Do you think this would be unethical?

You sell them before they completely wear out and then buy new ones...

Some people do that with trucks.

 

I dont support stealing and you shouldn't either.How you like it if someone stole your daughter's bike and sold it? Come on..

 

I never said i support it. Dont put words in my mouth. Why dont u read the other posts. We do not know if the seller stole it or not . All we know is we are getting a good deal

 

Shame on me for not providing her a lock to put on it.

 

If some lard ### trucker came up to me with a new My Little Pony 16" bicycle, I'd have to think he might have stolen it. Just like if someone pulls up in a van full of new, unopened merchandise, I'd suspect something was amiss. A driver selling used stuff? I wouldn't think twice.

 

And that's what this posting points out. It's pretty common for people to sense wrong behavior. Call it intuition or common sense or gut instinct. My guess is that less than a quarter of buyers would truly be unaware. But most have no proof. They're not looking for proof. They're looking for an easy way to absolve themselves of guilt.
It's not about the judge in black robes.
It's about the judge in the mirror...
