I guess, if that's the way you look at it.  The guy I bought from also had no 
feedback -- one line description and no feedback = poor bids.

I look at it differently.  If you buy a mint Rolleiflex 3.5f at a garage sale 
for $10 are you ripping the person off?  What about if a client calls with 
the urgent call that the network has been down all day and you're offered 
$500 extra to fix it RIGHT NOW...and the fix takes 5 minutes?

A deal is fair if buyer and seller are happy.  I guess I don't see commerce 
as a big moral issue.  No coercion, willing buyer and seller, good sale.

But I can see where you'd think otherwise.
