VERY GOOD QUESTION!
FIRST CASE:
I ind out a company called AJAX has as stock pile of widgets. They thought the widgets would sell, but they didn't.
I look at the widgets and find them unimpressive.
I offer the company $.10 per widget and will take them all. It cost AJAX $10.00 per widget. The company accepts my offer. They claim it is better to make a little bit of money instead of making nothing.
I rename the widgets. The new name is Atlantigets. I do some 'magic' over the Atlantigets. Now the Atlantigets radiate with some of the greatest energy one can find. Nothing in comparison can radiate such healing energy. Next I take legal steps that will prevent others from 'stealing' my new product - Alantijets.
Next, I set the price for an Atlantijets to be $75.00.
Sounds like an odd story, but in our realm, I have seen this happen many times.
Is it misrepresentation? Is it ethical? Is it moral?
