We don't know what conversation the buyer and seller had. Maybe the seller was happy to get his price and didn't care who bought it and that was the end of it. But if the buyer implied that he really loved the truck and had always wanted one like that and was going to do a total restoration of it (or make it his daily driver), all the while thinking about nothing except what a steal it was and how he was going to flip it for a quick profit, then I reserve the right to call the buyer (now the seller) a sleazybag. There are people who do that with real estate all the time as well. I understand the "willing buyer and willing seller" bit and that a capitalist can't be sentimental and there's nothing wrong with making lots of money, but I'm still willing to pass judgment on people who use devious means to make that money.
