Hand sanitizer only lasts so long. Figures can give you years of happiness! I think we know who the real monsters are.
Actually, I read that soap works better than hand sanitizer for the coronavirus anyway, but anyone scalping during a time of crisis is straight trash.

Anyone who is scalping things that people want to use for basic hygiene are scum and human garbage. They belong in prison. Screw anyone who is gouging sanitizer or toilet paper or bottled water. You are living scum. Living human excrement.

I'm baffled that anyone voted for figure "scalping." Reselling collectibles has always been a part of the hobby, and a collector's ability to have/not have a figure will not harm him or her physically in any way.
Hand sanitizer is an absolute MUST right now, simply because washing with soap and water isn't always possible in any number of scenarios. Denying someone clean hands right now could mean the difference in that person getting sick, and possibly spreading the virus to others. Someone might actually die from germs being spread because immoral people are looking to profit off of a pandemic.
This should not be a question in anyone's mind.

Hand sanitizer sold out everywhere, yet shelves of soap sit full... gotta love the easy answer/pill for every problem culture and the poor decisions it creates.

Well aside from the fact that I've heard hand sanitizer isn't all that helpful with COVID, I would say the sanitizer scalper is the worst.
I look at it like this: They're both trying to "earn" fast cash. While one person waking up at the crack of dawn to grab exclusives just to resell at 4x the amount hurts collectors, another person stockpiling cleaners and sanitizers that could help prevent the spread of a disease and at least make people feel safe is a whole other level. It's like Dante's Inferno. They're both reprehensible, but one will place you at a different circle of hell.

Figure scalpers are worse. I’ve been able to get hand sanitizer in the past. Plus, it’ll be stocked again.
But I’ll never get Pete Dunne and Kassius Ohno, and that’s the real tragedy here.

People who voted for figure scalpers are clueless to how the world works. Insanity.

I'd like to think that the eight people who voted for figure scalper were joking, but this is Wfigs, so I can't take that for granted.

People like that are sh*t stains on life....they should be made to distribute the sanitizer they’ve horded free of charge to the people who need it & then be arrested....ignorant pieces of sh*t

I voted for Hand Sanitizer, but it should be noted that the poopstain in this story was basically forced to donate his entire stock. He's also been banned from ever selling on eBay or Amazon again - which, up until now, was his primary source of income. Hand sanitizer wasn't his first rodeo, apparently. Finally, he's being investigated by the state for criminal price gouging and the company that rented him his storage facilities have shut him down as well.
Bottom line? You put bad energy like that out into the world, it will come right back onto you.

I'm not surprised because real scalping, as defined by the law, (not "someone beat to me to figure I wanted') can and does have real penalties.

I do think people even non figure scalpers need to step back and look at the big picture, you got a dude in another thread talking about how he got in a heated exchange because someone at Walmart wouldn’t go find the shipper in the back for him, when the entire Walmart was pushing groceries and essentials! He said and “I wanted to punch him the face” this guy has his entire store out there pushing groceries so people have food and essentials and this guy is mad cause they won’t go find a shipper so he can get his precious Anvil....

LOL, he reported everyone for judging him and not acknowledging the karma that comes with mocking somebody for wanting to assault Wal-Mart employees in the midst of pandemic, and an entire page of the thread got deleted. EDIT: Oh, man. The guy's in his 40s.
