Indy Posted March 14, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2020 Around me, you keeping seeing people on FB Marketplace who stockpiled posting it for sale. Never underestimate someone's ability to try and take advantage of a situation. People are pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted March 14, 2020 OMG the bid price is up to $1,525.00. Like I said... I'll stick with people are stupid. (I'd be more than willing to sell mine for $1000.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted March 14, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 14, 2020 If you look around, you should be able to find TP. I didn't want to buy the 30-roll packs at Costco for my temporary apartment, so Wednesday I bought 6 rolls of "Quilted Northern" at Walmart where the package claims "mega rolls, 6 = 24 ordinary rolls" but I don't buy it. Maybe I should have bought the 30 rolls of Charmin or Kirkland TP at Costco when I had the chance! I have lots of Kleenex and paper towels if necessary and my hand if worse gets to worse!

Dirtyhip Posted March 14, 2020 Share #13 Posted March 14, 2020 What I can gather is this is a few people playing a game. They bid it up with each other and then never pay. Rinse wash, repeat. It's a joke or an effort to hyperinflate this item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted March 14, 2020 Share #14 Posted March 14, 2020 ...e-bay and amazon both took down all the ads for masks and hand sanitizer a couple of days ago. I think someone figured out they hadn't targeted TP yet, and mostly they're just joking around. The hand santizer and mask ads were not jokes.

"Sites like Amazon and eBay have given rise to a growing industry of independent sellers who snatch up discounted or hard-to-find items in stores to post online and sell around the world. These sellers call it retail arbitrage, a 21st-century career that has adults buying up everything from limited-run cereals to Fingerling Monkeys, a once hot toy. The bargain hunters look for anything they can sell at a sharp markup. In recent weeks, they found perhaps their biggest opportunity: a pandemic." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/technology/coronavirus-purell-wipes-amazon-sellers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
