Ah well you live and learn. Certainly not going to do that mistake twice.

It is only after a few years of inflation that your trade-in value will exceed the price you paid, and that only applies if you have looked after it. Standard business practice. No shop is going to do a trade-in for more than the cost of buying a new item at the wholesale price.

Thanks for clearing that up
