A rare experience that only occurs once in a great lifetime. Between a salesman and his prey.
When a guy takes a customers trade in, then 20 minutes later sell it right back to said customer at a mark-up.
Tim: Look at my new car!
Jay: Isn't that your old car?
Tim: No.. this one cost 3,000 more!
Jay: No I'm pretty sure that's the same fucking hyundai...
Tim: wha... Son of a B!tch the old Nigerian Buy-Back!!!
Jay: You're a retard.
Usually only seen in small to mid-sized bars, when a bartender gives a patron a drink "on the house". This usually occurs after the patron purchases three or more drinks. It keeps the patron buying drinks and gives them satisfaction.

v. The act of selling one's text books from the previous semester back to the university. This will ALWAYS result in feelings of abuse, frustration, being ripped off, and barely enough cash to pay for a conciliatory ice cream cone.
"Dude, I spent like $500 on text books for class this spring, and I went to the university book store for a Textbook buy-back, and they only paid me $23 for the whole lot!"
"Wow! That's messed up! You must feel pretty ripped-off, abused, and frustrated. Wanna go get some ice cream?"
"Sure. Next year I'm definitely buying my books online, if the school posts the book list earlier than seven days before class!"
