> what about Bill Gates that wants one right now, shouldn't he be allowed to call up Valve and say "1 mill, I want to get my hands on this thing today!".
I'm of the opinion that this should be allowed - when it's a direct interaction between the purchaser and seller.
Any purchaser has the right to contact any seller and say I'll give you N*$ORIGINAL_PRICE to try to purchase something out of line. I'll agree that there's nothing wrong with reselling something you purchased, at whatever price you can - as long as it wasn't purchased specifically for that purpose, and _especially_ as long as automation wasn't involved.
