I did like the rationalizing on what is to be gained by causing a panic buy since no one will be left to buy your gear once they are stocked up.Glad the host backed off the somewhat absurd "it's a panic engineered to boost sales. everything will quickly go back to normal" bullshit. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but "stocking up" is just bringing forward purchases you'd make anyway, and act as "insurance" against supply disruptions. and/or price rises. He remembered 900% price rises after a widespread crackdown.
Of course some vendors have realized even in this environment, lower prices from their existing stock=taking sales from their higher priced competitors. Good old capitalism at work.
To be honest, I'm more concerned about the crack down on small packages as a driving force behind "stocking up" from overseas sources.
