You have inspected the dealer's planter, has the dealer had a chance to inspect your trade-in yet? Before you negotiate, invite the saleman out to your shed to look over your old planter and also for him to verify how well you care for your other equipment.
If I asked a strange salesman to instantly price a trade-in sight-unseen, I can only expect about what he can get if he has to "dispose of it" rather than sell it on his lot. That might be something a little above scrap price and much less than consignment auction price after auctioneer's fees.
Maybe when the salesman asked "Are you were serious about dealing (today)" he was saying "Are you seriously asking me to bid on a pig-in-a-poke"?
Just like vehicles, if my trade-in is in good condition I can get much more by selling it privately than from a trade-in.
Also, if the dealer already has six items in the back row just like my trade-in it's a dead give away that he will not want a seventh.
