Just think about Soviet Russia in the 1970's where people lined up for hours hoping to find a loaf of bread and a bottle of vodka on the grocery store shelves. Without incentive, people are not going to work at making consumer goods available and affordable. Without the ability to profit from their work, Bricklink sellers would not be spending hours sourcing, sorting, and listing parts for the AFOL community to purchase. The variety of parts and sets available on Bricklink would be much less and pricing would be variable and unpredictable. For those who think that profit is immoral when it comes from selling toys, let's all be thankful that Lego doesn't think that way, or we'd have no lego at all. This is what I like about (most) of the sellers here: they actually have a head on their shoulders and a brain in it. You hit the nail on the head.
