It's all about context.

• If I'm looking on eBay and run across a horrifically underpriced card (which is basically the only thing I look for), I buy it without giving it a second thought. The seller is responsible for his/her pricing and there is no onus on me to edify.

• If I'm at a garage sale and an elderly widow gives me a price that is criminally low on her husband's card collection (yeah, like I've ever been lucky enough to have that scenario unfold!!), I'd say, "No way! That would be ripping you off," and would up the price accordingly to something that reflects the true value of the cardboard.

• If there was a combo of these two, say an eBayer who had no clue what's going on and truly made a mistake (and is a nice person) listing it for what he/she did, I would contact them afterwards to help right the situation...which would allow me to sleep at night.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
