I don't think it's wrong at all and here's why. Someone puts a certain amount of these kits together to sell. Folks like you buy the kits and sit on them (inventory) for future sales. In the meantime the person putting the kits together has gotten their money out of them ....so they can bring out a new kit and repeat the cycle. The fact that you donate the profits to charity is frosting on the cake...........good on you!
