This is Campbell Fuels in Killie doing a nice bit of honest scalping.

Folk fae Killie are filthy when soap costs pennies. No way any of those are getting sold.

A brick through the windae might offset the extortion somewhat.

It's illegal under Chapter 1 of the Competition Act 1998

Competition Act 1998
The Competition Act 1998 is the current major source of competition law in the United Kingdom, along with the Enterprise Act 2002. The act provides an updated framework for identifying and dealing with restrictive business practices and abuse of a dominant market position.
One of the main purposes of this act was to harmonise the UK with EU competition policy, with Chapter I and II of the act mirroring the content of Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty of Amsterdam (formally Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty of Rome).

I'd just put all 4 in my bag and walk out, hand them out to randoms. If they're serious anyway.

About a year ago my mum bought me a big multipack of hand sanitisers, just 'cause. She was always paranoid about the fact that I used buses and how prone I was to catching flus/colds.
Barely halfway through this multpack and now I feel like the small bottle on my desk may be the hottest commodity in my room, haha.

Dick move, imo.
That's just greed mixed in with a large helping of cuntyness.

Yeh.. this photo is from facebook's kilmarnock chat group, with all the context/real names removed. It was seen by multiple people and sadly enough people were buying it!

If they were sold at the regular price one person would buy the entire stock.

If only there were some way to limit sales without inflating the price by 1000% and incurring huge reputational damage upon your own business? What could it be?

Shopkeepers are allowed to say no to that.

That’s right. The market is a wondrous thing.

I know what sort of person wrote that £19.99 on the box. A total cunt, thats who did it.
In Italy there’s people selling sanitisers for up to 300€, this is tame by comparison
bastards. stockpiling loo roll is one thing, but this is just mean.
eBay have banned the sale of hand sanitiser because of price gouging
Just need amazon to follow, 3l of soap, normally £8, now its £50!
There wouldn't be a shortage if these scum hadn't stockpiled it to resell!
