If you get a REALLY good deal on something on ebay, is it wrong to just turn around and resell it?

If you bought a stock when it was low, is it wrong to sell when the price is high?

Why even ask such a question?

I'm turning you over to Senator McCarthy.

I don't think there's much of a market for used FleshLights aphex.

If this was an item you wanted, how are you going to come out ahead after you sell it and buy another one?

Nothing wrong with reselling it for a profit, but calling it "capitalism at its finest" is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think Mr. Carnegie?

Is it wrong to buy something from a store, with full intentions to use it once, and return it (providing you find out all return rules/info BEFORE you buy it :p)?

you'd make a crappy lawyer if you have a moral dilemma with making money at someone else's expense

I've bought items off eBay, used them for a year or more, and then resold them on eBay for a profit.

So, no.
