Let's put this more in context. At least one person on this site has admitted to buying a limited edition CD, which quickly sold out. Several longtime members have stated they missed out on the CD, for various reasons. This means, at least one of those longtime fans could have gotten the limited CD at the asking price, but missed out because someone wanted to make a few bucks.
I personally consider this poor form. I also see it as someone investing a small amount of money to profit from the artist's hard work.
But the artist got his money - all copies that were offered up for sale were sold. And maybe the reseller doesn't visit this board so he's not aware/concerned of the plight of any long-term members here?
I'll have to agree that it's pretty poor form for a member here to post here "crowing" about flipping a Bill Nelson cd when there's members agonizing over missing out. As a matter of fact, in some parts of the old south here in America that I used to live in, like Alabama, that might actually be a "hanging offence". Heck, I say let's get a rope and discuss it later!

No disrespect to you, but I honestly feel the seller of these limited edition cd's does want to make big bucks out the those like myself who have missed out. The only problem is I ain't paying over the top prices. In fact, I think I will take the advice of a clever and smart guy called Bill Nelson and not to buy from these sellers. Though I prefer 'physical' product, I will download from Bandcamp and that way enjoy Bill's Sparkle Machine etc when it becomes available.
