Honestly though $20 for a case of bottled water is actually cheaper than street vendors who sell bottled water for $1 a bottle.

1 pallet of bottled water = 72 cases.

72 x $20 = $1440 a pallet

I can buy cases of water at the dollar store for $2 a case. $2 x 72 = $144

So about $1300 of profit per pallet if you sold at $20 a case.

Plus you'd probably want to provide protection for yourself and bring friends with guns.

Also sell $1 per bottle for maximum profit and to not make it seem like obvious price gouging.

>> No.3362758

if there's any entrepreneurs willing to truck cases of water, I did some rough calcs:

>30 pallets per truck
>72 cases per pallet
>$10 a case
>$21,600

I say $10 per case because I'm not a cold-hearted fuck, that's already overpriced

Price gouging during a crisis is not only good bizness sense but is good for society.

If you sell water at Costco prices during a hurricane it's all going to get bought up in seconds by niggers in full chimp mode leaving the rest fucked. By Jewing the nigger you are saving the Goy. Retard.
