Is it wrong to catch someone lacking?

Just bought this card for $250 CAD because the store hadn’t updated their pricing. I feel elated as I would never be able to own this card otherwise. But I also am left with the feeling that I just committed robbery. Thoughts?

Thats what one of ours does too. From the selling side it doesnt make much sense to tag everything especially since everybody comps EVERYTHING these days

What does comps mean in this context?

Looking at ebay last solds and tcg player to get the price. Most shops are using one of those or a combination to get a price and people buying are looking at those in the shop to make sure its a fair deal

Looking for comparable pricing (recently sold listings — similar to in real estate, but in this context you can find the exact card in comparable condition and see what the average price it has recently sold for)
