That may be true but it doesn't make the guy we are referring to here any
less a jerk.

I don't consider my mindset "fairly narrow" nor do I think buying and
selling on E-Bay is a bad thing.  But in this instance, depriving other
folks of the chance to benefit from a sale on items in a toy store
(educational software targeted for children) just rubbed me the wrong way.
Say what you will about the buyer's right to seize an opportunity to profit.
I consider this an ethics issue.  Now since this is a blacksmiths list, I
will refrain from further comment on  the matter.
