Unless you have a taste for {{tag|paradox}} (and who, in our shadow-flecked modern world doesn’t?) there’s ''no'' difference between a [[repo]] and a [[sell/buy-back]], and even seasoned industry professionals get fidgety and make their excuses to pop off to the bathroom if you ask them to give one. To the sentiment that [[buy/sell-back]]s are undocumented, the lie is somewhat given to that by the fact that the {{gmra}} expressly incoporates the {{gmraprov|Buy/Sell Back Transaction}} as a defined term ''with its own freaking Annex'', meticulously negotiated into the master by [[negotiator]]s the world over.
