different societies have different levels of acceptable behaviour and 
greed. The whole bargain hunting ethos and caveat emptor approach to 
trade operates at a level of greed I, and presumably Teresa, find 
immoral even if it is legal. If somebody steals $30 from a little old 
lady because they can snatch her purse they are no more dishonest than 
an antiques dealer who knowingly pays $30 less for an item they buy 
from her. One exploits physical weakness, the other ignorance. Both are 
dishonest even though one is legal.
Just MHO
