How many sellers would tell a buyer they are paying too much? Anyhow, it really is an ethical question. If I knew the seller was in dire need for the money, then I wouldn't buy it and tell him the true worth of his item.
But under normal circumstances my decision would be as this: I came to the opportunity of buying the game cheap as I had the knowledge of its worth and I take it as granted that the same knowledge could have been available to the seller as well. The vice versa also applies to the buyer in case he feels he paid too much.
