At the end of the day if you didn't win something it's because somebody else was willing to pay more for it. Nobody is entitled to purchase razors for cheap just because they want to, or because they don't have the means to pay true market prices.
I tried to allude to this in my previous post, but why is a razor selling for more than you expect it to sell screwing the buyers, when a razor selling for less than you expect isn't screwing the seller? Why do buyers have to buy razors for cheap, but the sellers shouldn't sell their razors expensive?
I've seen enough people complaining about attention being drawn to ebay auctions only to, when they win a cheap razor, to turn around and sell it on the classifieds, or their website, for what they find to be an 'exorbitant price' on ebay.
I don't have any problem with prices or profits, I have problem with the hypocrisy. If you can get something 'flying under the radar' congratulations and good for you, but this demanding other people keeping quiet just so that things stay 'under the radar' for you to buy under market prices this strikes me as just wrong.
