I don't buy into finding brevity in speech or writing to be superior in all cases, in fact it is oversold in the interest of "selling" things and opinions - but I do find it hard to follow the relevance of everything you put in this post - like what does the restructuring of the "woman" sentence have to do with the topic really?
I think the conduct of bargain hunting is just natural and acceptable - though perhaps if you knew someone was hurting for money and selling something for much below it's value then it might be nice to just tell them so. I actually did this recently once though I can say it was a case where I was not interested in owning the item. In that vein this distinguishes between someone buying to resell and someone buying for personal use. I think in most auctions you can see how the "resellers" might participate but drop out if the bids go above a price that allows for resale profit
Buying and hoarding is certainly a common addiction. I think you can see people on Craigslist who fall into this most likely as they end up offering a ton of items for sale there and one wonders how they ended up with it all. I think many audiophiles are ill suited to engage in buying and selling used items solely to make money since they have a natural tendency to value it more than it is probably worth, and generally the resale of used things isnt a big profit area except if sellers of such items are desperate or uninformed as to values which is more and more rare these days
Did I get the thrust of your statement or no?
