This sort of thinking gets trotted out just about every time there is a thread discussing a Mercedes-Benz for sale on eBay.
IF the goods are accurately represented (no deception, intentional or otherwise, so that both buyer and seller understand the nature of the goods)
AND IF there is no funny stuff going on behind the scenes (shill bidding, joke bidder who will never close the deal, etc.)
THEN the closing price is a fair price. It's a price that the seller is willing to accept and that the buyer is willing to pay.
It doesn't amount to a hill of beans that
you think something is "trash" if another individual (often a number of them) think it's "treasure".
