Matt Colvin stayed home near Chattanooga, preparing for pallets of even more wipes and sanitizer he had ordered, and starting to list them on Amazon. Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, “it was crazy money.” To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic.

The next day, Amazon pulled his items and thousands of other listings for sanitizer, wipes and face masks. The company suspended some of the sellers behind the listings and warned many others that if they kept running up prices, they’d lose their accounts. EBay soon followed with even stricter measures, prohibiting any U.S. sales of masks or sanitizer.

Now, while millions of people across the country search in vain for hand sanitizer to protect themselves from the spread of the coronavirus, Mr. Colvin is sitting on 17,700 bottles of the stuff with little idea where to sell them.

Let the market decide if people want to pay $70 for hand sanitizer. Clearly people were and this fellow was serving a need. Amazon are the real dbs here. Denied.

Fuck these opportunistic bags, i hope his garage stays full of these for the rest of time

Living where they live, now that the guy's name is out, I figure it is just a matter of time before people raid his house and take whatever they want.

Do you talk to every one here like that, or do you have a special hankering for me for some odd reason?

Sounds like they donated it, likely on the advice of a lawyer trying to make sure they avoid criminal prosecution.
