I'm pretty sure I don't like being Sold. I generally have a pretty good idea of what I do or don't want, and (to the extent that I recognize it), I dislike being manipulated.
You might be right about people in general, but it seems like a hard thing to check on whether people like being Sold as distinct from whether it's possible to Sell them.
I expect to be Sold, because I understand that That's Business, but it bothers me when we're talking about a major purchase, because I'm scared of accidentally parting with a dangerous amount of my money. I'm not sure salesmanship for big purchases is immoral, but it's at least dangerous -- a successful car salesman can destroy your life.
