Couple of points that I may have missed but did not see posted yet.
If she really wanted someone to get this ressie who appreciated it, she could have offered it to someone on this website or some other similar website frequented by big Disney fans.
Supply and demand argument is completely bogus, and it is immoral and illegal. The transferability of the ressie is key. A seller cannot sell rights to something she does not have, and in this case, the only right she has with respect to the CRT ressie is for her party (call them Z) to be given priority seating at X time on Y date. There is obviously no demand for a reservation at X time on Y day for Z's party, b/c only Z could possibly have such a demand. It is illegal (i.e., an unenforceable contract) b/c she is fraudulently representing to an unsuspecting buyer that the Z part of the ressie is transferable to any other person.
If the ressie is transferable, then she is basically scalping a ticket, which is probably legal, depends on the state. Immoral is a more subjective analysis.
Edited to add: Certain "companies" absolutely can change prices when supply and demand shifts dramatically - like in emergency situations - but most states have price gouging laws to protect the public.
