What's funny is this wording was likely designed to try and screw over the customer and backfired, because historically a used SSD has always been cheaper than the original purchase price. But in this specific market, it works in the consumer's favor.

    Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x'd or more.
