so, I make one little innocuous comment, and I get the poop piled on me. I'm strictly a collector, but I have no qualms with a flipper trying to profit. If we are concerned about readers getting copies, there are the multiple printings, the digital copies, the illegal downloadable digital copies, trade paperbacks, etc. I see no reason to be concerned for the readers sake. As a matter of fact, the buying frenzy probably brings a lot of attention to a title and probably new readers.
If your're a smart collector, you simply wait out the speculators, wait for the dump, than, scoop them up on the cheap.
