What I and Nils described are two totally different situations, and
while what Nils did is not honest, I wouldn't say the same about what
I did. Obviously I'm biased :)

I believe that what I did is honest. If a shop has an item that I want on
display at a price that I like, I hand them over my cash and buy it - it
is called "trade".

So, what you are saying is that if you see a product at a very low price
at a store, which could be due to an error, the management going bonkers
or merely a big bargain, you are going to beg them to pay more?
