I just wonder if this guy is a RS regular. I can't imagine he'll have many friends after all this. Although the price is so high I have to think it's as much of a joke as a serious offer. Although if I had both Sat. and Sun. booked and someone offered me $5000 for one of them I'd gladdly sell it.
I wouldn't call it a "joke," as I'm sure he'd be willing to sell if someone offered him the money. I think I'd hold it against him if he bought the entry with the sole intent of flipping it for a profit (which happens with concerts, sporting events, all kinds of shit every day), but if he's intending to ride and just decided that for an extra $5k, he'd sell his ticket, well, more power to him if he can find someone willing to pay that. Like Darc said, he'd be willing to sell his entry for $5k too (as would any of you, I'd think), which make everyone no better then this guy. The only difference is that he actually put the offer out there, instead of waiting for someone to post up "WTB: COTA RS Entry $5k." So, unless someone can prove that he bought the entry with no intention of ever riding, let him do what the free market allows.
...and after reading the thread over on the R6 forum, it appears to be exactly the case that he has two entries, and decided that for $5k he'd skip one of the days. If somebody actually wants to ride the track badly enough that they'd take him up on that, how does that make him a bad guy?
