I agree with buying what you need but there is no reason to price gauge.

I m tired of hearing about how the people have been hoarding toilet paper for no particular reason. I hate to see what is going to happen if we had a real emergency like we needed to evacuate our state.

Evacuate your state? Where are you going to go? Guess it is not different that when the hurricanes some through. This virus is not going to cause you to evacuate your state.  Stay in your own state.  Don't bring it to mine.

Yea I read that story too and I don't feel sorry for him hopefully he will understand the meaning of greed and karma.  He said what am I going to do with this now?  Well my suggestion is ride around and give it out to the people free of charge that he kept from being able to get their fair share because of his greed.  Kudos to Amazon and Etsy for catching up with this people and cutting them off

I wish I thought like this.  (sometimes)  I am not a good seller.  I think why pay this much for something that you can get cheaper some place else. Probably why I am sitting here hoping I don't have to really cut up rags to wipe with.  LOL    Well I hope he does the right thing and take that stuff to the hospitals where they really need it.

I've seen comments on other posts about people hoarding products so I guess this proves it. This is way over the top, though. I wish people would refuse to buy from sellers like this. The more I look at the pictures, the crazier it gets - he even bought allergy meds!

Most people are not 'hoarding".  Most people are buying what they need for an extended period of time being banned to their homes. A few are doing what this man done but most are not. So now if anybody buys stuff to stock up they are called a hoarder.

Maybe they are like this guy. Also, I did not say anything about "most people." No, people are only being called hoarders if they do what this man did, not if they are simply stocking up.

lol You are mighty defensive.  People have been yelling hoarding til it is irritating to hear the word. They don't even know what it means. I made a general statement. These brothers are an exception. MOST people are not hording. They are preparing for an 8 week stay in their home.  Which is now what the cdc is saying you need to do.  2 months is a long time to not be able to go to a store. People can also live with a lot less than they are accustomed to. You can live on one peanut butter sandwich a day if you had too.  Most people are fat anyway and need to lose weight. So it's all good.  It is insane to see what is going on though.  And I look for home break ins to pick up.  This can't end good.  And people need to start sticking together instead of just looking for reasons to fight with everybody.

Yeah...saw that story a couple of days ago and now he decides he gonna give it away and that he isn't sorry.

What a jerk. I get his thinking, and if you do this with toys, merch, non-essential things, fine. That is smart. Do that all day long. But to do it with health supplies during a pandemic is awful.

No, not really.  There was a video game a few years ago that was supper popular. A woman I know who sells on ebay got ALL of them when they hit the local shops.  ALL OF THEM!  Then put them on ebay for about 10 times the price.  It was a popular game that year and what everybody wanted.  How is it fair she bought something she did not want and could not use so she could sell at an inflated price because it was Christmas and she knew people would pay her outrageous jacked up prices.  Even poorer people could afford $50 for a game for their kid for Christmas. But they could not afford $600 or more.

That's a very good idea: Donate the stockpile.  It's great that Amazon and other online retailers have been trying to handle this unethical practice. 

Sooner or later he and anyone else involved in greedy activity will have to answer for their actions.  If Big Brother doesn't catch them then our Eternal Father will.

This is so selfish and so against the law to make a profit on a bad situation.  I hope he gets stuck with all of the bottles and can't pay any of his bills.  He should thank about the elderly who can't get out and purchase these supplies, if they were available.

wow...people are taking advantage of way too many with this virus going around...should be a limit on items..

[dsosnowski06]

He deserves what he gets!  My daughter works in a hospital here in Illinois and was told today that they have to limit the number of nurses and doctors that can enter a patient's room if they need protected gear because they are running out of supplies and cannot replenish fast enough. They are all on double shifts which in now mandated at their hospital.  All vacation days have been canceled. Guess some people still don't how serious this is.
