Something to consider,
I had a shop and repaired equipment. If the equipment was used, or taken in as a trade, the SELLER had some obligations, in brick and mortar stores.
I had to be listed as a Pawnbroker on my business license. Where I did business, was subject to some pretty intrusive BS, if the local PD wanted to.
The word, "Refurbished" or "Used", gave local PD a lot of power to pretty much do what they wanted. Could pop in unannounced look the place over... I did't care, but I didn't like some of the rules. In 20 years, 3 visits and always a rookie..
Always a BOLO for some high dollar stereo, or computer gear.
Back then computers cost more than stereo gear, by a long shot..No inexpensive computers back in the 80s 90s.
Maybe that some of the reason for NO TRADE IN...
Regards
