    In the sloppy colloquialism that is imprecise day-to-day language, the fact that a merchant makes a profit selling someone else's product is a rip-off. But that is being blind to the fact that pricing is flexible and it more than just cost (materials + labor).

    The fact that RMT does impact the market is no justification for price controls. It is irrelevant to this discussion. People that use RMT are not going blow even $1USD on useless items, even if they have more money than brains, they are not that stupid. They value their money more than anyone else actually. Many people put stuff out there for ridiculous prices because it is extra storage, and if it really sells for the ridiculous amount more power to them.
