having a lot of gear (or even expensive gear) and overpaying exorbitantly for a piece of gear are pretty different. I'll gladly pay $5k on a historic LP or the like, but a $2000 amp for $6000 ain't the same.

I see no difference here. Price gouging is price gouging, and that makes him a scumbag. In the grand scheme of things, he's looking to cash in on a pandemic, which is solely to blame for parts shortages. More died from Covid than 911.Supply and demand.
Old as dirt.
Why not start super high and see if some rich impatient prick nabs it?
I see Youtube videos by these folks that display $25,000 worth of gear in
the background during their reviews.
Maybe one of them will buy it.
Greed would be the store owners who were selling $10 bottles of water in lower
Manhattan the afternoon after the twin towers fell.
I see no difference here.
I’m guilty on the stockpile of gear - but still don’t wanna pay 2x the real price of an amp. Capitalism works so maybe someone will just say F it and offer $4999 and he’ll bite.Of course not. And I'm not implying everyone who has a lot of gear is an idiot with their money.
That would be self incriminating.
But we all know there's gear-heads out there with more $$ than they know what to do with.
New the amp is $3K. The asking price for what look's to be brand new shape is double.
If someone bites great. If the seller eventually nabs $4-5K great. If it's not moving they'll lower
the price.
I see no blame with the seller unless they're putting a gun to your head.
Not reverb but thought y'all would get a kick out of this:
