Nope
People buy and on sell everything everyday
If thats what floats ya boat , and your not making money on the deal,ya dont do it

I get and understand "Īts a classic car /muscle car " issue
But the car in question was for sale under the hammer at a public auction, anyone with the funds at the time had the opportunity to buy this car

If for some reason the buyer of said car, eventually sells at a loss,is it fair for him to complain of his loss

When the floods were on in QLD at the start of the year , some shops were selling loafs of day old bread for $5 a loaf
Thats profiteering
And my favorite......there were several cases here where greedy people bought ALL the bread rather than enough to cover them for a week or so and when the floods went back down a few days later tried to get a refund.
