When is it not ok to turn a profit in selling a pinball machine that is valuable? If you could sell a game for a large profit would you do it?
Definition:
Price gouging is a pejorative term referring to when a seller spikes the prices of goods, services or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair, and is considered exploitative, potentially to an unethical extent.
Quoted from egyptrus:Based on some of the replies, I feel like we're missing part of the story. Did something happen, particularly related to the OP, that was the cause for this thread?
No Just see a lot of people going ape s**t when they see a game go for more then its MSRP. I saw this first with Houdini. Used Houdini was selling for more then new MSRP. Now Iron Maiden. Last time I got screwed was buying my little Girl a Hatchimal. If you are a parent you will know what I'm talking about. This happens everywhere new iPhones are selling for 3 times more then MSRP when they are first released and sold out. Just see it is a hot topic right now and wanted to have a way people can voice there opinion on the subject.
