<p>How is this "morally bankrupt"? It's just smart. Every business on earth would do this in there sector if they had the chance.<p>What's wrong with a smart and clever individual buying this to resell at 8x? It's not hurting anyone, it's just a stupid retro console.<p>What's wrong with society? People are struggling and getting screwed over by governments and big business, they badly need income and here is a small opportunity to get a piece of that pie.<p>Ultimately someone that wants the product who is happy to pay the price that it is sold for, because they deem it worth that price, ends up with the product in there life. And someone else manages to profit to, to gain some much needed income so they can purchase something they want in there life.<p>Hardly morally bankrupt. There is no change in the outcome here. There are still the same amount of people with these consoles, enjoying them as before. Nobody is hurt.<p>In fact you could argue that someone doing this is a net gain, because two people gain instead of one. Someone made a profit that wouldn't otherwise and someone got the console they wanted (and obviously didn't care about the price)</p>

<p>This article is complete nonsense.<p>I expect Amazon to recommend me products that it itself is selling or it itself has in its own warehouse, the sellers are secondary, if I wanted to buy from another seller I would use eBay.<p>The fact that there is even an option to then price compare with other sellers and purchase direct from the seller while on the Amazon website is a pretty cool bonus, not Amazon trying to scam me.<p>It's not a price comparison site searching for the best price and giving it to me (if I wanted that I would use a price comparison website) and it's not eBay or a marketplace, it's Amazon, a direct retailer with an added bonus of allowing you to search a separate marketplace but it's main business is selling directly!<p>The marketplace is mainly clever marketing by Amazon, people use Amazon because they don't need to look else where because it has everything, since even direct order companies sell on there, hence once some people discover this they just use Amazon for everything (I know lots of people that do this)</p>

<p>Who cares? Why go through all that effort just to move your data out of the US, if they really wanted to read that they would, but they most likely would not care.<p>Silly over reaction. Your going to use a service that is not as good, waste a bunch of on importing/exporting for reasons that would have made no difference to your life.<p>So your actively choosing to downgrade your life to spite someone else. Smart move.</p>

<p>Yep had two and both broke within two months! Moved to a Fitbit which I lost as the clasp isn't very secure. Then gave up on fitness trackers!</p>

<p>Cars is not a bad movie, it did very well, it was just a little below normal Pixar quality but still above most other studios work.<p>The good dinosaur, Brave and Monsters university all still good but not quite Pixar.<p>Cars two is an absolute disaster though and it's a shame it wasn't covered in the book. Something clearly went very wrong with this movie and they redid most of it in ten weeks or so I read, it seems to go against all the values and things they talk about and it does feel as if the story they tell about themselves is perhaps worked as much as the stories they make.</p>

<p>I think this is extremely important. We all want answers and want to know how to do something and the Internet puts that information at our finger tips, the problem is that it's 99% outright bad advice.<p>Watching some talks from Elon Musk lately trying to find "the secret" and it's amazing how little secrets they seem to be from people that aren't trying to sell you some kinda info product or brand in the long run.</p>

<p>Absolutely, always find the outliners and see how they did it.</p>

<p>Not really true. It's just a pattern. If you want it to be different then make it happen and be an outliner. The truth is these people just get stuck and accept. If this article applies to you and depresses you, then choose to be one of those people that is different.</p>
