Feel guilty after a trade?

I think you need to be honest, but nobody expects you to cut your own throat. If you were honest and the person you were dealing with knew the approximate values, it shouldn't be a problem.

When I was a kid there was a kid on my bus that used to buy pieces of the worst candy I could imagine and he seemed to love the stuff. We sold him the candy (at inflated prices) and chuckled about it. This happened over and over again. But this points out something about people which at the time I had no conception of ... some people especially young folks have absolutely no idea of values or what a "dollar is worth". As a kid, the value of things was constantly drilled into our brains. It reminds me of using other currencies and not having a tuned sense of value in that country and paying higher prices then necessary.

I still remember the candy thing, so you know I took advantage and felt guilty about it. That was nearly 40 years ago.
