>>74085031>Some retard at the start of covid bought all of the toilet paper and hand sanitizer from every store in his area and tried to resell it. The police forced the guy to donate everything for free.I remember seeing stories on people hoarding and trying price gouge during covid. My favorite one was a guy who bought up all the sanitizer and masks in the area to the point healthcare workers couldn't get any, so when people found out who the price gouging was, they just went to his place and took everything to give to the workers, and when the gouger complained to police, they just went 'lol sucks to be you'.
There was also third party retailers like amazon and ebay who in a rare moment of morality, shut down price gougers forcing fags like pic related be stuck with everything they hoarded.
Scalping can be shut down, the problem is there's no economic incentive to do it most of them time, or it's corporate run, (see Ticketmaster)
