Why?
What if you owned it? Would it be stupid for you to sell it?
To buy it is stupid, to sell it is exploitative and wrong.
IMO.
To buy it is stupid?
Do you mean that someone would be stupid buying it because they're paying over the odds? Otherwise why is it stupid?
To sell it is exploitative? Well, I suppose it depends on your politics, but selling something and getting the going rate for it isn't exploiting anyone, is it? The person buying isn't being exploited unless they HAVE to buy (a life saving vaccine for example).
If I sell something on ebay, and someone bids more than it costs new, I fail to see how I'm exploiting them. It was their choice to buy it, regardless of how silly it might seem to you.
