iPad 2 shortages mean one thing — some people are going to make a lot of money selling their iPads to you. If you consider yourself an entrepreneur, you may have purchased several iPads for the sole purpose of selling them on eBay. Judging from what Joe Wilcox found today, iPad 2 profiteers are doing very well.

Apple’s second-generation tablet is pretty much sold out everywhere. If you want one, good luck trying. Shortages are sure to intensify demand, and crazy buying behavior. It’s a psychology-of-buying thing, like customers running on the bank to get out their cash. People afraid they won’t get iPad 2. The next couple of weeks are going to be ugly, as desperate masses fight to get Apple’s tablet, further feeding hype and desperation, further pumping up demand (and prices).
