I don't get it.... what does covering with both hands diagonally do?

When you say lost, what do you mean..... it went into the dumpster?  Why 
can't all of it go onto the sales floor?  It seems to me that as long as 
it doesn't have razor blades sticking out of it, there's no harm in at 
least trying to sell something.  If it's a questionable item, as far as, 
a sale goes, pull it after a few days, or lower the price.  If it 
doesn't work give the buyer 7 days to return it, as long as it they have 
a receipt.
