If you go on Amazon and wish to purchase the “Pandemic” board game to play with the family while social distancing at home, I’ve got some bad news for you. It seems the giant online retailer has no more copies of the popular cooperative game to sell.
Amazon vendors, however, have the game but the price has doubled from what alternative online board game retailer Funagain Games would charge if they had any copies.
Yea but what about toilet paper?
Bad_Brad–
You want to use a board game for toilet paper?
How about if we use the Amazon vendors as toilet paper??
That’s not price gouging, that’s simple supply and demand.
Now, if they were charging exorbitant prices for rye whiskey, that would be a whole other matter.
^ I’m watching the price of coffee VERY carefully (with Irish Whiskey in it, of course.)
Price gouging is when oil drops to 23 bucks, there’s no demand for it, there’s no place left to store it, and gas stations still charge $2.19 per gallon. Wait, maybe that’s just called Illinois.
$2.19 per gallon? You have nothing to complain about.
$70 for a board game is a little high, but is anybody forcing anyone to buy it? Is it something you can’t live without? Then charge whatever the market will bear!
Am I supposed to sanitize items I receive from Amazon’s virus infected warehouses?

Actually I’m in the process of marketing one I developed. I call it “Skid Row”
Wonder how much You could get for that discontinued (racism)
Zombie/Haiti video Game? Me thinks there is a Warehouse somewhere
full of these…
Wait until this is all over, you can get one of those games at any thrift store for a couple of dollars. Thrift stores will be flooded with a surplus of jigsaw puzzles, games, toys, unknown gadgets.
@Bad Brad: Saw a sign against a mailbox that said “In need of toilet paper, please help!” They’re too lazy to go locate it in a number of stores that have TP first thing in the morning. Too lazy for them to roll out of bed and go get it. Piss poor planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part. In this game, you got to think and plan ahead.
“Roll out of bed…”. Heh, heh.

This has been very entertaining, but sadly I must give out local wanna be Preppers an F.
Stores are empty of TP, bread, frozen pasta dinners, and not a drum stick to be found. Chicken is wiped out. Plenty of beef.
Plenty of canned goods and rice. They’re nuts.
imagine wanting to buy the board game pandemic, when we are all playing the real life version.
