Its the laws of supply and demand, in this case demand is high and supply low, so price goes up. Theres nothing wrong in this.
Nintendo is happy to have sold one.
The retailer is happy to have sold one.
The original seller is happy to have made money
The buyer is happy to have a Nintendo.

It isn't, and shouldn't be illegal. However, I think it lousy that people would buy 5 or 6 of them for the sole purpose to sell them at an inflated price, to people who really want one, but couldn't for one reason or another get to one fast enough. If you are really wanting a Wii, my advice would be to call every electronics store in a 20 mile radius EVERYDAY. It took me a week of calling many stores daily until I got one without much hassle on Dec. 1st. Good luck.

Of course not but the main reason is that some people agree to such acts hence, these sellers get a chance to make 100% profit
the least we can do is not to buy such high priced things even if we are at the height of desperation.

Of course there's nothing wrong with it. its simple market forces, supply and demand.
nobody cares that dixons or comet are selling for double what they pay, or that they sell the games for about 4 times what they pay
and nobody criticises nintendo for making a profit
so why shouldnt ebayers?

If people are willing to pay that much, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's just incredibly unwise to pay any more than what the thing's worth, because they'll be readily available in stores in just a few months.

It's not RIGHT, but some people can't find it where they live, are desperate, and VERY rich, so they'll do just about anything they can. Not right, but the market is nice for the sellers.
