You might be following this procedure for items such as bags of flour, but you should've pointed out the ethical issues in your blog entry, because the ethically-challenged people are going to read that bit and proceed to make life difficult for other consumers.

What I do, is buy up things at a large discount, and then sell them BELOW face value. In my situation, the items I sell aren't limited in quantity; people can buy it from other locations. That is why I have to compete solely on offering a lower price. The reason I say buy them all has to do with economies of scale. It takes the same amount of time to list a product for sale whether you’re selling one or 20. Since time is money, listing 20 is more profitable than listing just 1 or 2.
