Hurricane Watch

| 2 Comments

A large hurricane is exepcted to hit the U.S. coastline sometime Sunday night. We here at T&B hope that everybody there is safe and makes it through with minimal impact. However, the "watch" doesn't have to do with looking out for a possible hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast, but rather some inane economic comment that this will boost the economy. The only people who are happy about this and who probably benefit are construction workers. Of course, Home Depot sells a lot of plywood and Wal-Mart a lot beer.

Question: If I am selling disaster-related stuff -- like chainsaws or gasoline-powered generators -- on ebay, and upon seeing the upcoming disaster raise my reserve price, am I price gouging under Florida or South Carolina state laws?

Yes, and I'll turn you in. LOL. That's a good question. I suppose you are outside of their jurisdiction, however, if decide to load up your truck and drive there to sell them, I think they got you.
