What does a company do with a buyback pin?
-Strip it for parts?
-Sell on their scratch N' dent page?
-Fix it for resale?
If the answer is the latter, why don't they just offer that option and send out refurbished PF's to unhappy customers? Just like your cell phone warranty, they don't give you a new one. They give you someone else's headache that they refurbished.
