How much does Purel charge for them? What is their margin? N - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:21:37

I suggest you read Walter Block - El-ahrairah BAMA - 3/14 20:35:21

Yes, I realize you libertarians have no moral code when - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:39:04

I think one of your biggest hangups is that you don't - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:43:06

I understand scarcity and inelastic demand quite well. - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:54:54

Wrong again - El-ahrairah BAMA - 3/14 20:41:31

"moral code", lol. I don't condone the action, but unlike - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:39:56

Because during non-emergency times, no one would - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:31:42

So you are saying theres a reasonable and fair price - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:33:53

No. There are prices set by supply and demand forces. - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:37:09

In a pandemic, is sanitizer a luxury good or a necessary - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:19:10

let me guess, you're in favor of the gvmt swooping in and - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:23:15

It depends who you are and what you intend to do with it. - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:22:23

like all goods, depends on the buyer's perspective and - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:22:05

luxury good is a very "elastic" term (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:15:30

what is considered reasonable or fair, especially in a time - 90Tiger STL - 3/14 20:14:08

Actually, I'm happy that Amazon told him to go - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/14 20:18:04

That's because 90% of people (maybe more) - ummmm MU - 3/14 20:18:53

His Amazon and ebay accounts were shut down (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/14 20:05:16
