Resale Values

There is absolutely nothing wrong with reselling tickets to a sold-out benefit concert at a premium.

If you're an asshole.

Hey, sale-289524526@craigslist.org, here's an awesome offer: How about not trying to profit off a sick kid?

Hey, sale-288431024@craigslist.org and sale-291007608@craigslist.org, both of whom are looking for best offers themselves, I'm sure any number of folks would be happy to meet you at will call Sunday night—I might just be there myself!

Here's how you redeem yourselves, jackasses: Follow the lead of sale-290724503@craigslist.org, who's pledged to donate anything they get over the ticket price to the Robbins family.

    If you do have tickets, you could barter to have your Unix server configured or the cartridge connector on your original Nintendo system reconditioned. Maybe you just need some laundry folded.

    a commenter on DCist recently offered a helpful suggestion: flag craigslist profiteers like these jerks.
    maybe we can make craigslist less hospitable to scalpers that way.

    I've used the helpful links to flag the profiteers away. I suggest others do the same. Not just today, or for this event, but every time you see something like this on CL. It's a violation of the terms of use. Among other things.
