If you know the store owner and you know they are struggling with finance or something I'd be ready to bump it up a few notches maybe... If you think that the re-sell value is $50, but they chose to sell for $5 anyway, I don't see the problem at all. Go for the bargain. The have it in the store because they want to sell it, so you make them happy. At most you can tell them afterwards that they may want to check the standard price for it, but it's really not your responsibility to price-check the stores items. 1/10. | ||

At most you can tell them afterwards that they may want to check the standard price for it, but it's really not your responsibility to price-check the stores items. 1/10. They're a box of 1000 items, which are contained in 10 sleeves of 100, each sleeve of 100 was supposed to be $5 but someone put the $5.00 price tag on 3 of the boxes of 1000, the other 20 or so didn't have a price tag. The cashier didn't have to look at the price tag though, he just scanned and it was $5 with the barcode. It was definitely a mistake, because it's a low volume type of product that certainly doesn't sell often. Maybe should have told them... But I really don't like them, so I picked up the one I needed. The others were incompatible with my stuff, so I left them there even though I could resell them for $40+ of profit each, very easily.

If your goal is to communicate efficiently, and not to stroke your ego by displaying how many large words you know, the real challenge is to find the smallest and most common word where people will still know with sufficient accuracy what you mean. Wow, I heard that Germans lack a bit of humour, but this is the first time that I saw. | ||
