Hand Sanitizers and masks are sold out in all stores and people are now price gouging these items. Looking on the facebook marketplace today I even found someone selling half used hand sanitizer for $7. Are people desperate for money or are they just doing this because they know people will pay a high price for something sold out in stores? We want to hear your thoughts below in the comments.
Corona Virus Causes Price Gouging on Hand Sanitizers.
Alot of people are just d- bags quite honestly
Jesus Christ if you’re healthy a mask will do absolutely NOTHING…Masks are for people that are SICK to keep the wet germs inside the mask….SMFH…..

I work at the Dollar Tree and we had to put a limit of 5 hand sanitizers per person and we ran out within an hour! This is the media causing mass hysteria! Washing your hands with soap and water works better, anyway!
Damn … I have tons!! Maybe I can make my mortgage payment ???????? come get ‘em lots of scent varieties !!!
Desparate for money.
Just carry around some vodka to disinfect. Have a few sips while you’re at it. After a while, you won’t even be worried about the Corona virus!
Barbara Heimall that will be sold out next..????
Special place in hell for people like that.
People wouldn’t be able to sell these items at marked up prices if other people weren’t willing to pay it.
So who is really at fault here?!
Shane Skwarek the sellers who bought them by the dozens at the stores, leaving none for regular people to purchase.
With state of emergency there is to be no price gouging..Call the Governor lol..SMH ..lol
Cathy Colmyer its only for legal business.
The law does not pertain to the individual consumer.
Carlos Martinho what he said the other day no price gouging during and after state of emergency..I just googled it again and yes it pertains To businesses that supply us with toilet paper etc.
Make your own
It’s illegal have fun loosing there license
Wash your hands and cover your face when you sneeze and cough
I saw a small bottle of germ x online selling for $300!!
What a joke…. lol
You can easily make this by using isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel at more than 1/2 the cost.
Insane
Ppl need to calm down!!! F-ing RIDICULOUS
Shame on those trying to make a profit????

the true character of someone always comes out during situations like this…. what do you think all these damn TP hoarders are gonna try to do when this is over and they have a basement full of TP? marketplace is gonna be overrun with people trying to recoup money…. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!
Being price gouging is illegal you would think our local government Or federal government ( Amazon ) getting away with this. Let me make a comment and it goes nowhere but for people to place stupid marks next to a post..
I have the cure for corona virus. Just Venmo me $100 and I’ll tell you what it is.
Never buy the stuff.
Capitalizing…. just like the rest of them … what else is new …
There’s one on FB marketplace selling for $30 from a father of two from Toms River. I did report it to FB so hopefully it gets taken down.
Make your own. 2/3 cup rubbing alcohol, 1/3 cup aloe Vera gel and a few drops essential oil for fragrance.
Donna Deluzio yup that’s exactly what I did
Donna Deluzio Just make sure Rubbing alcohol is 65% or higher to kill the virus ..I bought 75%
Joesph Humble Thanks, you’re right. I forgot to add that part.
I thought that’s the point of state of emergencies is to stop the price gouging
No. not at all,. it just put in place powers the Government can use when and if needed.
thats messed up
It is proven that soap and water disinfect better than hand sanitizer.. Why all the panic?
Cynthia Caimano if you’re not home you need to be able to use sanitizer when you don’t have access to a sink. ????♀️
They are trying to recoup from living in the highest taxed state in the nation
I went to buy a case of water and it was $6 in ShopRite. It’s never that high
Hand sanitizer is gross to begin with. How about soap n water vigorous washing like people should have been doing since age 2 anyway.
Hand sanitizer is just adding some shit to the dirt n then rubbing it in. Disgusting. Ima big fan of rinsing away the dirt not rubbing it in.
Victoria Cambridge true but when your not around soap and water it’s the next best thing!
Victoria Cambridge you mean you don’t have a sink on hand at all times ? How dare you.
Thought that was illegal ?
I have 55 bottles of rubbing alcohol and 54 bottles of aloe … .5 cents a bottle 2.5 ounces lol
it is getting out of hand that needs to stop I know that s*** on the news is making people crazy
Do people not have soap in their homes? Wash your damn hands
Ridiculous
I went to stop & Shop and they were selling Lysol for $8
