  4. Buy and/or sell "used" fonts?

    Cheap fonts Dave; Why would I want to bid on your USED helvetica? When for only a few dollars less I can get the font that phototec has offered? After all, free is ALWAYS better than paying right? And if I have to pay for a font, why I might actually have to raise my prices and charge...
