One of the major test equipment manufacturers recently offered a trade-in sale. You know, any old bit of similar gear in exchange for a discount on their shiny new one. Some of the stuff that get traded in is in excellent condition and worth a lot on ebay. But the dealers who accept are legally bound to destroy them, and to prove they have done so :palm: No giving it away to kids or hobbyists or schools :-- |

A late night stealth dumpster run in is order. "Boss, I'm just going to stay back and work late tonight, ok?" |

One goal of these trade-ins is to take competitor equipment off the market. Not to have kids or hobbyists experience well working competitor equipment. Yes we live in a sick world, especially when MBAs and accountants are involved. |
