Why do used goods of different qualities often sell for the same price, while used goods of different sizes sell for different prices?

What will be an ideal response?


It is easier to determine the size of a good than it is to determine the good's quality. If size is a product attribute then it can easily be incorporated into the price of the good since both buyer and seller can agree on the size.
