I cant understand stupid but I’m trying

That’s exactly the mentality that is problematic here–“as long as the information is displayed SOMEWHERE, it doesn’t matter what was advertised initially.” It’s scummy. All you’re saying here is that you’re ok with scummy dishonesty that takes advantage of people who are not as careful as we are.
Idiot tax is good yes
That “somewhere” is text over twice as large as the shop name text. Yet somehow you can read the shop name and not the repair price? And i mean literally twice as large lol not figuratively.
None of this takes away from the fact that the seller is lying in their initial callout for attention. There are obviously people who trust the initial message and don’t think to look at that number–KNOWING that people will do this, you are willfully acknowledging that you are taking advantage of people, because you KNOW there will be someone who trusts your message and will not be careful enough to check the price.
That is scummy and dishonest.
People should not be punished for being trusting; people should be punished for being dishonest. <–the best way to sum up our differences in opinion.
So punish the clever and reward the stupid? is another way to say the same thing.
Promoting stupidity, this is why society’s average intelligence is on the decline on north america, we baby people too much.
Intelligence is far too broad a concept to measure. Though if you’re talking strictly about test scores and the like, I’d argue that’s more related to the fact that our money goes disproportionally into wars rather than education.
Obviously our education system is failing when people label dishonesty as cleverness. 
I hope you don’t have kids. This world isn’t hearts and rainbows. You live in the US, you should know better. Capitalism for the win.
Right how could i forget that the Untied States is CLEARLY the only country in North America.
Anyway im talking about common sense and average every day intellect not test scores. Even now they have done studies to prove that all those padded play grounds are making the new generations more reckless because they don’t get hurt for falling and running into things. Everything being pillow padded is making people dumber because they don’t have to think. (You should look up some of these studies interesting read)
Believe it or not, I’m not for padded playgrounds either. I understand the importance of experiencing a few bumps, cuts, and bruises during the growing and learning process, and I definitely would agree that there are many examples in which I believe something is over-regulated for the sake of “safety”. For example, I am not a particular fan of the extreme censoring and political correctness that has been growing rapidly in the States. I happen to believe it is excessive, unnecessary, and overly cautious.
That said, I do believe there are situations in which some regulation is needed. In fact (and you can correct me if I’m mistaken here) I don’t believe I’ve even stated that the OP didn’t deserve what they got if they weren’t paying attention. I agree with you that this person did indeed mess up, it was their own fault, and they learned a lesson this way. However, that does not make being a con-artist OK, and I believe the shop owner should be punished for deceiving the less careful players in our community.
I can make the argument that the shop owner is innocent and added an extra 0 at the end of his shop price by mistake. Now what?

Okay but con artists never tells you the truth, you only find out after they have bolted with your money. The repair shop tells you the truth once you open it, they be like “Hey im going take all your money now that okay?” .
If you tell them sure thats on you.
You sound like a Socialist SJW?
Well, first: while intention is an important part of the conversation, it does not excuse an outcome. If you make a joke to a friend of yours, and it offends them, it may not have been your intention, but you now own the outcome of your actions. If you hit someone while driving because you were checking your phone, you may not have done it on purpose, but that does not change the fact that you hit someone with your car.
Second: there are plenty of reasons to believe this is not a mistake. For instance: players would never reasonably operates at a loss–the title appears to be designed to attract attention with the significance of its low-cost. The odds of a player attempting to take advantage of others over the odds of a player operating a loss? Clearly this thread alone indicates the odds are in the con-artists favor.
@RoastedPeanuts Whoa…I’ve never been described as a warrior before. 
The problem is: That’s the name of the shop, not a pricetag, the price tag is inside, after you choose the service.
I can name my hotdog shop as “One Dollar”, that doens’t mean I’m selling hot dogs for one dollar 
The name is just to call attention, and it looks like it was successful 
It is against Terms of Service, so technically IMC can do something about it as it’s deception.
Whether or not they do is another matter.
When you play as an Appraiser, you have a limit of around 1-1000 silver charge when appraising items.
Why that is not valid for Squire?
