I agree with Jim W.
I also hate to see when folks get on the forum and brag how they "scored or snagged" a collectable. I just hate those phrases. Nothing wrong with being proud of purchase but just don't over brag how you " got over" on someone! Strictly my opinion only. Ron

Most businesses have a similar cost of goods.

This is different than the discussion point. It is when the buyer offers the trusting widow 10 cents on the dollar and then brags about it where I see an issue.
