I think a more appropriate title for this type of seller (i.e. those who
sell currently or recently available sets for inflated prices) would be
“Scammer”.

I was lucky enough to be able to buy 9 of these tubs during the TRU sale. If
I sell only 4 of those for $30 each then I have paid for all of them. And if
I can even turn a small profit then that’s great because any extra cash will
probably go towards buying new storage (I just moved across country and sold
all my old storage). I might only sell 2, I haven’t decided.
Anyway, the demand sets the value for all of this stuff in the end so I in no
way feel like “this type of seller”. I’m sure I’m barely even touching the
money that some bricklinkers will make by parting the tubs out (65 tubs!!??).
(wink)
You should really think some more before you just slam a seller as a scammer
or a scalper or what not. Granted it’s your right, but still.

Jon,
Those who know me well know that I realize that there’s an exception to every
rule. Please don’t think I was personally attacking you even though my post
could be interpreted that way. My comments were more directed to those people
that, for example, posted the Maersk Ship on eBay for $200 the day it was
released

I really see it as a mixed set of varying blessings, for while I am by no means disappointed in getting tons of free pieces, some could've certainly been better. (URL) (...)
