So Barry,

Im not condoning taking advantage of someone on ebay, but let me get this straight - its your position that a little old lady who comes to you for advice on what she has in the box that she found in the attic is equivilent to an uninformed seller on ebay?

I couldnt disagree more. The little old lady in your example has taken an affirmative step to educate herself about her find. She comes to you because you have been recommended or she trusts you. On the other hand, the "uninformed" ebay seller, Im assuming, has done nothing to educate himself and simply thrown his find on ebay. While I dont condone taking advantage of the person and wouldnt do it myself, if he has failed to do anything to educate himself, its his fault if he accepts a low offer IMO.
