Except no one person has cornered the empeg market so your example doesn't really apply. A better example would be if there was 4000 gallons of gasoline left in the whole world and the oil companies decided to have a fire sale and sell out at 10 cents a gallon. A few days later there are people selling 1 gallon packs at auction for *whatever people are willing to pay*. Is it fair? Is it wrong?

I think it was probably *more* wrong that they were fire-saled. By who cares at this point? I'd say it's ok to shake your head disapprovingly, e.g. radio tuner has a reserve price of a $399. etc.
