A good example of why people look down on people who do this would be the scalping industry which buys tickets for concerts, events, etc from ticketmaster using tools that the general public may not have and buy up many of the tickets before those who want to attend that event are able to or by creating a false demand. They then mark up the tickets many times over face value to make a quick buck. It's a pox on society here in the US and not looked up to at all because of those who have taken advantage of those by parting them with more of their money then the venue decided the tickets should have cost. Then those who go and buy the scalped tickets will either have to pay that price or just do without and hope that the prices come down significantly.
