Man profits from Influenza A virus subtype H1N1/ Swine Flu

Well i just saw here local that a man was selling regular ol masks that doctors wear.He was selling them by the airport.You won't believe how many he sold either, 800! If he sold them at a dollar thats 800.00 bucks but no, he sold them for 5.00 EA! He made a 4000.00 in a day

He said "i got them for the bird flu but didn't need them.I just wanted to get them to the people that needed them.":banhim:

What's the regular price? Why is it that high? $5 to me is too high but it could be determined by Law of Supply and Demand.

I don't really know why he charged so much.There not in short supply but i guess since they were close to the airport they "thought" they needed one.He catered to alot of idiots today!

200 for $20 on ebay. That guy made a killing.

Hey, if people are that stupid and willing to pay $5 for one of those things, good for him! I just wish I thought of it first!

The guy has his head screw on....good on him...good business sense...

Smart man, I'm terribly jealous that I don't have a nearby airport :shakehead:

Just capitalism.

If he's willing to sell them for that price and others are willing to buy them for that price... then that means they're worth that price.

I wish i thought of that!!!!! No better marketing or a way to drive sales than "The person sitting next to you for the next 5 hours might give you a disease that will kill you!!! save your life by buying this mask for $5.00!"
