Look up Old Bay hot sauce.
ReplyDeleteyou could make the argument that price gouging is a good thing- the reason masks are so expensive is that every suzy homemaker has been scared silly by the tvand thinks she needs a med mask or respirator- high prices for those who really need it to purchase...
ReplyDeleteAt 3:36 p.m. I agree
DeleteHmmm until it hits your family ?
DeleteYou must be vigilant on anything you buy. Know all the ins and outs. Got something like this, just don't buy it. I made that mistake once. I believe it was my first buy on eBay. I ended up buying an item that I could have bought brand new for the same price taking into account shipping :-) oh well, live and learn and die and bring it with you :-)
ReplyDeleteProfiteering
ReplyDeleteHospitals have been locking up the N95 masks for weeks now. The Ironic thing is they are made in China and being sold back to them at a 300% mark up. These viral events are circular just like what has been mistaken and popularized as Global Warming just another infinite variety of organic circumstances we fancy ourselves in defiance of God to understand and control. Much like the Garden Myth of Original Sin. LOL. No one gets out alive.
Supply and demand. Basic economics. What's a fair price? It's whatever someone is WILLING to pay.
