Making a profit as has been described is unethical, immoral and sometimes illegal!

While it's true that some military members don't always have the things they may want or need--there are numerous legitimate organizations and charities that take donations for this kind of thing.

Frankly, I'm appalled at the thought of any soldier seeking "free" donations, only to sell them at inflated rates to their fellow soldiers.
