How about looking at things this way. I'm joe blow . I stand outside at walmart, academy, etc to buy cheap ammo. I then quadruple the price on this item. I don't claim the income (required by federal law). I don't collect sales tax (required by state law). I'm basically a total douche ammo flipper.
Joe blow also forgot his buisness license. That would be in buisness 101
yep didn't figure I needed to break it down to the n'th degree. Basically it's an illegal activity from my standpoint.Joe blow also forgot his buisness license. That would be in buisness 101
The whining in this thread is amazing.
If Joe Blow violating the law irritates you, report him
might as well be blowing smoke up someone's rear. Look at this post, for example...
SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS 1000pcs CCI no.500 BRICK : Reloading Supplies at GunBroker.com
$10 shipping. No hazmat. Cost legit buisness owners $27.50 plus $4.75 adult signature fee to ship within the law (Federal hazardous material transportation law 49 CFR Part 107.333). No one on the fed side gives a crap, reporting or no. Criminals prosper, law abiding citizens take it in the rear by loosing buisness to criminals.
Wait till one of his packages breaks open and they find out what it is. He'll be paying then, no?
I own a business... I know if I overcharge, I lose business.. people will call me a gouger and go some place else to spend there money.. That is how honest business works... The market demands decide the price. There is a fine line between capitalism and being an a$$hole though. To truly take advantage of capitalism it seems (THESE DAYS) that you can't have a conscience. Im not going to wrap a turd in tinfoil and call it silver, it is not in me to do so. These guys know that they are taking advantage of the panicked and ill prepared... It is frustrating more than anything because there is so little honesty anymore. Yah, it technically is (dishonest) capitalism, but that doesn't change the morality of it and it is not justification for such blatant exploitation. All these guys are doing is gathering as much product as they can at normal vendor prices, making it unavailable for others at those prices so they can resell it to them at horrendously inflated prices... then they look you in the eye and tell you they are doing you a favor... Seriously? you're defending that behavior? The buyers don't have a choice at that point but to pay up or be without...
And if the majority made the choice to be without after we realized the supply had crashed, these guys would have gone away, some almost overnight. They would have been crushed by their overhead, ran out of savings or been in divorce court within 30 to 60 days and everyone could have just went back to buying what amounts they were buying before it all went to hell.
