I'm working on a 3rd option. I buy up as much as I can at WalMart prices and what I can't use or don't want I pass along to others at the same price I paid for it. That minimizes how much the piece of **** profiteers can get their hands on. All this bull **** about free markets is fine and dandy but the assholes marking a $175 can up to $350 are scumbags. And to be perfectly honest I kinda HOPE the IRS get's curious about how much profit some of these "hobbieists" are making. Hell it was tax evasion that got Al Capone. I'd love to see some of the gougers get shut down on the same charge. Guess I'm not a libertarian, cause it really pisses me off when "making a few bucks here and there" becomes "**** everybody, get all you can". When you see one of these insane price threads check and see if the seller has a track record. Some will surprise you.
Thank you
