Well this sucks. Looks like Verizon is not content with being the most expensive carrier in the United States. There is a RUMOR that as of 11/15, they will be doubling their early termination fee to $350. It looks as if this is to stop those shady folks that sign up for contracts and then sale the p ...

Yesterday I received what was either a Halloween trick or extortion: a letter from Blue Cross Blue Shield notifying me of a 24% rate increase starting January 2010. Quite simply, this is price gouging per se. Since this is a financial media site, I thought it would be educational to demonstrate how ...

So here is my Thursday grouse. For the past week or so, I've had to pay cash only when I go to our food court to buy anything to eat (more about the fiscal irresponsibility of not cooking at home later).

I couldn’t resist all the fanfare and went ahead and bought Windows 7 at the exorbitant price we Australians seem to be gouged with. I have a moderate case of buyers remorse now and I’m not exactly sure why I felt the inexplicable need to purchase a copy. Maybe it was a momentary lapse in reason or ...

I will post this letter addressed to the US Department of Justice in full, in regards to the piece I wrote about earlier on huge chain stores price gouging projected holiday bestsellers. I’m so ecstatic that the ABA is trying to break this up. It’s ridiculous and unfair to independent sellers who ca ...

Michael Giberson It looks like we may get through the 2009 hurricane season without any new evidence generated of the harm due to anti-price gouging legislation. The lack of a lot of hurricane damage is good, obviously (but I foresee that it may leave me bereft of new material for blogging on price ...
