> If you leave your personal gain aside for one moment, don’t you see how that just means you’ll throw 246 of them away because you don’t need them I didn't say I would get 250 of them, I said the price was 250x more expensive in the local store. > These manufacturers pay taxes and employ people. Would you buy a coke for 55$ if I told you "look, these manufacturers pay taxes and employ people"? Or do you have a notion of "this is too expensive for what it is"? > This may not relate to your zippers immediately, but allowing vendors like Temu to exploit our economy by undercutting it has negative effects, which you are supporting with your actions. Just like you didn't read properly that I was not actually ordering 250 zippers, you didn't read my first message properly. Let me write it again slightly differently: I do agree that it needs to be regulated. But on the other hand, sometimes it seems so extreme that it's difficult to believe that the local store is not abusing. At this price, I just can't afford the zipper.
