You are taking things "out of context".  My "3 cents
of the dollar" statement was for those who are in the
business of buying things from the unknowing (i.e.
"grieving widow") with the sale of the item in mind. 
Unfortunately, the number of persons involved in the
commercial sale of "boat anchor" equipment utilizing
this approach is increasing rapidly.

If you purchase an item from a person who knowingly
sets a lower price I have no problem at all with that.
 If you purchase a radio at a bargain at some second
hand store, I have no problem (in fact, the owner of
the second hand store probably thought that he/she was
getting the better end of the bargain).  I have no
problem with "taking" someone who thinks that they are
"taking" you.

It all comes back to what is illegal versus what is
immoral.  I, for one, still think that there should be
some moral attributes within the amateur radio
community.

Who determines this? Where is it written that if
someone gives me a radio or I buy it for $5, I can't
resell it for $50 or $500?
 
If you go to a hamfest and see a KWM-2A on one table
for $100 and another somewhere else for $800, which
are you going to buy?
