[Trainer-talk] item for sale

[David Goldfield]

I'm not sure that I agree with you on this issue.  If I received a gift 
from someone for an occasion such as my birthday am I wrong to offer it 
for sale just because I did not have to pay for the item? If someone is 
offering to sell an item, whether it's a book or a computer, it doesn't 
occur to me to ask whether the seller acquired the item at no cost or 
whether it was purchased as a new or used item.  In 1987 I received a 
Versabraille P2C as a gift.  When it no longer met my needs I sold it 
two years later for around $2400.00. The buyer didn't ask how much I 
might have paid for the item and I have no guilt whatsoever in what I 
did as long as I sold it for a fair price.
