That shop isn't going to turn around and sell your E8D for 1200. $1200 is MAP on a NEW E8D. They sell for 10-20% less with negotiation. They'll probably list it at $900. Maybe you can sell it outright for 800 or 900 if you're lucky.

This is right on and matches up with the kind of math I was doing when you and I discussed a trade, goodry.
