Need more money? (not some BS scam)

So when you buy something (anywhere) do you ask the seller how much his bills are before you determin if you are going to buy somthing from him?
What If the guy has close to zero overhead?
Is there an amount of markup that is moral, or are you just going to decide weather or not you will buy the product. (I suspect the latter)
We don't ask retailers what thier markup is, we just buy or don't for whatever reason correct?

Just asking.

Retail, I buy it based on what it's worth to me.


Man to man is different, at least to me. It's a gesture of goodwill to your fellow man to treat each other well. If the seller gets hostile if I ask questions and seems like he is only trying to gouge me, I pass. I admit it's hard to know and hard to quantify, you just hope the seller has roughly the same guage of what is fair as you do.

Not to take anything away from what you're saying, that there are ways to make money by thinking outside the box.
