A core tenet of capitalism being evil is that someone loses in every transaction.
Not that one side can make a bad exchange, but that all of them must be.
Well, here I am.
Disputing this.
I have an item which, while it's still being made, is no longer made in the color I have.
I have a friend who desires that color.
This item, in this color is becoming something of a collector's item. I could sell it for far more than replacing it would cost.
But a swap with my friend works just as well.
They're buying a new one in the color that's still being made and I'm giving them mine.
I guess the socialists would claim that I'm getting screwed here because I could have sold it for more and had money left over once I'd replaced it.
But I don't see it that way at all.
Both me and my friend have entered into the transaction willingly (and technically I am trading for the slightly upgraded newer model) and we're both happy with the outcome. Well, USPS still has a vote in our satisfaction...
