Wouldn't you be within the law if you simply sold the rolls at your own cost, or even your cost plus 10%, rather than trying to turn a large profit from them?



You could give them to your friend(s) if you have any.

Or try freecycle.

It's not difficult once you realize that if you actually care about waste, then you don't have to profit.


This is absolutely true, of course. I should probably have added "or you can just, you know, give somebody a roll or two of toilet paper." :)

I plan to risk technically violating the "shelter at home" guidelines to bring a 6-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer to a friend in a different city next weekend, assuming my order actually arrives. (It's a little crazy that the stuff is virtually currency at this point.)


I might be within the law (although in some places like BC all reselling is straight up illegal) but some busybody would still call the cops on me and online listings would be taken down by the likes of amazon or ebay.
