Perhaps viewing it as
the advertised trade value being the true value, and it’s less for cash, might help the dissonance you feel?
True value is surely subjective. I've got no problem with the idea of something being discounted for cash. Only if the cash price represents a discount. Doesn't work if the cash price is top dollar and then a stated trade value is even higher.

Trade value higher than sale value. I don't grasp the concept.
Seen this a fair few times recently on basses for sale here and I really don't understand the reasoning behind it. If, for example, a bass is advertised for sale at a grand why is the trade value 20% more? The most obvious flaw is that logic dictates that the bass being traded for it get's a 20% boost in trade value in return.... and the end result is a zero-sum game.
The only purpose I can see it has is to show an unwillingness to trade. So don't offer trades in that case. It's perfectly fine to just want a straight sale. Creating alternative prices/values for different scenarios is a nonsense to my mind.

I keep coming back to look at this lovely bass, it really flicks my switch having the rosewood board. It looks a really nice example.
It does look the business.

Have this for sale as this was the neck I bought to swap on this body. Could maybe do a deal on them together.

The value is the value. It’s one figure.
There may be negotiation regarding the exchange i.e. the cash on top.
But x is worth x and y is worth y.
X is not worth x(plus) because y is y
