[QUOTE="vicious, post: 2027794, member: 3937"] If you're not trying to take advantage of people, then I don't think it's gouging. By that, I mean if you paid $10 for something and you're selling it for $100 because you can take advantage of the situation, I think it's gouging. If you have something you paid $10 for and someone offers you $200 to buy it because they want it bad enough to make an offer on something that's not for sale, that's not gouging. It's just my opinion. I believe in capitalism, I really do. I just think greed causes more issues than fairness, so I will avoid places that I perceive to be gouging. I probably won't have any impact on them at all. That's really not the reason for the post, though. I was just pointing out that I don't think there's a need for panic. Reputable and fair shops have merchandise in route, so do you really need to go to a shop that's going to charge you astronomical prices when you can wait a few days and get what you're looking for? Maybe I'm wrong, it happens frequently, but I think we've still got a little time. [/QUOTE]
