A question of morals.

You attend a garage sale in your neighbourhood. Looking around on the various tables at the items for sale you see a beautiful necklace priced at $1.

You immediately recognise it as a very valuable antique. You know you can sell it to a dealer for at least $500 if not more.

What do you do?

Do you buy it for $1 and re-sell it to an antique dealer or at an auction and make some much needed money for your family, especially in these difficult economic times when every penny counts?

Or do you tell the sellers the true value of the item?

You think for a while. Isn't this what antique dealings all about? You search for cheap items and using your knowledge sell them at a higher price elsewhere?

What would an antique dealer do if he were at this garage sale?

What would Jesus do?

What would YOU do?
