This is no different than finding a rare card on eBay and BINing it for a fraction of its value. The buyer in either case has no obligation to appraise the card and inform the seller of what the card may be worth. The buyer's expertise is his advantage and I think he is free to use it. If the seller wants an appraisal, he can hire an appraiser and then decide what to do. Or research it online. He knows enough to go to a card show, and as rare as those are, he's obviously involved in the hobby.
BTW, the poll is a push-poll: the answers are framed [intentionally or accidentally] with judgments incorporated into them so as to push the respondent to go a certain way. In this case, away from the first response. There is no need to "feign ignorance"; that assumes some sort of ruse is necessary, and since most people do not want to admit to a ruse, they will not choose that option. To get an honest read I would reframe the first choice as "Purchase the card without comment for $100."
