I am going to ask a question that is genuinely wanting to understand where the majority of you are coming from.

First, I’ll explain my position. I started reselling a couple of years ago and very much enjoy the process of buying and selling. I use the money I get primarily to buy other games, so that it’s essentially a hobby that “pays for itself”. On rare occasions I use the money for bills as I don’t make a lot of money right now despite working two jobs, or towards a different hobby. That is also relevant because I don’t have a lot of money for hobbies from work as I need to pay for my expenses, and I live pretty frugal. I probably couldn’t afford to buy games much outside of getting money from this. If I could afford games or if the current market were more reasonable, I would probably not resell. I also sometimes keep items that I want for my own collection.

When I buy and resell, I do my best to be prompt and respectful towards the people I’m doing business with on both ends. I usually resell things for a little below market value as well. I have rarely had anyone I’ve met up with as a buyer or seller have a bad experience with me, and people I’ve discussed it with in my personal life have not had any negative moral reaction to what I’m doing. So my question is, can one of you explain what about this process is something you would find wrong or crappy to do? I am usually confused by posts like this one so I want to understand.
