This in itself is not a ~bad~ thing. There is a moral relativism at play
here, some think someone who is going to use the equipment has more right to
a good deal than someone who is going to resell it, or worse, put it in a
display case as part of a collection. Others think that it shouldn't make a
difference what the intent of the buyer is.
Until there is a law making it illegal for someone to browse auction sites
with the intention of playing it like the stock market, what JCO is doing is
a legitimate business.
No one has the right to denigrate him for doing no wrong.
