I have nothing against resellers of course but I do feel like money was left on the table. I don't see the point of not buying everything if your intention is to resell every last item.
@Wiley: I try to be as honest as possible when people ask. I've ran into quite a few people that knew they were giving a deal and will ask me about it. I tell them the truth (that I plan to keep some for myself and resell some to offset the cost) and I've never had someone take issue with it (though I'm sure there would be some people that would).
