It could also be another ebay seller trying to get revenge. For some time Majsta was very active in reporting other people selling Vampires for gross profits. Apparently he many listings pulled. It could just be one of those people trying to hurt him back.
I think this is my opinion on this but I'm not certain it really is or is the right opinion. I understand his reasons for going after the other sellers but I don't think it was the best choice. Complain on his blog as much as he wants but I think going after the other sellers just set himself up for this kind of response. Tick off people enough times and eventually they will strike back. I don't think he should have worried about it. He had already made his money on the original sale. What people do with it after buying it really is out of his control.
Does the reselling have the feeling of something morally wrong? Perhaps. But is it actually wrong? We've had many conversations here making fun of some eBay auctions and seem to always come to the conclusion that, while ridiculous, if someone is willing to pay a ridiculous price, they will. That's one of the ideas behind the secondary market. I don't have to like it, Majsta obviously doesn't like it, but that's the way it is.
I'm still not sure that that will be my opinion after sitting down and thinking about it for a while, but it's the first thing that came to mind. Regardless, now we're in the situation of it possibly taking even longer than before to get Vampires produced and sold. If Majsta becomes unable to affordably get needed parts, production may halt.
Majsta has gotten more than his share of flack from people against the project. Could this be the attack that pushes him over the line and just wash his hands of the entire project? I don't know but I think I would understand if it does.
