I don't know, talking to NYT journalist was pretty retarded. He has become public enemy #1. A convenient scapegoat for people angry about this situation.
Oh, it's a NYT article? Well then, I don't believe it. I'll bet the reporter staged the photo and conned some nobody to do the pic just for the sensational reporting. The reporter made the rest up out of thin air
If they wouldn't have artificially interfered with the free market than it would have been. If someone is dumb enough to pay 50$ for a bottle of hand sanitizer then that's on them.
As an Amazon seller I can tell you that there's no way in the world they would let him store that much flamable material in their warehouse, no matter how many hoops he jumped thru. This reminds me of all those idiots a few years ago who bought Disney merch before realizing Disney is banned by 3rd party sellers on Amazon.
Amazon will make you jump thru tons of hoops to store flamable material in their warehouse. Whoever manufactured the product has to certify exactly what chemicals are in it. Thats the only way they will approve anything at all flamable to be stored and shipped. You basically have to have an invoice for each sku. And they charge you about 3x for storage space.
Try selling (used) Lego products on Amazon as a 3rd party. Hint: you have to pay a $10k fee to Lego to get approved. Same thing for Underarmor. Try this with certain brands and see how fast your Amazon seller account gets banned.
You bought those things from someone who is approved to sell grocery products on Amazon, not those specific brands.
Exactly. Supply and Demand. If its too expensive, don't buy it. He'll have to lower his price to sell. Not different than Disney World charging $5 for a ¢.10 bottle of water at their parks.
Many people here aren't conservatives. They're recovering libtards.
Price gouging has it's place in the market.
There was a story from the last hurricane about a dude who lived in Texas and bought a bunch of generators and then transported them to Mississippi to sell. His price was exorbitant, but people were willing to pay because there weren't enough generators to go around.
The police confiscated them, locked him up and the generators were held in storage.
If u read the article it says he bought a lot of 2000 "pandemic packs" with hand sanitizer, masks, and something else... vendor sold it to him for like $2.50 per pack. He says in the article he was selling them for $50 each. He was like WTF?! I made like $100,000 off a $5,000 investment.
Yeah ok it's so American to suck up emergency supplies during a crisis and price gouging those same items for profit.. I guess that's "the american way" to you. Idiot.
Supply and demand sure, but this fuck tard didnt do anything off the sweat of his brow. All he did was drive from spot to spot and scoop up the product of another man's sweat. All the while some old folk probably needed some sanization to ward off germs. Greedy little shit.
I say this as an uber pro capitalist mudda fuggah.
This guy is a piece of shit.
Not really

Yeah, at this point, the NYT could say the sky is blue and I would question whether it truly was.
THRDRKWRB
Yeah, I'm sure selling 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer on eBay will be an easy and profitable venture.

lol what the fuck is wrong with you? go back to reddit.
Shut up faggot

I didnt know there was a rule on that.. is that a OSHA thing? I guess he doesnt give a fuck about safety.

Banned on ebay as well. I sell there and they made it very clear about that.
Youre supposed to buy the stock not buy up all the stock, dimwit.
Congrats, now YOU are the baddie!

Good on Amazon for this.
And the idiot thought the NYT journalist would give him enough publicity to sell them. Instead, he has become the focus of pent up anger.
I wonder if he initiated contact with the poisonous snake or if the snake looked him up.
Build your own website, sell your product. If people are willing to pay the price then so be it.
12 bottles - $615 https://www.ebay.com/itm/12X-Ego-Aqium-Hand-Sanitiser-Antibacterial-Gel-375-ml-Pump-Bottle-12-Bottles/324103267258?hash=item4b760f63ba:g:WZwAAOSw3axebNnw
Reported that guy.
Yes, this is what we need to be doing. Find these scalpers and report them.
Looks like he's banned. Well done lads.
Some dude on Amazon was re-selling toilet paper for $250 for a pack of 8.
Lol
Loser trying to be a winner.
You get what you fucking deserve

Lmao i mean just look at this poor fucking guy

Will corporations face the same consequences? If so, where are lines drawn where Amazon can dictate how capitalism works?
LMAO, what a clown showing where he's stashing it all. He better hope no one pays him a visit for free samples.
Has he not heard of Ebay. I saw TP that's normally $9 going for $30 on there.
Shithead.
Good. That man is the worst humanity has to offer. Fuck him and everyone like him
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I love it when authorities prevent people from buying and selling! Such freedom!
IT'S TURNING THE FRICKIN' FROGS GAY !!!1111!!!
Atrazine was causing that. Its real.
humama
(see what I did there?)
Context? Or satire?
And yet Amazon will sell their own stock for triple price probably
Yeah ok it's so American to suck up emergency supplies during a crisis and price gouging those same items for profit.. I guess that's "the american way" to you. Idiot.
He didn't "suck up" anything. He didn't put a dent in the supply chain. He bought already available goods.
Now they're sitting in this dude's house instead of being distributed. Great job, libtards.
Guess how much hands sanitizer there is to horde in Venezuela. Yes, it's American.
Or ignorant fucking people taking advantage of others.
what would jesus do?
"jesus would definitely be a scalper"
you're such a transparent trolling faggot. why? go back to reddit where you have a bigger pond, you'll be deported soon anyways.
Supply and demand sure, but this fuck tard didnt do anything off the sweat of his brow. All he did was drive from spot to spot and scoop up the product of another man's sweat. All the while some old folk probably needed some sanization to ward off germs. Greedy little shit.

I don't think you are what you think you are.
Your downvotes just show you how many people here aren't conservatives.
You're absolutely right. They know nothing about economics. I think most people here are waiting for the government to give out "free" hand sanitizer.
