You took away the opportunity for little Billy the cancer patient who only had a few weeks to live who really wanted to play the PS3. His parents can't afford to pay the high price that the "market" is willing to pay so they have to wait until after christmas to get one from a retail store. Billy died last night. It's alright though, because you made $500 profit and some rich guy got to have another toy to add to his collection.
Just because you can do something doesn't make it right. Sure, nobody got hurt, but Billy never got the opportunity to play with something really cool before he died.
It's not a typical situation but it's a perfect example. <////
This same scenerio could be made about everybody who ever does business with anyone with the attempt to make a profit...... If you don't like scalpers or ebay then move out of this country because that is how our economy works. buy low sell high!
what about house flippers, real estate moguls , stock traders etc.
Should we ban them as well?
Move to communist country if you don't like it the state controls everything and you have no opportunity.
scalpers and ebayers wouldn't have a market if they wasn't anyone buying.
US markeeters at there finest. gotta have it now generation = big profits on small supply items.
