The local electronics dump (i.e. the local electronics recycler) has a nixie-tube clock that I try to buy from him every time I go in there to wade through the crap.
Cheffo: "I see you haven't sold that nixie clock"
Cheapo: "Well, I'll get around to fixing it and then I'll sell it on eBay."
Cheffo: "I'll give you what you have into it so far plus 25%/50%/etc% "
Cheapo: "Thanks, but I want to sell it on eBay."
Repeat for 36 months so far ...
