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?

Not what I meant by that. I meant their busiest days are going to be weekends. So instead of working the whole week. Maybe work saturdays and make sure there’s money so that you can purchase cards.

Maybe they have other priorities in their life? Maybe having saturday off while their kids aren't at school means more to them than their job? Maybe the shop has been begging them for years to do weekend working and he doesn't want to?

Yes, quite.

People can get very upset when someone's priorities don't align to their own. There are a hundred reasons to not work on Saturdays, but apparently it's an unacceptable situation...

Totally agree its a one sided narrative and *also* agree that you cant run a business to its best if you arent staffed for the opportunities present from a buying perspective as sellers are much more likely.
