Wait a minute here. There seems to be a double standard where some members of a NAGB have profited greatly by inflating the prices of the boat and BTP sets with no one saying a damn thing while this guy gets beat up? What the F???
At the risk of being derided, I’ll explain again what the common take is. They’re his property, he can sell for whatever he wants.
Now if you’re asking why the hostility or push back, it’s because there is no value add. People spend time, large amounts of upfront cash, have the connections, and ability to get a
NAGB through. While someone may not agree with the resale for large profits, they in fact were able to create something that the community otherwise has absolutely 0 access to. You can debate how much, but there is value in there.
Example B is a community member, who bought chips from a large community sale, intended of course to make some money, but also get chips to those who want them at a super affordable price. In this case, the user even posted want ads, asking other members of the community to help him out. To scoop these up, and then attempt to flip for maximum profit on
eBay (1) takes chips out of the community, (2) discourages vendors from offering awesome deals (they’re not here to make US money), (3) makes users more wary when helping out Chips Wanted posts, etc.
Should people respond negatively to his post? According to site rules no. But should people be so wildly confused as to the response and ask the same question as to why over and over? Probably not.
