After every panic finally ends you see some who "got caught" with stuff they really did not want or can't afford and try to unload it. Of course they tend to wait too long and then the stuff will not sell or what they have in it. See a lot of ads asking prices for stuff that no one will bite on. Often have to wonder if the owners did not buy the stuff with a credit card and is now seeing how expensive that is if you can't pay it off?Depends at what time someone chooses to stock up (MSM "hoarding"), as to whether or not such has any affect on demand.
Stock up when whatever is readily available? Wise.
Stock up when whatever is challenging to source (price increase/limited quantity purchase/out of stock/multiple trips etc etc). Not wise.
Also, those whom stock up wisely have lessened the burden on those whom want whatever during a sourcing challenge. Because they don't compete with others whom weren't wise…
