    WAAAAAAAAAAA..... WAAAAAAAA... (Insert high dollar amount here).... WAAAAA. If you want the beer buy it, if not don't. When is enough enough when complaining about price gouging? We get it, it happens. In every thread there is the same advice about not going to the store or complaining to the brewery or the distributor. It happens every semi-major release, get over it.

    Oh god... here we go.

    Personally, I don't give a shit what people's stance is on price "gouging" as long as it's consistent. If you are pro "gouging" then I feel as though you should be accepting of inflated beer pricing in general (e.g. eBay pricing and exorbitant trade offers).

    I myself am opposed to price "gouging" in stores, on the auction site, and on the trade boards. I feel as though it all boils down to the same thing really.

    That's just one opinion and that's all I'll offer. Not looking for what will inevitably become some heated debate... (that means you, stupac). :slight_smile:

    I think that if the complaint about "price gouging" has been aired too many times, the response has been too. No need to complain about complaining.

    Don't let logic get in the way of a good rant, Etan.

    For pete's sake, the name of the thread is KBS Price Gouging; could it be more obvious what's inside? Don't click it if you're tired of the same discussion, amirite?
