I believe BK and Kokomo are selling right now for example, both with the stated goals of raising some funds. If you bought low from them, and resold to another TCer, that would be damn shitty in my book. If the person isn't part of TC, maybe someone who doesn't know what they've got ("Indian/Eskimo angry head vase! Funny!"), then I'm not sure I see the dilemma of buying it, and maybe trying to get more through a post or relisting on ebay. I mean, ultimately, you've purchased the item- it's really up to you to do with it as you please.
