It's really a question of what the money is being deducted from. If I buy bike for $30.00, sell parts from it for $50.00, and then buy more parts for $40.00 that I use on the bike, the original bike could be the freebie (presuming there's not another), and you'd have $40.00 in budget for the parts you bought. NOT the $20.00 you'd have by lumping the entire budget $30.00 on bike + $40.00 on parts - $50.00 on the sale of parts. ...at least that's my understanding of it. I'll accept correction by the judges if they say this is incorrect.
