You don’t need to pay that much, Gavin. Even you had to do a double take. Plain Ivory Soap and water does the trick.
If liquid is needed, plain dishwashing liquid is fine.
I even use (green) Palmolive or (blue) Dawn for my laundry or bath once and a while.
Suds is suds.

Sooooo, did he buy it?

Did he make the taxpayers buy it for him?

High prices ie) “price gouging” is a market signal to suppliers to get product into California ASAP. suppliers will respond quickly.

Yes, politicians will whine, but its best to simply leave the situation alone, rather than coming up with far more destructive political solutions.

Actually, those high costs will save people money because it will prevent people from wasting their money on those hand sanitizers that are not effective against viruses.

[Sacajaweau]

Don’t buy it dumb a**.

[Responsibility2nd]

At Amazon?

I suspect that is NOT a Prime seller. I should hope Amazon removes that seller from their site.

Price gouging is OK. To a point. But preying on the fears of stupid sheeple is not good business.

Newsom shared images of a 24-pack of pocket-size bottles selling for $400. "Seriously, @amazon? These prices are absurd," he commented.

Why don't you pass a price control law?   You know you want to Commit twerp.   Or you could just stop trying to micromanage free enterprise.   Because a fool advertises an exorbitant price doesn't mean he will ever sell anything for the exorbitant price.

For once I agree with the clown.

1. Supply-and-demand. Prices rise to ensure supply for those willing to pay a high-friction price for it.

2. Amazon-listed sellers may use dynamic pricing, where computers determine the “fair price” (sometimes with funny results). See #1.

3. Before anyone says “price gouging”, see prices & availability of N95 masks hoarded by idiots who don’t actually need/use them, then see #1.

Surely pocket sized bottles of hand sanitizer are a fundamental human right, just like smartphones and tampons. The California state government should start doling them out, and make the taxpayers pony up for it later.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

If you wish to absolutely ensure supply shortages — institute price controls.

Go to the liquor store and buy a bottle of 100 proof Vodka. It will work!

The guy that taxes everything that moves is worried about high costs - F him.
