And the Huff has no problems to sink to levels like this "here's no legal term that adequately describes what a reader named Lauren did when she purchased a business-class, transpacific airfare for $586" ...
Actually there is and he used it "purchased" for the asked price.

What I find creepy about this guy that he has evidently zero qualms about all the professions out there whose entire living is based on leveraging arbitrage but if a customer does it, it is suddenly 'theft'. A proper Maoist would at least have the guts to call brokers, merchants, estate agents etc class related names.

Given that he likely cannot be that disingenuous and slow, I agree with the earlier poster he that he merely sells a cheap controversy.
