I received a private party bid on one of my cars for $14K. Anyone want to guess what Carmax offered?
No, unless you tell us make/model/year/mileage of your car 
I would say 10% more, 15.4k
Look, it does not mean Carmax’s offer is good. It means private party tried to low-ball Max.

MAx_g is pretty smart, I don’t think he would stand for lowballers
Has nothing to do with him - he got an offer.
Private party offer was market-appropriate. I would not compare to a low-ball offer.
The make/model/mileage is irrelevant because I’m not asking what the value should be, I’m just surveying what people think the differential was.
I was joking [20 chars]
$15k?(+20 characters)
Nuh. $11.5K [20 chars]
The offer from Carmax was $16,500? Answer has to be 20 characters or more it seems.
18K. I have started to hate selling cars private party so I sold my last one to carmax. Now I “sell” them all to the dealer with the residual. Giving my GMC back this week. KBB trade-in value: 18k, residual: $24.6K
The suspense is killing me…

If you have the time, it could be a worthwhile investment to take your car to Carmax. I did, but their offer was lower than Auto Force’s 60-day guaranteed price AND I ended up selling my car on a private party sale for more than both.
Never had any luck with CarMax, but guessing for SUV or in demand vehicle you could get a reasonable offer. I have always found I get 10% or so more on my own.
Max is playing games with us I know his title is misleading 
Ha-ha. I was typing when Max posted that I was closer to the truth

Since that’s the case I take even better shot - $10K
Do as our friend Car"F"an would do and take it to multiple CarMax to get more offers.
