People already selling unreleased singles?

How come Ebay is already flooded with playsets of the new lands, including the foil duals and ulamogs when they aren't even available yet? Are these people just planning on opening tons of cases and pulling the right cards to fulfill their orders? The regular non art duals are at 10$ Ulamog is about 20, the foil duals are ~100. Just seems like a ripoff/scam bad investment at this point. How do so many people already have the ability to sell so many of these singles?

Most of those are stores or card dealers. You can preorder stuff and get it as soon as the set comes out.
They're probably not ripping anybody off.

Well by ripoff I guess I meant the price seems pretty high, although who knows, maybe those lands will go up to 20+ and this is actually a good deal.

I have been ripped off preordering cards. Prices spike then all of sudden sellers don't have the stock to fulfill preorder demands. Shitty experience :/

I dunno, 8-9 dollars for the first printing of a dual land that is guaranteed to see play in at least standard seems reasonable. We are losing scry lands, and all the other dual lands we have are lack luster. These have the ability to enter untapped which is great, and they are fetchable which is what REALLY makes them interesting. I'd say these will probably shoot up to $15-20 once people realize they are going to be auto 4 of's in decks.

They are card dealers, many with brick n mortar stores, just doing normal presales. I've never been ripped off preordering on eBay.
TCG and Starcity also have their BFZ presales up as well.
