A man is approached by a second man on the street who offers him a “deal of a lifetime” on stereo equipment. He guides him to the back of a van where for $200 he sells him stereo equipment that normally retails for $2,000. The goods were stolen but the seller never asked and the buyer never told.

Yes, he should have reasonably known that the goods were stolen.
Yes, goods worth more than $1,000 must be purchased in a licensed store.
