亏: 176元.
1. get real 100 (+) from neighbor, return 79 (-) to buyer, keep 21 (+)
2. return real 100 (-) to neighbor, get fake 100 back (nothing)
3. loose an item worth 18 (-).
Total loss +21 -79 -100 -18 = -176
So let us dumb folks figure it out since the smart ones and non-brave ones are not brave enough to enlighten us.最初由 如假包换的马甲 发布

no, the 18 bucks was (were)lost last time because he got something that was worthless (i mean, could not be sold); at current transaction he only lost the 礼物.
suppose you buy one share of a company stock at $100 on September 1 05 and on September 11, 06 the company go belly up and one share is $0. Do you lose money in 05 or 06? for me, it is 05, the time money leaves me.
