Bottom line - if a fellow buys a bike for $20, does nothing to it, and lists it for $200.... is that wrong or morally reprehensible? Maybe, maybe not - Barring lying, misrepresentation, or other unethical shenanigans on the sellers part I just don't see the issue. If it sells for that amount, he discovers it's true value. If it does not, he eats the bike or reduces the price till he finds the true value.

Just the act of buying low and selling high bothers a lot of people here. I don't understand why that is. Unless they are wishing for something that has more value than they are willing to pony up - then it's just sour grapes.
