Ethics question - If you know what is wrong with a game, do you tell them?
This is that gray area - Is it ethical if you pick up a game for cheap because it is not working but when you get there you see an obvious problem (connector disconnected, etc) - do you tell them?
In the past few weeks I have picked up two games that played blind but looked completely dead when I got there. My policy is not to troubleshoot on site if the price is at the non-working level (<$100) but it makes me wonder if that is ethical - in both cases all I (and the owner) had to do was coin it up and you could hear it playing, but both times I didnt do that on site, partly for fear the price would go up and partly because the game was worth the asking price to me even if it was in fact 100% dead.
What is your policy?
