Ten years ago I would probably have agreed that buying something for much
less than it was worth was dishonest at best (even if the seller was a
stranger), and theft at worst.

But the marked has changed. Most people know that almost anything can be
sold on eBay. This TO was an old radio, in good condition. If the seller
chose not to use the market available to them (heck, there are even stores
that sell stuff on eBay for you), I feel little sympathy.

Wouldn't common sense suggest tagging it for $50, on the off-chance
someone
will pay that much? A high price leaves room to haggle. But it's hard to
ask
someone for more than the tag price.

For some people it's just a question of getting it out of the house and
fifty dollars one way or the other isn't going to change their lives.
