I generally agree with you in principle. However, this is precisely why raw cards should be priced at a significant discount to their graded equivalents. If you have a card that you think would grade an SGC 5, but you did not get it graded, do not price it as the equivalent of an SGC 5. I agree of course, that it is also on the buyer to do their research, and he shouldn't pay a graded price for a raw card, but I've seen many dealers play this game of pricing cards as if they're graded but then taking no responsibility if the card doesn't actually grade the way they priced it.
