I'm just curious how you answer the question when the scenario if flipped.

I think the difference is the dealer IS an expert on the subject matter. If they aren't, they stand to lose money and go out of business. Does a buyer have an obligation to do research, yes. Still, who could respect someone who took advantage of someone else who didn't have ANY knowledge of what they had. While it seems easy for most of us to access prices via ebay or auctions this is not true for some of the general public who have never even accessed ebay. I think that if the individual approaches and has no idea what they have, the dealer owes a moral obligation to at least inform the seller. Anything less seems at the very least sheisty.
