I did some recreational scalping of tickets when I was a student and used the proceeds to pay for my trip to the event.
Truthfully, if you have the time, have the means and are into watches, it is tempting to flip of few Hodinkee specials and use the proceeds to mine the less appreciated gems in the catalog. There is a gamification aspect to timing the press of the F5 key or writing a macro to do so automatically and the watch serves as a trophy of sorts.
