What laws does this violate? Illegal resale without a permit or something?

  Some states have laws against price gouging. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging

  Potentially price gouging laws. Even if he is not breaking laws, he is doing morally reprehensible thing.

    What about the people hoarding hand sanitizer?

      Also falls under morally reprehensible thing.

        So he hasn't harmed net immorality. I'd say the good version of this would be buying up hand sanitizer in January, selling it for markup yesterday. And if somebody is mad that you're making money, tell people a certain percentage of the profits goes to charity.

          Of course he has. Vast majority of hoarders don't hoard nearly that much. Vast majority of hoarders don't plan on exploiting people.
          • SamReidHughes 7y ago
            Well, if he hasn't sold them yet, he has. He needs to find a buyer ASAP. I suppose this article would help.

              Still immoral...
              • SamReidHughes 7y ago
                Yes.

      It's the difference between worry and irrationality and exploiting others in cold blood.

        If he sells it to organizations that really need it, he’ll do a net good.

          > If he sells it to organizations that really need it, he’ll do a net good. Organizations that really need it probably aren't going to be buying from a sketchy Amazon marketplace seller.

  does it have to be illegal to be bad?
