rebuying

Acquiring once more

Rebuying is purchasing something again.

In gaming, especially poker, rebuying means buying back into a tournament after losing your chips: He went broke early but rebuying kept him in the game.

The term applies broadly to repurchasing anything previously bought or owned: She's rebuying all the albums she sold in college.
