We bribe our kids out of their Halloween candy every year.

They can’t “buyback” what they didn’t sell in the first place, be it guns or candy.
They can “buy up” things, but not buy back.
(Unless you have a business-building dentist or a rockin’ police force that was actually selling candy and guns before buying them back.)

My dentist actually had a big bowl of candy to pick from on the way out. Said they were drumming up business. 🙂

So can we expect candy shops from all over town to be dropping by with their old, unsellable inventory? That seems to be what happens with the gun buybacks 🙂

I plan to position myself just outside the dentist office, with a large sign saying I will buy their candy for more than the dentist. I’d love some of that “assault candy,” with more than 10 pieces in each package. And who knows – some kid is sure to have some old antique candy from his grandparent’s candy jar, and not know just how valuable it is. I bet I can get a 20 year old Zagnut bar off somebody for less than a buck!

“They can’t “buyback” what they didn’t sell in the first place…”
Exactly, and this is just one of countless examples of muddled thinking in so-called mainstream media.
Understanding begins with clear thinking, and then proceeds to observation. Without clear thinking, observations aren’t worth much. Those who use the term “buyback” in this way are obviously not thinking clearly, and so their conclusions and responses are going to be disjointed. QED.
What? You’re paying money for candy? OK, I’ll steal some sugar from Mommy’s kitchen, turn it into hard rock candy, sell it to your dumb ass for cash, then use the cash to buy candy bars. Or I’ll steal candy from smaller kids and sell it to your meddling, retarded ass and use it to buy liquor…or pot…

Local dentists around here have been doing it for a couple years now. My 10 year old nephew went trick or treating just so he could sell the candy to the dentist.
