So when selling, put a price out there above the realistic amount and let the dreamers, hopefuls and flippers have their chance to over pay for a car, it is only fair.
Agreed. Followed to its logical conclusion, this approach often results in many classic cars being "valued" at less than the sum of their parts.

Using the "what it needs" deduction, an SC with a broken headstud, a graunchy 915, and faded paint would be worth almost nothing.
