"The price gouging law makes it unlawful to charge a price that is grossly in excess of the price charged prior to the emergency."

Was the person selling at a unreasonable price after the emergency was declare?

If Amazon or Ebay shut him down before the emergency was declared then he would not broken this law.

Does an emergency outside of the country count when it comes to this law? He was selling when China had an emergency.

Can’t imagine any laws broken. Did he really think this was going to be worth it though?

Meanwhile, Denver doubles and triples the price of driving in the Express Lane every day.

They only do it during times of shortages in the other lanes.

This is so wrong.

It isn't illegal to buy a legal product with their own money, and then try selling it at a higher price.

Amazon and eBay does it every day, and so does my local grocery store.
