Boycott? 1 of America's Largest Retailers Caught Selling Water for $43/Case to Harvey Victims
Price gouging during a natural disaster is common.

For some reason, certain folks like to take advantage of their fellow Americans when they’re at their lowest.

Steer clear of this particular Best Buy in a Houston suburb, which was charging nearly $43 for a 24-bottle

One day the leftards will wake up to the fact we run on CORPORATE POWERS, and you are brainwashed by the powers who control the media using " STOCKS" investment etc.............gawd dam connect the dots.

Best Buy says it was a mistake. Not sure why anyone would go to Best Buy for the cheapest water.

Oh, and the price was $42.72 for 24 bottles of Dasani. That comes to a whopping $1.79 per bottle.

You know, if it's a large bottle of Dasani, 1.79 is about what you would pay for a single bottle in a convenience store.

And yeah, ANYTIME people think they can make a buck off of some event, whether it's a tragedy or something like the eclipse they will. I went to Alliance Nebraska to watch the total eclipse and there was price gouging out the ass going on. I stopped at one place that was about 120 miles from Alliance, and was told that not only were there no rooms available, but even if there HAD been a cancellation, the room would have cost 450 for the night. In Alliance proper, the hotels there were charging 1,000 the night before the eclipse, and I heard talk of places in Cheyanne WY that were getting up to 3,000 for a night.

Then, when you got to Alliance, there were farmers opening up their fields so that people could park and watch the eclipse there, and they were getting anywhere from 20 to 50 dollars PER CAR for only about 2 to 3 hours of parking.

Screwed up thing is that people were actually paying it. My room mate and I decided that since the eclipse was going to be directly overhead, anywhere was good enough to see it, so we watched it from a convenience store parking lot that didn't charge anything.

Yep, give people an opportunity to be greedy and they will generally take it every time.

It's the law of supply and demand. If prices stay cheap supply runs out and then no one gets any. Gas just jumped $.30/gallon overnight because refining is temporarily stifled. That's not gouging.
Hell, Hurricane Obama drove gas prices up by seven times that much and they sustained that level for six years!
