You reject the amount of effort it takes to walk away from $8,000 -- perhaps a semester of tuition for a college student?

- tptacek 7y agoYes, I reject the amount of effort that takes, just like I neglect the amount of effort it takes not to pocket the money you find in a wallet on the ground.
- anon1m0us 7y agoFalse analogy.
- skinnymuch 7y agoI believe it’s a false analogy too. But why exactly is it false? Is it because taking money from a wallet is obviously immoral and you’re robbing an individual?
- sombremesa 7y agoIf I go to sell an item on eBay (or a pawn shop) and accidentally enter $8 in the price rather than $800, I doubt there is any recourse for me on legal or moral grounds when that item gets bought. Caveat venditor. Dropping a wallet on the ground is a completely different story where neither party is taking part in a bona fide transaction.
- skinnymuch 7y agoIt would be silly to still send an eBay item to the buyer if you accidentally put down $8 instead of $800 as a seller. Or to buy an item if you accidentally put down $800 instead of $8. In both cases I don’t see how you shouldn’t not take part in the transaction. In the same way people will sell photos of an item for $80 while the product is normally $800. People will think they found an amazing deal but really just be out $80. You could say that was greed talking. It seems more like a scam to me.
