We heard reports in Atlanta yesterday about a hardware store charging $130 for a 3'x5' flag - they're normally about $40-$50.



While I understand about making a profit, and that a reasonable price increase to cover increased costs to replace inventory is only good business sense, this is completely different.  As with the gas prices, an increase of 20 or 30 cents/gallon was understandable, even if it was unpleasant; the ones who jacked prices by $2 or $3/gallon should be prosecuted.
