Man there are some greedy p***** on this planet!
In the alternative, it could be because they donated but had no need of it when they saw it and then sold it.
To me, the end effect is that people were encouraged to donate. That's good enough.
The bigger question I have to ask is this? How many of us would / did donate prior to Fansproject offering this?
I think the answer to that question is that most poignant point rather than attacking those scalping/selling off. Because it means our apathy and self-interest is such that we are only motivated when we are incentivised to donate.
Not pointing the finger to anyone, mind you. But food for thought if we want to be dishing out recriminations.
