[QUOTE="dugby, post: 2030912, member: 7393"] Price Gouging is a socialist concept. In your supposed gouging the gouger is an evil lout and the gougee is but a fool. It assumes individuals have no self determination and are worthy of no respect. I've taken a lot of beatings on stuff I bought new and got bored with. What I paid for it was not the issue. What myself and someone else could agree on was the issue. I don't hold a grudge against the person that bought it cause I lost some money and I don't really care if they think they paid too much. You are free to buy, sell or not buy or not sell at whatever price you agree on. I like things free and unrestrained. People may be eccentric but so what. Look at how much collectable items go for. $10,000 for a comic book that sold for 15 cents. Lots of transactions involve prices where sales price is 3X the cost of the goods. So what. When demand exceeds supply the price has to get into the pain zone to curb the demand. Consider the consequences of the restrictions you would have imposed on all of us. We are all responsible for our ownselves. We should all be given credit to make and live with our own decisions. The government can't be your bully in everything to keep you from your regrets.
