I don't want to be accused of trolling Druffs thread so I'll post my own.

When buying a piece of someone, why is it they expect markup? I would expect to receive even terms for my money or perhaps extra value. The person wants to play yet doesn't have the full funds. They should give up value in order to get in the game. The idea of getting 30% markup is preposterous. Sucker born everyday I guess.
