Was it something you could wait on, or did you end up buying it anyway? It was going against my principles for self interest that bothered me ... I could have justified it more easily for a pet!

eBay of course has auctions for sanitizing products and I saw a canister of Clorox wipes bid up to at $89 yesterday. But then, it's an auction and nobody was forcing people to bid. Kind of a gray area as long as the starting price was reasonable.
