Got generators? You can sell them up and down the Appalachian corridor as thousands are still out of power at huge profits.

No kidding. Ice and generators being sold at enormous mark-up from the beds of rental trucks throughout parts of Appalachians. So, venture capitalists, if you got the cash you can make some quick money. Power may remain off in some places until Thursday.

    it is illegal in Florida.

    1. What is Price Gouging?
    Florida Statute 501.160 states that during a state of emergency, it is unlawful to sell, lease, offer to sell, or offer for lease essential commodities, dwelling units, or self-storage facilities for an amount that grossly exceeds the average price for that commodity during the 30 days before the declaration of the state of emergency, unless the seller can justifying the price by showing increases in its prices or market trends. Examples of necessary commodities are food, ice, gas, and lumber.

    yeah I was about to leave town for points south when the power came back. still a lot of folks are without and there are people actually selling generators out of truck beds and, (unfortunately) gouging.
