It helps people who
1. Strike out and don't get one
2. Have a store that didn't get any stock
3. Can't get out due to work/kids

Some people value limited edition releases (especially collectors). The RSD release is different from the Warehouse/DMB store release. If it were the same, I would agree with your point.

It's a good way to know who is looking for a copy. The day of RSD people post whether or not they get one. If they get one, they are removed from the list. In the past, usually most people can get one, and those on the ISO list that didn't get one can get a copy from another Ant. Last RSD was a great example of this. It was rare that there were more than a few names not able to get a copy. ISO lists help the community.

This is the story of any vinyl release, not just RSD releases. There are people who buy regular releases and don't play them.

By flipping without profit, do you mean a community looking out for each other? I think it's great that people will take time out of their day to go back, get an extra copy, and ship it to someone without being paid extra for doing so.
Also, stores have a 1 record limit. And most abide by that. It's very rare that a store will let by someone buy 2 of the same record. Usually when that happens it's after the "rush" is over and there are copies left over that people didn't buy.

I purchase 1 for me & let another customer have a chance.

If you see this happening, report it to RSD.
