Acorn did something similar with one of their machines (the Archimedes 
possibly?) giving a set trade-in price regardless of state of traded 
computer...the company I was working for at the time was getting all sorts 
of machines for the trade-in, including a ZX80; they were just smashed up 
and binned.  [I only found out about the ZX80 after it had been destroyed 8-( ]
