ElliotSo, if other people act sleazy on eBay, that gives everybody the right to act sleazy. Not that I actually don't see the argument in favor of that, just not something I could do.
Regarding the selling at a profit. Clearly you need to sell at a profit "overall" otherwise why be in business. However, trying to make a profit on each and every item, only ensures that you sell all the items that are "hot" and going up in price and keep all the items that are going down. Basically, you just have to make sure that you are selling at market or better, and selling what you want to sell, given your view on the product.
