It’s perfectly fine to gouge.

Just make sure your next move will be out of state.

The people in one location buy up all the plywood and the stores will get none in until after the storm.

A man 400 miles away sees an opportunity, rents a flat bed truck with all the plywood it can carry and drives to the area. He starts to sell of the back of the truck and includes cost of truck rental, plywood, fuel and hotel room for last night with a 10% profit.

Should he be arrested for price gouging because his price is 40% above the prior price?
