Basically what I am getting at is buy things, sell them for more.. It is entirely up to a person/individual if they decide to take it or not, weather it be for sale in the paper, the bay or the site.. Naturally people(most) no what they are looking at and what things cost..

Not being a dick, but that's the way I see it. Matter of opinion I suppose.

As long as you're honest about what you're selling, and aren't purposely ripping someone off, I see nothing wrong with it.
Personally, I try to give the buyer a good deal while still coming out ahead of where I started. Could I get more most of the time? Sure, but as long as I'm not losing any money, it makes me feel like a good person if I give them a bit of a break.

It's also been my experience when selling at item, that if the price listed is too low, it often takes longer to sell. Since potential buyers understand what it is "worth", they assume something is wrong with the item, or worn out, or whatever, if the price is too low. There is an art to determining a "fair" price on anything. There is also an art to buying low and selling high.

Believe it or not, people actually like to brag about how much their cool **** is worth. Never see anybody bragging about their $49 bargain cell phone. But just watch everybody brag about their special iphone, or whatever. It applies to custom wheels, tires, superchargers, paint jobs, etc. The more coin they spent, the more special it is to them.

IMO as long as you aren't selling it for more than it's worth it's fair game.
If you happened to get a hell of a deal and still sell it to someone else for less than its worth then its win win. You made some money and the person buying it saved some money. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Selling something to someone before you've purchased it from another person like that DVD guy was trying to do is wrong tho.
