I the case of Dealers "gouging", the term seems perfectly appropriate. There's several verbs we can use like "overcharge" but the slag for that is "gouging".Can we stop using the word gouging? ADM is not gouging. Contrary to popular belief we will not die if we do not get new trucks. Gouging is someone charging $50 for a 12 oz bottle of water after a natural disaster because they are the only supplier in town. You will die without water but you won't die if you don't get your xlt lux with 4k tow package. You can buy another truck to hold you over or get a SC if you're into that kind of thing. We all would love our Mavericks yesterday. Being an importer and a customer like everyone here I understand both sides. I've never seen the supply chain this messed up. I've had to make decisions on what to import and what to cancel. Most customers have been understanding but some are unreasonable and accuse us of gouging when the shipping alone costs more than the previous sales price. It sucks. Nobody is happy. The sooner we go UK style and let everyone just do whatever and get back to normal, the faster this show will be over. Don't blame Ford they arent the ones forcing ridiculous policies on the entire supply chain.
Cheat, Extort, Rip off, soak, gyp, pad, soak, fleece, stick it, nick, clip . . . . ALL would apply. Like many on the forum the first word that comes to mind is gouging.
