So? He's not required to tell you what he bought it for. It's still a
bargain, it's a better price that you would have received by going to
Random Store A and buying one off the shelf. Do stores tell you what they
bought their items for? Are you pissed off that they don't? Do you call
them scam artists?

So to sum up: 

If buying low, Selling high is a scam every successful businessman in
America is a scam artist.

So he's making some cash on the side, big deal. Don't begrudge him his
profit. Consider it compensation for his going to the trouble to go to
CompUSA bright and early Sunday morning to get the special.
