let me translate what you just said:

"Persuaded some muppet": she gained her mark's confidence.

"to sell her a Korg Triton for 80GBP": she ripped her mark off.

"and got 580GBP on ebay for it": and then she profited from the rip-off.

in some circles, that is referred to as grifting.

It was knocked down from 120 from someone who hadn't done their pricing research so it's fair game :)

Taking from idiots is an evolutionary step. Look at VC funding!

Ignorance =/= idiocy.

No but idiocy is directly proportional to ignorance.
