◦ The price of a used motorcycle will be very close to the value of a high-quality motorcycle, which will encourage people to sell high-quality motorcycles.
◦ The price of a used motorcycle will be between the value of a high-quality and low-quality motorcycle. This will encourage people to withdraw high-quality motorcycles from the market.
◦ This is an example of adverse selection, as the buyer will have more information about the quality of the used motorcycle than the seller will.
◦ Over time the price of a used motorcycle will increase in this market, as there is more of an incentive for owners of high-quality motorcycles to sell than owners of low-quality motorcycles.
