3.99 vase sells for $100,000

G1911 · #1 12-18-2023, 06:06 PM

I can only find one post in the original thread saying this kind of suit should be acceptable.

Most of the original thread is a guy calling anyone who gets a huge bargain without telling the seller what they have and using their knowledge for the sellers gain a "huge piece of shit" and the resulting virtue signaling debate. There was not really any debate over anything remotely approaching either the mask case or this vase.

1 single person thought a suit was reasonable. I still do not get why we are bringing this up as if there is any legitimate debate whatsoever.

Plenty of people seemed to have some qualms about the original situation.

Even you had a quote there:

"One should not rip people off for ethical reasons..."

Of course, you then went on to argue that you shouldn't be obligated to use your knowledge to benefit someone else.

And then there were also a handful of posts about how people believed it was appropriate to cut the seller into your deal if you're able to make good money on your flip.

One should not be rude to their neighbors. That doesn't mean I believe I can sue my neighbor who forgets to bring a casserole to the neighborhood potluck. I am unable to find anyone besides our regular singular troll arguing in favor of a suit of the nature in discussion.

Fair enough!

Still seems like we argued for a while about it, all things considered.

And maybe we haven't plumbed the depths of the various ethical hypotheticals yet, which is why we need another thread to help us flesh it out further.

Perhaps we can even sue each other to create months of drama for the board.

Be careful!

I might just sue myself next.
