I don't think any ethical boundaries are crossed by reselling a card an hour after it's purchased, but I will say that the person who does so certainly needs a refresher course in Marketing 101. The best objects in the antique world are the ones that are fresh to the market, and the worst are the ones that are recycled again and again. So at the very least if I were buying purely for resale I would try to sock an item away for a few months, at least long enough so that prospective buyers might actually forget where it came from. Could there be a more stupid way to market a card than to buy it from a major auction house on Monday, and then put it up for sale on Tuesday for double that price? It's absolutely the worst possible way to do business. For starters, you will be mocked on this board. That's bad enough.
