Legally there isn't anything wrong. It's just a question of morals; if you offered some service or item from the street for a profit, even 4 times the normal asking price, then ok, if people are willing to pay. But when some non profit cause is involved it's much different; taking advantage of one and then profiting from it - ugh.

They look messy.

They're also just a stupid trend now since those damned pop stars started wearing Beat The Bully wristbands.

I really don't see everyone's problem with this, providing he bought them properly in the first place. So, the charity has its money that it wanted, and he's got some stuff he doesn't want.

And if some idiot internet people want to spend 5 time as much money on the same thing, with none of that going to charity, well that's their own pointless little faults.

I suppose that the fact you already bought them so the donation to the charity for them has alreay been paid dosn't make it that bad. In theory your just selling them on for profit, charity is still getting money from you to begin with.

Its the people who pay for them when they could pay less in a shop and know their money goes to a charity and not to you that maybe are the bigger issue....


So do shops have them in stock now or just certain people?
Just wondering why people would pay over double for them online..
