The Salt Lake Tribune -- Ethics: There was no rug rip-off:
"Q: I occasionally traffic in Persian carpets. A fellow came over about one I had advertised for $130. He offered $160 -- evidently he remembered the $175 price of another carpet and was trying to bargain. I accepted, and we each felt we got a great deal. My housemate, Dave, says, 'No harm, no foul.' My wife thinks I ripped the guy off. Counsel?
