<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3100747, member: 27832&quot;]If a dealer <i>lies</i> to a customer about the value of a piece, and the customer accepts that valuation, <b>that&#039;s on the dealer</b>. Otherwise, you&#039;re saying that <i>anyone</i> buying or selling <i>anything</i> is responsible for becoming an expert on that thing first, or else they&#039;re fair game for ripoffs. That&#039;s fundamentally unreasonable, IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d go further and say that this includes <b>lies of omission</b>, covered by my first hypothetical. Just saying &quot;this is my offer&quot; without saying anything explicit about value doesn&#039;t get you off the ethical hook.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you say otherwise, how can you justify considering &quot;fraud&quot; a criminal offense?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
