Instead of banning them, how about Amazon work with these guys to find an agreeable price to sell these at? They have what we need. They've incurred costs. Maybe there's a win-win. This guy's a moron, but here's a cautionary tale: A relative in Florida was complaining after a hurricane that he was being gouged. Building materials were a lot more expensive as was labor. However, he was able to get his house repaired pretty quickly given the scale of damage in the area. The higher prices incentivized the movement of goods to the area, and also caused a lot of tradesmen to travel hundreds of miles to the area for the work. Florida passed an anti-gouging law. The next hurricane came through, and my relative could not get his house repaired for almost a year. There was no incentive for tradesmen to relocate to the area, so there was a huge shortage. The cost of moving material to the area could not be covered because you couldn't charge more. He finally resorted to driving around and talking to crews doing work. He eventually found a crew that would work for him on their off time "off the books" - for a high price.
