The subjects of this story, Matt Colvin and Noah Colvin, spent days driving from store to store, buying up all of the antiseptic supplies the stores had. Then they ordered pallets more online wherever they could. Everywhere they bought, they tried to completely clean out the supplier's stock.<p>Then of course they started selling their hoard online for multiples of their purchase price.<p>I don't say this lightly: Fuck these assholes. If this article is accurate, then these guys are true pieces of human shit. Amazon and Ebay should be applauded for shutting them down.<p>Some rise in prices is natural and expected; the only alternative is enforced rationing. But what these guys do is different; they're trying to create privation and desperation in the market so they can profit from it.<p>It's difficult -- maybe impossible -- to make this activity illegal in a way that doesn't critically threaten the legitimate free market, and that's an important aspect of the evil that these people do.
