Pandemic and the Virus Giving An Opportunity To Opportunist / myLot

July 1, 2020 9:20am CST

I hope am not hurting anyone with my point of view but sorry if I did. I mean earlier most people were not much bothered about their health, vitamins, Hand Sanitizer, face mask and other things. But with this pandemic and virus is helping those that are flexible with business and many have adopted preparing Hand sanitizers, Face mask etc and even the PPE kits and making good profit from it. Did you realized there's an entirely a different market to earn from now?

Yes. Actually a lot of businesses have suffered during this period and I saw people who had stationery shops and gifts shops have started to sell groceries as a secondary business to support themselves. I think only groceries and pharma can feel safe now.

There's money to be made in any crisis. I won't really say they are opportunists these business people just found what is needed at the moment and they are satisfying the need. So long as they don't over price or take advantage I think it's practically alright since we live in a capitalist free market society.

@Butterfingers here some are over priced and some are not, the consumer has the power whom to buy and whether to buy or not. Consumers have power not unless the seller runs a monopoly. I think this is how our system works.

Those things are very necessary for us to stay safe these days and I'm glad that we have people that are making those items available. Here, it is still a challenge to get these supplies and so I hope that more entrepreneurs get into that field.

Yes, though you can earn like crazy by selling mask, sanitizers and such, I despise the price gouging some merchants do.

Good morning and yes I do.They are just gorging the people and charging outrage prices on this. You can make your own mask and save cash.I have four homemade one. If you can sew you can make it.
