A Canadian couple has bragged about making more than $ 70,000 by buying bulk quantities of Lysol wipes and reselling them on Amazon at hugely inflated prices to people fearful over the spread of the coronavirus.
As Newsweek reported, the couple started stocking up on the disinfectant wipes at Costco outlets in Vancouver a few weeks ago, and have been putting them up for sale at four times the price they paid. They were featured in an article this week in The Toronto Star and appeared to brag about their scheme, which netted them a small fortune in a matter of days as people desperate to protect against the spread of the virus were willing to pay the inflated prices.
The couple said that they had to take the opportunity to make money while they could.
