That's what happens when you buy something sold for much less than
it is worth because the seller either doesn't know or doesn't care and
you turn around and resell it for what it is worth. At least what it's
worth to someone.

You act like that is something new or totally dishonest. If he is
purposely misrepresenting what he is selling that is one thing, but if
it is an honest representation and someone is willing to pay his price,
there is nothing wrong with that. People in the antique business have
done it for hundreds of years.

Now I don't want to pop your rose covered bubble, but you realize
that Wal-Mart buys a crap pile of stuff from China for pennies on the
dollar and then resells it to you for probably ten times what they paid
for it, right? Unless you can show something genuinely dishonest that
this guy is doing, then your call out is out of line.
