Trading works on a simple principle "BUY" AT "LOW" and "SELL" at "HIGH".
OP is not asking about trading on some exchange, he is pointing out P2P trading ang buying low sell high is very hard to apply since the other person that he will going to transact was applying that principle too.
@OP, just buy it for market price then just wait for it to fluctuate, you can easily recover the amount you loss on P2P trading once it's inflate.
