Yeah, kind of. I mean, it's not some horrible tragedy, but I do think it's a little parasitic. I could go buy 5 copies of some rare comic and flip them on ebay and make $100 profit on each one, but it's not like I actually did anything to deserve the extra cash from those people. It's just opportunism, where I'm squeezing them for more cash just because I can, cause I know they can't get it anywhere else for cheaper.

I mean, it honestly isn't all that different from scalping. Scalpers know that when the tickets are all sold out they'll be able to jack up the price and turn a profit. It's a different commodity, but it is literally the EXACT same process.
