the buyer knew what he was getting (a $175 shot in the dark at 20-25k item) so he didn't get hosed or ripped off...the sucky part is the plank turned out to be exactly what he'd thought.
same thing with scavengers going to flea markets and gambling $50 on a painting thinking it could be some expensive artwork. once in a blue moon it works out most of the time it's money flushed away.
