== Trade-in credit{{anchor|Trade-In credit}} ==
Trade-in credit, also called trade-up credit, is a discount or credit granted for the return of something. The returned item may have little monetary value, as an old version of newer item being bought, or may be worth reselling as second-hand. The idea from a seller's viewpoint is to offer some discount but have the buyer showing some "counter action" to earn this special discount. Sellers like this as the discount granted is not just "given for free" and makes future price/value negotiations easier. Buyers have the advantage of getting some value for something no longer used. Examples can be found in many industries.<ref>{{cite web | url =http://savings.tm.agilent.com/index.cgi?PageTradeList:ALIAS=trade_specials&User:LANGUAGE=en | title =Example for Trade-In offerings in the Test- and Measurement Industry| work =All Business |access-date=2011-05-23}}</ref>
