I mean I get being abbrassive and unpleasant for like no reason is your thing, but my point, which soared majestically over your head, was that people aren't factoring in many were unwilling to go shopping in 2020. Thus, if you want a luxury item during a literal fucking pandemic, it's gonna cost you if you're not willing to go out and get it yourself.Part of the difference is he targeted things that were likely to go out of stock for the sole purpose of taking advantage of people because people couldn't go out for regular activities. --- Mind post.

Well yeah, his initial success was from exploiting a global pandemic, but now he has a ton of money to segue into some other venture That's what I have a problem with. Sellimg luxury items like video games, dumb bells, swimming pools etc isn't exploitation. People weren't willing to risk going out for those things, he was, and charged a service fee basically. Same thing as Grubhub, Door Dash etc. Lets not pretend he was buying out essential items like diapers, medicine, food etc. That is exploitation.

Part of the difference is he targeted things that were likely to go out of stock for the sole purpose of taking advantage of people because people couldn't go out for regular activities. That's where I disagree: if he could go out, so could anyone else. Again, these are luxury items. The people that bought them from him at a markup are literally saying they are not willing to risk the virus for it, but they'll pay someone else to. Fair exchange imo. And I don't fault either party, again, we're not talking about food or water or medicine. --- "You go. I'm just going to stare at the lake and think about how I almost just killed a baby." ...
