A lot of things make no sense. But it is legal to take advantage of them. For example, people buy things at 70% off store sales and resell them on ebay for 50% off retail. 100% legal. And probably a pricing mistake by the store.
Is that stealing? -
Read this perhaps. Around the same time my corporation was incessantly spammed by them.

I've bought and sold Native American artifact collections for the last 40 years as a hobby and for making extra money. Ten years ago I bought a collection from a woman that was having trouble paying her mortgage. It was her father's collection, and it was spectacular. I bought it from her for $12,500. She wasn't terribly happy with the price, but I told her that's all I had at the moment, and if it sold for a lot I would split it with her. Well I ended up selling the collection for over $100k, and 3 months later I mailed her a check for $50k on top of the $12,5 she already got. She was happy, and so was I.
Two years ago I went to a local auction house to take a look at what they had. There was an item mounted on a wooden base labeled as "earthy sculpture". I paid $5 bucks for it. What I knew that nobody else knew was that it was a wooly mammoth tooth. I sold it on eBay for $5,500, and no, I didn't split it with the auction house. -
It was the same situation. Someone screwed up. They did not know what a woolly mammoth tooth looks like (neither would I unless a woolly mammoth bit me). Or they entered a disadvantageous rate. Both are mistakes and such mistakes are literally EVERYWHERE and it is legal to look for them because we live in the land of capitalism.
What is bad is dishonesty. If you promise someone a woolly mammoth tooth but instead deliver an imitation, I would be first to call you bad names and demand your punishment. But you have no obligation to offer free education to sellers or a free trucking rate correction service. The OP was an honest trucker and he delivered an honest service.
If I had a regular customer though, I would definitely mention to them if they mess things up and overpay me by 10x the amount.Last edited: May 10, 2019
