No issue at all. Though I would love to hear the rationale of paying $2k for a card in a major auction like REA and the. Offering it for sale for $3200 a week later on a board where 99 percent of the members likely saw it in the auction. Does it bother me? No. Am I curious if it works? You betcha.

Idiotic
I hope every card I ever sell gets resold for more money than i sold it for. Why? Because those people will buy more cards. Just curious why you find it ok to sell i presume at a profit but its not ok for other people to do it? Or do you just have a problem with them trying to sell it immediately, and if that is the issue how long does one have to hold something before you think they should be allowed to sell it. PS I am a sometimes flipper feel free to block me, plenty of other places to buy from.

I will go as far as saying if I sell you something on the BST and you can sell it for more before I ship it to you, I will ship it to your buyer instead. I could care less, unless you tell a lie to get a better price (as Peter mentioned) .....

I've found the opposite. Most are looking to sell over market.
However, if people don't want headaches and fees of ebay etc, a deal can be had. Everyday there are thousands of people convinced a card"s value is going to go down, selling to thousands of people swearing the values are going up.

Unless you actually created the item, every card you ever sell is a flip. You had to have bought it or traded for it at some point in the past.

I can certainly understand the sentiment behind the OP's post. A couple years ago, I kept losing ebay auctions to professional eBay flipper, Mike Denero. It was frustrating as hell, but then I realized the problem was me: I was bidding for a "deal." So I changed my strategy. Now, if there's a card I really want, I bid so aggressively that I either win it or lose it to another collector, as the hammer price will make it very difficult to flip quickly or profitably. And if the latter happens, then so be it. There are tons of guys trying to make money with baseball cards. Personally, I've found better ways to invest my time and money, but as a full-fledged capitalist, I can't find issue with the practice.
