Why don't you return them to give others the chance to buy it for a regular price?

You order with good intentions yes, but you resell the rest on ebay for a higher price.

I see no difference.

I buy 4 to get one in good condition, and I resell the rest on ebay for a higher price.

I buy 4 and I resell them on ebay for a higher price.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with this post.
If I hit somebody's head with a rolled up newspaper because there's a fly there, I'm doing it with good intentions but I'm still hitting their head with a rolled up newspaper.

Saying you do it with good intentions imo is just a quick way to make yourself feel better about making a profit from folk that missed out on preordering because folk ordered stuff to sell later, even under the excuse of wanting to get the best condition.

You mean the ones that couldn't preorder because of folk like you that order more than they need?

If they are from the Netherlands it won't be still a problem for getting it, if they are not it's totally understandable!.

I've used to did this with the Blizzard Collector's Editions untill Cataclym where i got 2 copies(each from a different store) because i wanted that i'm actually getting the CE. To be honest i totally don't give a shit about selling them on Ebay much, way too much effort for me, if i want to earn money i could better do that with statues, those go for extremely much. :p
