First a "I needed a finger" thread, now you all are thinking about playing with each other's instruments. We obviously need to ramp up the nekked chick pic ratio of this forum.

My meat whistle will never be up for sale...I've grown too attached to it over the years.

Sammy described it well. A store needs profit. It is an art to take in trades & make money with them. Many customers feel insulted but they just don't understand the economics. If a store takes in a trade against a new sale, they defer their profit until they sell the used piece. And the used sale has to show a stand-alone profit as well as it is 'stealing' a new product sale - as Sammy pointed out.
