I don't agree.

To me there is a fine, but pretty distinct, line between

"If you have to have this RIGHT NOW, I'll hook you up, but you're gonna
pay. It will be easily available later. Maybe you should wait."

and

"Star Wars is rare, it's going to stay rare, act now."

The first is true. The second is fraudulent. More power to the first
one, more flaming oil to the second. You can't stop people from acting
foolishly, but you can put a surgeon general's warning on the package.

(...) I don't feel the need to hide my opinions in e-mail, so I'll just move this over to .debate. How is this different from others selling or auctioning their items? It just is. If I were to find a cache of Metroliners at a local store for $100 (...) (26 years ago, 18-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
