If you sell...don't you make other's purchase?

Always struck by the Endowment restriction implied by the question: "Do you sell your tokens or signs for money?"

But, and this is kind of petty, doesn't requiring payment of Tithing for a temple recommend kinda require you to "Purchase" them?

Now Brent, your just delving in the mysteries and that just brings trouble.

Absolutely, without question.

As others have mentioned, you can fudge your way through many of the temple recommend questions, but the tithing one is where the buck stops. No tithing bucks? No temple recommend!

Is it possible that someone might have at one time or another sold their temple recommend on ebay? I guess that's one way to try and get some return on the tithing investment made to get the recommend in the first place. Seems like a lot of work to go through to make a dime but it would provide a service to some outsider who wants to see what all the secret/sacred fuss is about. If someone can sell a potato chip that looks like the virgin Mary I'm sure there's more than one sucker out there that would pay some $$ for a non-expired TR.
