Yes Debs; the free market in action!  If you really need the stuff, and it is in short supply, in retailing you charge a premium.  Been going on for ever, but this one really does hurt! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Heard this on the wireless today on my travels. He denied profiteering, tried to justify his prices by saying he was trying to stop panic buying!
