Why shouldn't the PCTA take old markers from trees, replace them with new
markers and sell the old ones at a profit? From what I gather here the old
markers have a market and their price far exceeds manufacturing cost. This 
seems like asking your representative to fly your flag on the capitol
for a few hours. (Just make sure there are more replacements than markers
sold.) Eagles can't be manufactured.
