So, if there's a new unopened 'Say You Will' for $14.98 and a used, re-shrink-wrapped 'Say You Will for $3.99 at the same store and the used, cheaper one is the copy the customer chooses, with the 'Say You Will' title and part of barcode on your receipt, then my Q was does it count as another sale for the 'Say You Will' cd through Soundscan even though it's a resale of a returned or traded-in copy, and still makes the band one copy closer to 1 million copies sold, or not? My guess is it counts.
I know there's a difference between shipping and selling platinum, but never have been informed about how exactly the used cd selling affects royalties and certifications. Maybe I should email Soundscan or Fred Bronson of Billboard.
If he's still there!

Yeah I was just reinforcing the fact that registers scans do count, but whether or not used sales count, I haven't a clue!
