Who cares. First of all, you are assuming he made his story up, but you don't know for sure. You seem to be trying to convince everyone that his story is made up to back your beef with the guy (i.e. throwing **** on the wall to see if it sticks).
IMO, kudos to the OP if he is able to make money off tickets he purchased. Even if that is why he bought the tickets (to flip them and make money), good for him. I wont be buying them, and it sounds like you wont either, but someone probably will, and that means what he is doing is OK.
If you believe that his story is legit, then you're going to need my business card soon.
Never said I believed it, but I also have no factual information to prove it wrong. As a lawyer, you should probably understand the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. Additionally, as you seem to just throw accusations out there with NOTHING to back them up, if I ever needed a lawyer, I'm pretty sure I would look elsewhere.
Now that's just the stupidest comment in this thread. This isn't a court of law and this isn't a criminal matter.
The OP buys 8 tickets at 8:00AM the day of the sales to the exact two games it unfortunately turns out his wife says he can't go to! Not that she doesn't want to go - HE can't go either. Darn the luck. And he's certainly not posting under a fake name because the day after he buys them, his first post (after joining in Oct. 2014) is to sell these tickets. And he says he just wants to get his money back! Except that's not just want he wants. And he's got them listed on Stubhub immediately as well.
But Chuckd needs a confession from the OP before he'd suspect anything.

What if he bought single tickets to many conference games, and these are the only two he cant attend? With how fast those tickets went last Wednesday AM, it is very plausible that the OP just bought what he could without checking his schedule or with his wife to see if it would work out. Also, by saying he wants to make his money back, maybe he is trying to make his money back for all the single game tickets he bought by selling the ones he cant go to? What if this guy never posts on CF, and just causally lurks around (I would be willing to bet a vast majority of CF's traffic is from people who never post here and/or don't have an official user name), and he decided to create a name to sell tickets?
I'm sure that's exactly how it happened. It's much more likely than what I posted. What bad luck the guy has.
You have no idea the reason this guy is doing what he is doing, and honestly, it really shouldn't matter nor should he have to disclose it. OP is not doing anything wrong or illegal. However, you don't like it so you're doing whatever you can to discredit him. Grow up, learn to ignore things you don't like, and move on. No reason for you to get up on your soap box and play Jesus.
You have to love a "supposed" lawyer, of all people trying to call people out about how they make their money. Next time you give someone a bill, why don't you grab your calculator and divide it by 10, and then you can say that you don't rip someone off. Oh nevermind, you're probably a public defender. Carry on.
Bottom line, if you have tickets you want to sell for basketball this year while using a fabricated story for selling tickets to make a rather substantal profit don't do it here unless you want to get attacked. Demand is high so prices will be high on the secondary market
FIFY.
99% of CF posters don't give a crap if you sell tickets above face value. It all boils down to his BS story to flip tickets at a profit.
Agreed you shouldn't make up a story, it really shouldn't matter why you're selling them in the first place
