I'd be willing to bet that everyone here has enough Pmags on hand to last through the current drought. If you didn't stock up when you had the chance, you're going to be paying a premium.
I can't really blame Grant for seeing where things go. Maybe starting the bidding at $20 was a bit over the top from our perspective but if there is a sucker out there, oh well. Grant isn't forcing anyone to buy. That doesn't mean I'm going to buy from him either.
It's not gouging if people are willing to pay, and the market as such is reflective of the prices. It's simply supply and demand. Pmags (and mags in general) are in high demand and short supply. It's more akin to speculation, betting that prices will go up, and they might be proven correct.
When a bit of the shock wears off, supply will either rise or fall. If it rises prices will go back down, if it falls, $60 may seem cheap.
