Companies getting into scalping, gross.
To think that $599 for a PS3 was once considered outrageous and unacceptable, now we have used consoles selling for more than twice that.

Its not really scalping if they acquired it through a standard trade in, is it? The ethical concern is when somebody is purchasing items in bulk to create scarcity in order to sell it for an inflated price. 

As a retailer they do purchase in bulk, and are taking advantage of shortages to price gouge.
