I agree with you on making the next guy smile. And I feel it's always best to be the more generous member.

I pay MSRP at a few shops I go to. As do many other BOTL's that I know of.
One issue for me is let's say I got a $10 cigar at $5 on a discount. Does that now mean it's trade value is $5?
On the opposite side of the coin, if I paid $20 for a $10 because of taxes, does that now make it's trade value $20?
