Imagine a world where every lawn mower looked and worked exactly the same....yet, were valued differently at different times...due to their current cutting performance.... now imagine you are a good neighbor....and I need to borrow your lawn mower.... next imagine my brother in law coming over and saying what a great looking/working mower I've borrowed...... imagine I sell it to him....(for sake of argument, we will assume he's not that bright a guy)....and I realize that your mower is at best an average performer..... So, after I've cut the grass, and sold the mower....I now have to return a mower to you.....and in a few days...I locate one that looks exactly like yours, works exactly the same, performs no less efficiently.....and I buy it for less than my dumb brother in law paid me for yours. What's wrong with this picture? Well, with the mower, I've sold something I'm not allowed to sell. But with a stock....I am allowed. I think the only thing that you, as the mower owner could be upset with, is that you did not know my brother in law....and should have done the same deal. Shootieloveshisgrass
