<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9521466, member: 79460"]Neither kidding nor being serious. Just playing devil's advocate. I don't think it's as black and white as you make out. I can understand if for example you sell a house that suffers subsidence and fail to disclose then the buyer would suffer serious hardship due to the omission. In this case, in 20 years time the plate would be in exactly the same condition. It wouldn't mysteriously fall in half unexpectedly. It's not like I have photoshopped the mark out. There are clear photos of it for any buyer to do their own research. I have given them the opportunity to do so. Shouldn't they be responsible for that? On the flip side, I bought two 1920s hand painted plates for £10 each a while back. I knew what they were potentially worth when I bought them but did not disclose my knowledge. No one criticised this behaviour when I posted them here. Legally there is a difference but is there morally? Doesn't matter which way the money is going , it's still a mutual exchange. I have added the contentious info to my listing albeit not 100% solid as there is no cross reference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
