I wouldn't call a price differential price gouging...maybe they sold the batteries at that cost for the past several months, they just sell them at a higher price than the competition...technically that is not the last minute gouging. You need to know that same stores price BEFORE the hurricane threat and catch them increasing their price as a reaction to the storm.
It is a tricky one and the cruise line is within their rights. Let's say that Tour Operator A strikes a bargain to offer a tour as part of a package that their cruise guests can book through the cruise line. You entered into a contract for marketing that tour with the Cruise Line. The Cruise Line sells the spaces for that tour. The tour operator should NOT be approaching the guests directly in that regard then and selling the same tour to the cruise line guest on the side, bypassing the agreement signed with the cruise line. Now, if I am just a random taxi on the side of the road, with no written contracts with the cruise line for marketing, anything is fair game walking off that ship.
Question for all those who disagree...what time frame do you think was the WORST time for the PLP if not now. Just curious, because this is pretty bad.
