The difficulty of selling a Wii

I think twesterm's point is that in terms of "helping", he's helping someone and unhelping someone else at the same time (the person who would pick up the Wii from the store if cdude didn't). So those factors either cancel out, does cdude think that the person who has access to Ebay has more right to the Wii than the other person, who might not have more than $250 to spend?

Personally, I think that the person who was going to the store but has potentially less money, is the one who should get the console.

 

I don't think cdude ever claimed he was helping anyone.  However, since he is helping, I said he is helping.  He is not unhelping anyone.  For you see, no one has a right to a Wii.  A Wii is not like clean air or something.  It is a luxury good that people may purchase at the market rate.  That market rate may vary, depending on market conditions.

Please people, read a book on economics.  I have a recommendation in my profile.
