T ELet me put this in a different light.
You walk into someone's house. They have some cards they want to sell. You look at them-a nice load of T206s. Do you say, "Wow, these are worth a hell of a lot of money, great batch of cards, I don't think I can afford the true value of these cards..." or do you say, "Hmm, interesting. But there is a bit of a condition problem here and baseball cards aren't what they were a few years ago and blah blah blah..." and try to get the cards for a fair (to you) price?
That is capitalism. I try to be "fair" in my purchases, but who in the end am I being fair to, first? Me. I walk out of the house with the cards, I tell myself I've been fair to the seller, but I am looking out for #1. Am I an evil person? A bad person? I don't think so. I think I am living by the rules of our society.
