@ twesterm...he ain't a douché, he's making profit in a legal way...

I never said he's doing something illegal, I just said he's a douchebag. People are absolutely right when they say he can do this but it still doesn't change the fact he's profiting off of other peoples misfortune.

Misfortune? The "misfortune" of not being able to find a Wii?

It's not like I'm price gouging after a hurricane. These people here can choose to buy from me.

If people like you didn't buy things like Wii's specifically to resell them people that actually want them would not have to payan extra $100 in finding one. Yes, Dick (and I'm only calling you that there because I'm just assuming you're name is Richard. Why? for grins and giggles), you are in fact trying to profit off their misfortune.

Parents know that little Jimmy has his heart set on a Wii for his birthday, Christmas, Tuesday, whatever, and you Dick buy the Wii so they cannot buy it except from you. So now the parent must scour Ebay and the likes so they can by from Dick here and spend an extra $100 (which is a lot of money) of their hard earned money so Dick can further fuel his greed and think he's doing the world a service.

I know you Dick keep hiding behind your little they can choose to buy from me defense but the thing is when there isn't anyone else to buy from because the other Dick's of the world are forcing them to make the same choice. You Dick are buying up the supplies and selling them at a higher price. True, it's no hurricane but that still doesn't make it any more right.

 Well, little Jimmy's parents should have started looking earlier.

Keep hiding behind it? I used it once.

The bottom line is that if they really want  one at retail, they can wait in line a Best Buy at 6 in the morning and pray they get some in.

If they really want one at retail they can stalk UPS trucks all day.

Or, they can pay for the convenience of getting one right here and now. No one is forcing anyones hand. If they don't buy from me, they will buy from someone else.
