Another meaning of "(to) cherry pick" is the act of buying something at a price that is significantly lower than its true value, usually because the seller is not aware of the proper value of the item. A classic example is finding something unusual or valuable at a flea market or yard sale, or searching through the stock of a rare coin dealer or rare stamp dealer.
