I think it all depends on how you look at it.
I usually preorder 2-3 copies of each CE/LE from different retailers to avoid getting nothing because of cancellation. If none of them is cancelled, I usually offer my extra copies to my friends from this forum. If no one wants them, I’ll sell them on eBay. If I cancel them, other scalpers might get them and sell them on eBay, why let them make the money but not myself?
I think many people are doing this, but I won’t call myself a scalper. I don’t like people who order 20 copies of something and then sell them for twice as much. But to be honest I think they earned it because they spend their time on studying and following the news, if you truly like something, you should be following most stuff about it.
