    Well, you caught me. After all the other books I've read, I just kept coming back to this one on my want list. Had to have it blue. Not sure if I overpaid a little, but it doesn't matter all that much to me, as I doubt this book will leave my collection for a long time. It's also the first book I've been able to get my wife to pick up and enjoy. That makes it worth 1000x more in my eyes

    Are you a 1L? Haha, no. A lifetime ago, I was. I am Hawaii bar certified but would never dream of practicing. Tolerance of this sort of thing irks me, and I thought I'd get my in.

    Breach of contract is illegal. Although it may be malum prohibitum, one could easily argue that there is an element of morality as well (eg. A persons word is their bond, etc). That being said, I'm sure there are extenuating circumstances that many reasonable people would allow for a breach of contract, for instance in the event of natural disaster. Without going into the legality of a breach, I doubt you would find many people that would agree "I am breaching the contract so that I can sell the product for an additional $xx, without any other consideration" to be a reasonable extenuating circumstance. The fact that it may be common practice notwithstanding, it is clearly morally and legally indefensible. Unfortunately, remedies may be limited in these "small" cases. Ebay still makes their seller fees, so they likely don't care. A negative may make little impact, but it is better than nothing. TLDR: breach of contract is bad.
