    There is no morally correct way to make money.

    Fair product sold for a fair price is morally correct..

    Human greed gets in the way of fair though..

    I've just closed that thread and issued a warning to the user

    (The server had already been sold)

    Why? OP seemed to be an established user. Service transferred at cost? What's the wrongdoing in that?

    How about looking into bots ran by forum members to scalp good deals, openly advertised?

    Anyway, I agree with OP but let's define what the discussion and definition is about exactly.

    The user in question didn't specify a price for the service transfer

    If you announce a service transfer, you need to specify a price, and the following rule applies:

    1. The selling price for the service cannot be more than 2 times the recurring price, or $10, whichever is higher.

    Fair enough :)

    This topic gets discussed almost every year :D & yet there is no way to stop it or distinguish it from buyer's remorse.

    Would be nicer to see a captcha that also verifies that you are a LET user, before giving you the order link and/or a promo code, for all offers.

    So you can't share any of these offers and they stay available only for LET members.

    That doesn't make money though, does it?

    Sure it does. Fair price doesn't mean it's free or unsustainable. It's just not overpriced with a margin of like 200%.

    Ignore scalpers, don't buy from them if it sounds fishy.

    Yes... Why wouldn't it?

    Sustainable, long-term, stable growth..

    If it's just for normal usage needs, servers being interchanged is not a bad thing. But if it is used in exchange for a high amount of benefits, then this is seriously affecting the legitimate interests of other users.

    Impulse buying maybe?

    I mean it's legal but I think the admins should remove threads that attempt to resell promotional products within 90 days of purchase(free transfers are fine)

    In my opinion transfers should be fine as long as there is no markup added. If someone transfers his promo VPS for the price he paid I don't see an issue.

    Our service transfer listings are almost always "seller pays fees".
    We have to add a markup to cover payment transaction fees and provider transfer service fees.
    Depending on how the buyer pays us (domestic vs international, credit vs debit), we could make a little extra or take a little loss.
    We also need to recover 5% state income tax, if annual sales via PayPal is expected to exceed $600, which would trigger a tax form.

    Also, we include a secret push-up video in each server.
    Those are priceless.
    Once upon a time, @brueggus bought a server just for the push-up video, after which they immediately offered the server for sale.
