I don't understand why a distributor would sell a sold out game to a known flipper. Doesn't that just generate ill will with others in the hobby and prevent someone who really wants the game from getting it? I can understand someone who wants to buy a sold out game, play it for a while and then eventually sell it at break even or even for a profit when the new thing on the block comes out, but to just steal someone's spot in line and never even take delivery of a game, leeching money off of others in a small hobby without adding any value just seems douchey to me.
