Once again, I am not a dealer. I'm a collector that answered a great ad. I have no customers. You know this does add another wrinkle. Personally if you're making a purchase for your personal collection, i would venture to say the "ethics standard" is significantly lower/non-existent. Conversely, if you're a seller buying inventory or something of the like, then i would argue that you have a higher "ethical standard" to adhere to, regarding karma, paying it forward, all that jazz. You are absolutely wrong. Morality is absolute; there are no grey areas in right and wrong. I have to disagree. This is not entirely different than a going out of business sale. If your local electronics shop went under and was having a liquidation sale, you wouldn't buy a large flat screen television at bargain basement price? Arguably it's the same difference if you're paying $500 for a tv worth $5k or something similar. Also, I still stand by my initial statement that some of the blame is on the seller. She was too lazy to check value, or simply didn't care. If I inherit something from a relative, like plates, or something I have no interest in, I'm going to either do a little leg work on my end to make sure I don't get fleeced or ask someone who has more knowledge on the material than i do. Again, I'm not saying this is right or wrong, but I am certainly, unequivocally saying that there IS a gray area. Especially when morals are different from person to person, largely dependent upon ones environment and life experience.

	Morality is a social construct.
