One way or another, some folks see themselves as (potential) victims,with the idea they have been "done to"
Others see themselves as choice makers,and they own their choices.
At times,none of the available choices are attractive,but there are still choices.
Timing plays a role. Some say "luck" is being prepared for opportunity.
There ARE wannabe middleman hoarder/gougers. The folks who buy out all inventory on the shelves,triple the price,and haul it to gunshows.
Opportunistic day traders. I won't buy from them,and I hope their inventory soon becomes available at their estate sale. I can take advantage of the widow.
I remember dirt bags,I don't give them business.
I cut my LGS some slack. There is a balance. There are only so many ways my LGS can have inventory on the shelf. One is higher prices.
In the short term,the gouger makes a few bucks. In the long term,I remember,and I decide where I spend.
