Exactly. That's the part that is bothering me. The
guy who bought it from
Fred Hatfield paid $40,000 just a few months earlier and purposefully did
not tell Mr. Hatfield what he planned to turn around and auction it for.
To me, this is just plain wrong.
No, it's capitalism.
Using your logic above, it's just "plain wrong" that you didn't have a
flurry of communication with Fred Hatfield to wise him up that he
should hold out for more money.
If the reseller is culpable as you describe, then YOU are culpable
because you clearly have the knowledge of what these sorts of things
are selling for and you didn't alert Mr. Hatfield.
