When your dealer bestows upon you, out of the goodness of his heart, a free bag of better/more expensive product that makes what you usually get from him now seem like a bag of crappy-ass shit. Of course he would deny trying to Up-Sell, but is hoping to turn your usual $100 order into a $200 order, having shown you what you are missing. He might also step up the game by making sure your $100 bag now goes down in quality each time you buy, just enough to be noticed by you but not seem obviously intentional by him.

Get the Up-sell mug.by chunkymonkey921 August 15, 2004
Get the sell mug.The term 'sellout' has been around for a few generations. Often used as a negative term used to describe somebody that conforms to a particular way of doing something such a dress, vernacular, or type of work.
Recently it has been used in the indy music scene to a large extent since the explosion of ska, punk, hardcore, and indy rock.
One earns the label of sellout by alienating their core fans that have supported the band by changing their style to be more appealing to a broader audience, often become what they were rebeling against in the very beginning. While some may call this "evolution of the artist/music" one has to remember that evolution is a gradual change and not sudden and drastic, the losing of edge, and doesn't accompany a bigger record label.
While many bands out there refuse to be labeled as sellouts, they are often putting out records and being quoted as saying "This is more true to our core sound, where we started".
