What is wrong with trying to make a bit of quick cash?  If you got the
chance to buy a car you didn't really want for 25% of what it was worth,
is it then wrong to go sell it for 75% of what is is worth, thereby
making a 200% profit on the deal?  I think not.  It is the essence
of capitalism - buy low, sell high.
