If you went to a yard sale (rummage/garage) and came across an item you knew was far more valuable than what the listed price was, would you tell the seller?

...seems like they'd already know......but yes, i would mention it and ask them if they really wanted to sell it and for that particular price.

I would be wondering if it was fake (if art or somenting) or broken (like a lamp or radio).

I thought of this because my dad used to buy old glass at garage sales and then resell them. Sometimes he would get good deals. I never thought of it being bad since now everyone pretty much has a computer to do their research on their items.
