First, can you give one example where Rick lies or misrepresents an item as something it isn't to get a better price? Even one example? I have never seen that on the show. Never.
I can show endless examples though where Rick pays more than the seller requested after the "expert" valued the item higher.
And using rhetoric like Rick being the "strong" and any random seller as the "weak" borders on comical, especially when I have never seen one episode where a person was selling because they were desperate for food or to pay a badly needed medical bill. The most common thing people say they will spend the money on if a deal is made, is going on a trip. These hardly sound like those qualifying as the "weak".
NO ONE can ever claim to be robbed or ripped off if they are offered a certain amount, and they WILLINGLY accept it. The only just argument anyone can counter with, would be if Rick lies and misrepresents an item, otherwise, it's on the seller.
Can you honestly say Dale that in this day and age of endless information available via the internet, that someone can make a legitimate claim and excuse of being completely and utterly ignorant on any topic??
If they are, that is on them and not others.... personal responsibility my friend.

I did not say that. I simply said it irks me when Rick offers a price that is ridiculously low compared to the true value of the item.
I understand fully what you are also saying, people need to educate themselves better, but at the same time, I think a little leeway/latitude should be exhibited with Rick at times when he must know some have no clue what they actually have nor the true value of it. I would assume some of these sellers don't even have a computer nor where to look if they did? Not everyone is the same.
I don't watch the show religiously by any stretch so I can't speak on much more than what I have personally seen but hopefully, like you said, there are times when he actually pays more.
