As long as no one is being forced to buy something then the price asked can always be turned down. Your gas station example is not a good one as you imply that they have to buy from the last guy. Your hay deal was not that way. There was other hay in the area for you to buy. You had a choice of sellers to chose from.
AN example of what I think would be wrong is charging too much for food if there was a shortage OR water during a drought. Those would be moral decisions.
You post on here all of the time complaining about people that try to get you down on the price you are asking for things. Here you where bad mouthing him for his high asking price on HIS hay. Then you made a deal with the guy AFTER questioning his morality for asking a higher price. I wonder if he would have made that deal if he knew what you where suggesting on this site????
IF it is life threating then over charging is a immoral thing to do. IF it just because it is rare than it is not. I have some old antique cars that are worth a lot of money. One of them is one of less than two hundred ever built. Should I sell it to the next person who comes along that needs a car for $500??? Just to be what?? My fellow mans keeper?? The local sucker??
My point is that just because a person is asking a higher price than the rest of the market does not make that person immoral. The buyers have the right to always walk away or offerer a lower price.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
