Default Hypothetical ethical issue. What would you do?

Posted By: Max Weder

Put yourself in the shoes of the vendor.

What if you put an expensive card mistakenly in a box of crappy commons for sale for $1? I suspect most would scream murder and demand the card back once they discovered their mistake.

In much smaller tems, this did happen to me as purchaser once. I was going to buy a $10 book. The gift inscription read basically something like: "Here's the book, young Johnny. I hope you enjoy, as there's something special for you inside". Little Johnny never bothered to crack open the book before dumping it, as inserted inside was a crisp $5 bill. I pointed this out to the seller when I was buying the book. He laughed so hard that he missed it that he let me keep the $5.
