You are in your late twenties, with two kids and have a family income of $80,000. In my hypothetical example Exactly two boxes of $25 Golden Goose chips were made. You found both boxes in an abandoned building. You now own the complete edition.

You are aware that a one of a kind $5 Golden Goose chip sold for $75,000. It would be a fair assumption to assume the same collector might pay $75,000 for a one of a kind $25 Golden Goose.

Remember, you are far from rich. You don’t know how you will pay for your kids education.

What to do?

1 - destroy 199 chips and sell the last chip for $75000. The buyer will be happy knowing he has the only known chip (only chip that can ever be). You will be happy, being able to make a big dent in tuition payments. Everyone else will feel the same as they feel about the $5 Golden Goose - wish I had it but too much for me.

Or,

2- tell everyone one of the discovery and sell each chip for $150 (probably less) and still have 100 chips at the end of the day unsold.

Just a hypothetical

By the way, if one $25 Golden Goose was put on eBay starting at 99¢, what would be an ethical offer? If you offered $20,000 would that be ethical. After all you will make a quick $55,000 profit and he sellers kids education is not paid. Based on the Dunes example, the ethical offer would be at least $74,000 so that you would only realize a $1,000 profit.

As you can see, it’s a complicated issue. Better not to say anything in such situations.
