Quoted from Knapp_Arcade: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.
I am not defending the guy, as my opinion of him is probably the same as yours. But with that said, if there weren't buyers willing to pay for the flip then there would be no flipping. I don't blame a soul for trying to make a buck in this world....if you want to blame anyone, then blame the buyer. Pinball is not like insulin, you won't die without it.
Not trying to start the whole "is flipping unethical" argument, but we are all trying to make a buck in the world.
