[Trainer-talk] item for sale

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

you don't get it.
i don't care if someone gave a gift or if you saved your own money to 
purchase a major technical device then sell it when you don't use it or want 
something different.

the issue is with clients of a state agency getting a major technical device 
from tax payer dollars and selling it under that situation!
