I'm thinking 'yes' JDH. They are like commercials somewhat targeted at kids and young teens, so they make their hundred bucks before the bill paying parents find out and shut it down. Don't say regulation or the card carrying repugs in here will start foaming at the mouth.

I used the word "regulation" with intent to provoke thought about whether or not they are necessary to create a healthy marketplace for consumers. Is the value of high profits for this, or any company, more important than preventing consumers from being damaged by the method used to garner those profits?

Yeah this stuff has been going on for some time now. The same is true with a lot of scams that deal with construction and what not. Thanks for the warning.

Sorry, I didn't mean for it to become "political". I just thought it would be interesting to take a case of what appears to be obvious price gouging and to discuss the pros and cons of regulating the business in question to prevent the practice. Sorry, I don't see that as being "political", but rather economic.

Yes, protect the rights of the consumer while not stepping on the rights of those who are selling
