Might have to rethink the 2209 range powders I'm holding that I was thinking about selling. Might get called names, and I'm a sensitive wee flower.....

Not the same, what I am talking about is people who go and buy up stock ftom shops at retail price with zero intent to use it just to sell it off once retail supplies have been exhausted.
All this does is compund the supply chain issues as people who genuinely want to buy miss out because "cunts" have gone an bought up all the retail stock and then on sell it at horrendous markups, I have seen powder and projectiles being flogged off at 200% mark up and if that doesn't piss you off well then I guess we just have different moral ethics.
I have also seen the other side where people who re not as up to speed with the current shortages who get ripped off or simply have to go without because of the same behavior.
Also I suspect you bought your "2209 range powders" with every intent to use it so not in the same demographic as mentioned above, I'm also sure your not likely to sell it on at 200% mark up....if you do sensitive flower or not you are a cunt
Hell if you pick up something for a bargain and can turn a profit by onselling it at a "REASONABLE" price I have no issue with that and it doesn't make you a cunt.
