Is it wrong to sell a item to a shop then buy something in the shop with that money?

Imagine you sell cd's to the total of £55 to a record shop then you buy some records using that £55.

So you buy two records for £40, I think it was bad of me because the shop made a loss.

Yeah you can tell I was poor at maths in school.

Thanks..

It's their business model. Sell what you want, buy what you want with whatever money you want.

Anything else?

the 2 records you bought for £40 would have been marked up at a profit so im sure they were pleased, or am i missing something here?

They would've made a profit on the £40 you paid them for the two records, and they'll sell the records you sold them for a lot more than the £55 they gave you.

You're going to have to explain your thought process on this one.

Steve2000 · 3 Mar 2016 at 14:11

Would you rather sell them the CDs for £55 and leave without buying anything at all?

cheesyboy · 3 Mar 2016 at 14:11

Legally, you're in the clear, but morally you've stolen from them

Hope you can live with yourself

I don't get how the shop made a loss

tom_e · 3 Mar 2016 at 14:13

It didn't unless it's run by idiots who price their items to make a loss anyway.

You have no idea what the shop paid for the 2 records - for all you know they were free as they were handed in by Adam Johnson's ex-girlfriend

cainer · 3 Mar 2016 at 14:15

shop buys CD's for £55
shop sells CD's for ~£100
shop sells OP records for £40 that they probably bought for £20
????
profit

They didnt make a loss they made a profit on you twice.

You gave them 2 records for 55 wich they will sell for say 70, and yoh then gave them back 40 for a record that they got for say 25.
