On a side note, for those saying his reasons sound like excuses... Is there anything that anyone selling a spot can say that won't "sound like an excuse"? I mean, pretty much any reason that a person might have for selling their spot, someone is going to chime in and call bullshit and say its an excuse.

Like others have said, there were plenty of machines to go around this time and anyone that wanted to get one on day one, had the opportunity. So in this case, I really don't see any problem with him selling his spot for a few dollars over. This isn't a case where there were only 100 of something and thousands were trying to land one so not sure what the big deal is with this sale. There will be plenty more, I'm sure...
