People in Ontario are selling rapid COVID-19 tests

Have to tip the hat to the entrepreneurial spirit during a crisis...people are getting their FREE rapid test and then selling them on-line..

As COVID-19 cases in Ontario continue to climb and people prepare to gather over the holidays, the need for tests to detect the virus has never been higher.

And now, some people in the province appear to be cashing in on the demand: selling rapid antigen tests for hundreds of dollars online.

In several posts to sites like Kijiji, ads for packs of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests are selling for anywhere between $90 and $350 at time of writing.

Hahahah, of course they are.

The schools sent one home with each child... hmmm.

I think I will wait for the price to climb though. Might be able to trade for an ounce of gold.

In reality this shows how low and pathetic society has become.

I heard you can buy the test kits that come with a negative result.

People seem to try and sell everything.
Like the bebier stuff from Tim Hortons 30 bucks at Timmy's and 100 bucks or more from selling sites on line.

Notice ther qualifier "unreasonable" prices. They don't define what "unreasonable" happens to be. Unless the government intends to introduce new provincial legislation,there's no law against that activity.

People shouldn't be making any money off this.
The thought of taking advantage in a situation like this ... it's just wrong, no matter which way you look at it.

Not saying it is right but Big Pharma is allowed to make billions of money off the pandemic, and the little guy is vilified trying to make $100 bucks selling a product he stood in line for and received legally?? Doesn't really seem right to me but everyones' moral compass is easier to point at an individual then an industry giant is it not?
John

If the government did they job correctly, and got these out to ppl, then there wont be a need for anyone to buy it from the black market and eventually noone offering it ...

Create hysteria.
Undersupply what people now believe they "need".
What the hell did they expect?

Harkens back to the great toilet paper crisis of 2020.

No doubt they are the same flock. How hard would it have been to simply mail them out?

Can you imagine Canada Post trying to deal with that, it would be a cluster without any imagination.

I can't really see it being that difficult it's not like there is alot of door to door delivery anymore, they don't seem to have a problem delivering flyers and municipal dump schedules.

One thing I don't know, are the tests subject to cold weather such as freezing while in the end of the street mail boxes.
