I’m thinking about selling my well used Nintendo Switch on Craigslist because the prices are so high (like $450 in my city) I don’t really play much anymore and maybe someone will like it. If I can’t charge a higher price I’ll just hold onto it because I don’t really need the money. Am I being slimy by making a Switch that otherwise wouldn’t be available up for sale for someone who really wants it? It doesn’t feel that way.

I don’t see anything wrong with someone selling theirs that they have no intention of using again. I have a problem with people who clear out the shelves of Switches with the express intent of reselling them at a higher price. Everyone says “the supply chain will ramp up” is ignoring that supply chain has been backed up for almost two months.
This doesn’t apply just to the Switch, but to everything.

To me entertainment feels like a basic human need (though a lot further down the hierarchy), but that doesn't mean we have the right to an individual form or brand of entertainment. There are a lot of alternatives so I don't think there's a real issue here.
