The only question is whether you and Nils are dishonest enough to deserve the censure of others, which largely has to do with their own level of dishonesty. But "honest" is not a very mushy word like "moral" and some others where you get to draw your own threshold or use your own definition so that nearly everyone considers themselves to be "moral". Honest (snipped from my dict.) -- Not taking unfair advantage; truthful; trustworthy; equitable; fair; having integrity; guileless; open. Final snip -- "of good repute". Nils and you have damaged your repute to some extent. Not that it matters much, since your readers are unlikely to have business dealings with you anyway. I think I'm just stating facts and not saying how badly or not-so-badly I view these dishonest dealings. Few people are guiltless and for many mail order pricing errors, correcting the problem would cost the seller more than the error, and costs the buyer at least his time, etc, etc, so justifications are often easy to make.
