It gave a lot of joy to sell them at cost (on craigslist) rather than cancel my purchase or pocket the premium they could've fetched.

Karma? That's just good business sense. Buy low sell high.

  I think of these practices as "Hoarding" & "Price Gouging" rather than business sense. More like taking advantage of people without adding any value to the trade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging
