I guess the OPs situation is somewhere between the hired appraiser and the store price situation. If he has stumbled upon a million dollar collection that some guy just bought and believes that the guy who bought it doesn't know the value of what he has . . . well that's neither of the above situations. I agree if someone posts a card for $100 on ebay and its really worth a $1000, I'd have no issue buying it. But if I walk into my neighbor's house and see a rare painting on the wall and say to him "hey, I'll give you $200 for that painting . . ." knowing full its some rare Andy Warhol that my neighbor is totally ignorant to, I think that's unethical.
