I never could understand why people think it's ok to buy something at retail like that, just to sell.

If they wanted to be a dealer, open a store, get a wholesale account. Maybe you could actually make money.

Creating an artificial market like this is so annoying.

you dont understand why someone would buy at one price and then sell at a higher price?


From Wikipedia.
A Market economy is an economy in which decisions regarding investment, production and distribution are based on supply and demand,[1] and prices of goods and services are determined in a free price system.[2] The major defining characteristic of a market economy is that decisions on investment and the allocation of producer goods are mainly made through markets.[3] This is contrasted with a planned economy, where investment and production decisions are embodied in a plan of production.

If they are buying it at retail, marking it up and making a profit maybe they are making money, eh? It's kinda like hookers, if people would quit paying the good looking ones their asking price then maybe they wouldn't ask so much. Ima thinking if the johns would just dicker a little with her she'd be quicker to charge a little less.

Yeah, I understand wanting to make money, that's not my problem.

Last time I checked, Wal-Mart wasn't considered a wholesaler at their retail stores. They are a retail location that sells to end-users. I know there's no law against it, but it still irritates me that people buy up all of a retail product just to resell, many times creating an artificially high priced market.

^^^^^ True blue Obama supporter right here. Just wants to give everyone a "shot". Whiny cry babies are ruining the country. Next you'll only be allowed to make money if you get approval from the Committee for Fairness.

Im willing to give the benefit of the doubt at first yukon. Some people let their emotions cloud their judgment at first, and then come around when they take the time to analyze the situation.
