It is perfectly ethical, nice etc.  No one is being taken advantage of,
unfairly or any other way.  It is one of the best ways to determine a 
fair price.  Having a fair price is in everyones best interest.  If the
price hadn't been artificially low for so long maybe we would now have the
capacity to supply the demand and there would not be such a shortage.

The Net isn't the right place to carry out these commercial activities
however.
