Those first two sentances of mine were meant that way Scott. Thanks for noticing my quirky sense of sarcasm.
To clarify: I have no problem with people selling stuff they have, for whatever price they can get. More power to them.
Where I think it becomes dirty is when they buy large quantities of limited items and then resale then for profit.
I guess I have always had this idea of ebay as: Hey, I wound up with (#x) of these and only need (#x) so I will sell the others. Or someone gave me or I found these and dont want/need them. NOT, I know people will want these and they will become harder to find, so I will buy as many as I can before they can get them and then sell them to them for more than they would have paid before.
I love analogies:
You send your child to school with $5 for lunch. But before your kid can get in line, some other kid has bought all the remaining lunches. He now wants to sell them for $6.50. I can only imagine the line of parents outside the principals office.
On the contrary, if some kid isnt gonna eat his dessert and sells it to another kid for $.50, well more power to him. Or if that kid was accidentally given 2 hamburgers instead of 1, well, sell away my friend.
As far as Eisner, I think his problem is he overstayed his usefullness. Nobody can deny the good he has done for Disney, but he let power go to his head and it screwed up his priorities and logic, hence the company suffers greatly now because of him. IMHO
