toilet paper and the corona virus

[deblwill]

I just searched Scott toilet paper and I am completely disgusted by the sellers who are trying to **bleep** people with their ridiculous prices.

The world is in a crises and you are trying to sell toilet paper for $80, All of you should be ashamed of

this disgusting behavior. Also, you should remember these disgusting sellers after the crisis and

boycott everything they ever sell. I think it totally sucks and so do the people doing it

just saying

I wanted to do panic buying.
I checked my account. I can only panic.

I thought the new laws were everywhere but maybe just our state?  Last monday morning at 9:00 a law went into effect that no one could charge over 20% of the original price. They went after Lowes yesterday for charging double the price and were talking about individual people. I thought e-bay was included.

Price Gouging Law 13 states have it now. I just looked it up.

Perhaps the end of the ridiculous TP buying spree is in sight. Just as a data point, I took this photo below a couple of hours ago at our local Walgreen's:

I took it just to text to the family, to ask whether I should get Angel Soft because it's our usual brand, or Charmin because it had larger rolls. There were other choices as well. On my way out of the store, I noticed that they were actually advertising the Angel Soft on their outdoor message sign: $1 off if using the store loyalty card, which I did. Cost me $2.99.

Stay tuned for my future listings: eight squares of Angel Soft, with Free Shipping! 

No, wait...

Its crazy. I just bought jumbo toilet paper thinking was normal size. I wasnt paying attention when I bought it. I put on Ebay because I will have no use for it and will let go on ebay. I'm only asking for what I paid. Mine is on the low end. I am so shocked to see the other prices people are charging. Its crazy.

We're talking about one of those monster rolls that go in commercial toilet paper dispensers in public restrooms, not the home-sized rolls that are sold out of stores.

That being the case, you should really have a tape measure in those photos, because it's not obvious how huge that roll really is.

I would like to tell my toilet paper story.  

Just like everybody i'm sure has their "preferred" brand of TP mine is Cottonelle Aloe and E (green package).  I normally refuse to use anything else but i knew that the chances of getting that exact brand would be slim to none so i was prepared to buy/use ANY brand. 

I walk into my local market.  There are signs everywhere warning of a limit of 2 on sanitizer, wipes and TP. 

I hit the TP aisle.  The shelves are totaly bare ........ except ........ out of the corner of my eye ........ i see 2 packs of TP.  The last and only packs of TP in the entire store.  2 packs of Cottonelle Aloe & E!    I felt like i won the toilet paper lottery.  😃

Someone up there likes the "best seller on ebay".

I can't stop laughing, so thanks for that. The "I will let it go on ebay part" is too funny for words.
