I don't believe it is unethical at all. If you have one of something, who do you sell it to? The highest bidder? The first bidder? The person you like the most? Why is one more or less ethical than another?

I think you are underestimating the depth of information such an automated system would have. This is Uber surge pricing but for everything.
What I am concerned about are the emergent effects of this. Invariably, everything will be more expensive. Whether a single transaction is unethical is kind of missing the point.
