Ok, but if I understand your post (not totally sure) I don't think we have nearly enough information here to be condemning. We don't know who was selling on Saturday, probably wasn't mainly record stores from what little can be discerned. So that is indeed irrelevant. If they follow the rules and then have left over stock on Monday, who cares where and how they unload it? I go on Saturday and buy what I want from what they have. Most stores aren't Bull Moose with automated online inventory systems. If they take what didn't sell to their regulars on Saturday and put it on ebay to move it out, that seems like and intelligent and prudent maneuver to me. How long should they hold on to it before they are allowed to sell it online after the initial rush of RSD is over?
