While Wednesday could easily con the money back, he believes that actually spending money on dwarves was not worth it, and he thought that the old False-Bishop Con was too good for him to pass-up.

** That said it seems likely that this is a case TheNthDoctor like Media and New Media. After all, this version of the Technical Boy seems smoother and more sociable (befitting him drawing his power from communication). Furthermore, neither Wednesday, nor the "modern" version of the Technical Boy acknowledge a prior encounter during their past meetings. The version of Technical Boy shown here probably did fade away like Wednesday predicted, only to be reincarnated due the growing force of technology in the late 20th Century.

It's never said directly but the episode makes it blindingly obvious that she is an old god, with things like how the Technical Boy recruits her, how it's outright stated that she needs belief and worship, and how she OBVIOUSLY knows both Odin and Donar's true nature.
