I'm lost here. How do you know that the owner walked in and was shocked/upset? Did you run into them? If I was on my way out and ran into the person and they said "wait- that wasn't for sale." I couldn't just continue on my merry way. I'd feel bad. If I heard about it later on after the fact, not sure. But that's just me.

There is a difference between illegal and unethical.
Although if you did in fact offer to return it and the owner stormed off, that would seem to absolve you of anything further.

Are you sure it was the owner. Maybe it was some guy who wanted to buy it and they just kept telling him "no, it's not for sale."
Why would a store be upset over a sale?

It's like garage sales. You don't feel bad you say what a great buy.

I wouldn't feel bad at all. All you did was ask about it. The clerk is the one that came up with the price. If it wasn't supposed to be for sale, it should have had a note on it, or the clerk should have been informed ahead of time.

i went in there a few weeks ago and asked about some masters of the un iverse magazines that i saw by the register in a box. he had to call the owner about those so he conceivably could have called about the moray just the same. no harm no foul

Ah, Coast City Comics. I just sold them a bunch of TFs, SW vehicles, superheroes, and Joe stuff. I keep hoping they'll get some more vintage Joe stuff in, like a MOBAT or a Persuader. As to the OP's "problem", if the owner didn't want it sold, he should've marked it as such. Given that i'm pretty sure they lowball what they pay out on things, I don't feel too bad. I don't know if I would've returned it myself.
