As for using all of your own, well some people just are not that good at selling but are great with trading and or traffic. Others may want a good variety on their sites. Many possible reasons here.
Lastly if the spots that are for sell were not sold over and over again often to the same buyers, then maybe you would have a valid point. Yet most of the decent tgps that sell spots sell numerous ones over and over to the same companies, and often have a waiting list to boot.
