When to resell an Orchid?

[MateoinLosAngeles]

I've been asking myself this question lately after a disappointing experience with a seller.

When is it fair to resell an orchid?

Should one expect to buy an orchid from the person that has taken care of that Orchid? Or is it ethical to buy an Orchid for $9, and resell it the same week for $18?

How much care should be given to making sure that the Orchid is in good health and developed before making it available to the public, and if the resale happens swiftly, should that be disclosed?

I can understand how one may pay the markup of a local nursery that has gone through the import process. But should an Orchid seller disclose that they've bought an orchid from a grower and are reselling them shortly after with a considerable markup, and what about deceiving information such as disguising a seedling as a mature plant?

Very curious to know your opinions on ethics and expectations here. I will say one thing: buy from sellers you trust!!
