Let's put it this way. If I was standing in line patiently to get my kid
a 
Tickle Me Nintendo at the local Toys 'R' Scarce, and the guy in front of
me got the last one solely for the purpose of selling it at a 900%
profit,
I'd care a lot. And I think the people who are protesting simply have
more
sympathy for the not-so-hypothetical parent than for the profiteer.
Sure, it's
legal, but legal and likeable are often on different ends of the scale.

other than
intended, but so is the guy who posted the "FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK" post
that
started this thread, so there's no moral high ground there.]
