And it looks like he is out of business

A Tennessee man who became a subject of national scorn after stockpiling 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer donated all of the supplies on Sunday just as the Tennessee attorney general’s office began investigating him for price gouging.
quote:
“I’ve been buying and selling things for 10 years now. There’s been hot product after hot product. But the thing is, there’s always another one on the shelf,” he said. “When we did this trip, I had no idea that these stores wouldn’t be able to get replenished.”
quote:
Now Mr. Colvin is facing consequences. On Sunday, Amazon and eBay suspended him as a seller, which is how he has made his living for years. The company where he rented a storage unit kicked him out. And the Tennessee attorney general’s office sent him a cease-and-desist letter and opened an investigation.

Well, he'll get a tax write off and be known in American lore as that crazy guy who hoarded all the hand sanitizer back in 2020 so I guess it's a partial victory.

If that storage unit place only knew what all their other customers are involved in, they'd be kicking out quite a few

Right, because buying 18,000 units of a product you expect to be replenished and sold at your cost is how you make a living selling things.

Should've doubled down and bought up all the beer too

The Tennessee ag was about to and is still probably going after him. Just mitigating his future liabilities

He said the outpouring of hate has been scary for him and his family. He said people have incessantly called his cellphone, posted his address online and sent pizzas to his home. His inbox was flooded with ugly messages, he said. One email he shared with The Times said: “Your behavior is probably going to end up with someone killing you and your wife and your children.”
It was crazy on the local sites on social media.
This guy probably needs to shut up and get out of town for about a month. Let it die down.

Baw is a stupid frick.
Couldve put up a sign and sold it for what he paid and lived to see another day.
No harm, no foul.
But no, dude needed some attention.

He is a jackass and it all backfired on him. However, if he wasn't a total moron, he could have just had a "garage sale" selling only hand sanitizer and could have made all that money back and then some.

Lying a-hole. Everyone knows how that business works. You buy hot items that no one can find and resell it for profit.
Only this time it wasn’t a hot Christmas toy or a sporting event tickets, it was an item that could ultimately cost someone their life because this a-hole was trying to pull them all off the shelves so he can make his profit. frick this guy and I hope he gets arse raped in fines.

Donated because he was forced. He's a piece of shite. frick that guy.

This story pisses me off. Let the man make a living.

I really don’t care about a guy who hoards hand sanitizer. It’s not a necessity.

TN attorney general and his staff are pieces of shite. Had a Facebook for the past 2 years with over 10k followers about rustic flag company that was out of TN. They had taken peoples money for wooden flag orders that they never fulfilled. TN attorney general got tired of the requests directly to them and from other state agencies so they just put up a blanket banner saying they are looking into it and haven’t done anything else

Selling hand sanitizer for $70 a bottle. He should be jailed.
