◦ 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.
