Because I have self-respect, respect for my peers and respect for this craft. I'm both lucky and thankful that I was raised better than to gouge my peers. You go ahead and operate that way, and I'll be dignified and honorable, instead.
I give gear (and uniforms) away, or sell it at a loss if I used it only slightly. I'm a lot more comfortable with that than I would be taking advantage of another umpire.
