Because people who actually wanted to go end up having to spend twice the face value just to get there. In this economy, that's fucking people over. You're not even providing the service, you are simply trading off the value and forcing someone else to absorb the price difference. Of course, it's pretty lucrative. There's plenty of people who want to go to BC, but that doesn't morally justify buying tickets to scalp them.

If I had the money i would have bought more tickets to scalp than he did. But alas I have no money so I could not.
As an aside I'm rather surprised ebay let you get away with that. I thought ebay was changed so that tickets couldn't be sold on there anymore?
Clever girl...

I didn't explicitly buy 4 tickets to sell the other 3 and make profits. I was excited that I was able to sell them at all. I purchased then for Outtake, Chobin, and another old guild member.
We wanted to be on vent and coordinate it so that only one of us bought tickets and we bought them from each other. However, no one except me got on vent and thus i bought 4 as a safety valve, and the others managed to get them as well.
I certainly don't feel bad making some money off of it but that wasn't my original intent.

What day/time are you arriving in Anaheim? I should be in town around 2pm to get my swag bag and ticket. I'll be meeting up with Outtake, Chobin, and a couple other people from my old guild.
What hotel are you planning on staying in? I booked the Clarion (across from convention center)...
