Default Moral Question

Posted By: HalleyGator

If she refuses to accept anything from Charles...

and is adamant about giving him the cards for free...

what she he do?

Should he sit there and inspect his "gift" and tell her how much he thinks it is worth?

("Gee, Mrs. Wilson, thanks for the Christmas sweater! I would guess that it is worth somewhere between $75 and $100 at Macy's ... so let me pay you for it.")

Do you folks REALLY think that this lady thinks that he grandfather's old cards are not valuable??? Why else would she have saved them all these years!!

You guys all act like there is a 100% certainty that this old box of cards is worth $10,000. Yet you are the same guys who NEVER believe that any card auctioned on EBay by "an old lady who just found her grandfather's cards" is worth TWO CENTS!!!!

Are we all "morally forbidden" from now trying to get a good deal on EBay unless we e-mail the seller first and tell them what the item it really worth?
