To answer the titular question: Yes, but it would be so against the interests of PGI to include this sort of option I can't see it ever happening... Maybe for Premium time users or something...

How would it be against the interest of PGI?

Don't foget that things you do to a frame like Endo-Steel and DHS mod are lost when you sell and you have to buy again to mod your new empty frame. Only the DHS mod is 1.5M so I don't see why PGI would get hurt by this.

I voted yes, but it won't happen. The C-bill sink is there for a reason... and most of the time you'll accumulate that money through grinding it out (if not all the way).
What people really should be asking for is a stripped hero version that is sold at a reduced MC cost. Since most of the "MC Cost" is actually related to equipment.. it puts a premium on them needlessly (see the XL engines on your favorite hero mech).
That is what should be available.

Huh?
Currently you pay a flat MC price determined by tonnage.
E.g. a Heavy Metal gives me more value, as the chassi is already equipped with XL engine and especially DHS, items I have not to grind for. On the other hand, you have to grind CBills to equip a Misery with DHS.
Hero Mechs should be priced according to their equipment, not the flat weight of the chassis.

I like this idea if one is re-buying an empty mech that had been previously owned.
So first time buy it's as we currently have it. If you sell on purpose or accident, you could re-buy the mech at a marked up price based on the value of the empty mech.
