To price gouge or not... that is the question?
So, yesterday I'm on the scooter rolling through Wally World (the cold is killing my knees and I haven't been able to walk for a couple of weeks without them giving out) and I spot a PS5 bundle in the case for sale.
Holy shit.... it's at regular price of $550.00 So, I immediately buy it. Now here's the question. Do I hang onto it or sell it? I'm not a gamer and haven't played a video game in a couple of years. I posted on FB that I found this by pure luck and offers from friends are rolling in. I think the highest is at $1400 and I've only had it about 12 hours now (still in unopened box). I'm thinking sell it. Damn thing is not something essential like fuel, food, TP, etc... I see it as a luxury frivolity item and I'm not setting the price, per say. People are just offering it. With that being said, I don't think I'd compromise any of my remaining morals by selling it for a shit ton of $$$, right? What says OT? |

"Price gouging" is a term advanced by socialists (like Chuckie Schumer) to help destroy free markets. Their goal, always, just like their leader Karl Marx, is to destroy capitalism (economic freedom).
Their alternative is government-controlled markets which ALWAYS end up as gigantic failures -- and the big loser is usually the consumer as supplies dry up. No seller is obligated -- morally or otherwise -- to tell anyone what they paid for something. If the buyer thinks its worth it, fine. If not he can go elsewhere. "Price is the balance point between supply and demand." -- unknown |

PS5 is in stock everywhere now days. You will likely only make 20-30$ over what you paid merely for convenience. The days of $1k are gone

won't pay for your gas. And if they grab it and run have your camera ready to film the scooter chase scene so you can post it for us.

That is what I was thinking. If someone on fakebook is offering $1400 for it take it a run. You know what they say about fools and their money.
