2005 Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal fire - panic buying of fuel.
I'm not sure we should include this. Rich Farmbrough 23:27, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- May I ask why?
How is "Panic Buying" a football/soccer-related term?
NPOV?
It seems that this article is being used as a medium to express bias - editors are using the examples to write against policies they disagree with. So, the aricle says that there is "panic buying" of incandecent lightbulbs because gov'ts are banning these "popular products" and there was panic buying of guns in 2008 because Americans were scared Obama would ban them. Look, I personally have no idea if that's true or not, but we need to be careful and be sure to at least cite these examples and the description of "panic buying".theBOBbobato (talk) 03:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Panic buying is a pejorative term, implying irrational behaviour. In a changing operating environment, the assessed risks to supplies of previously unnecessary goods may make accumulation of these items strongly rational.
The term "panic buying" isn't applied evenly across the economy. A consumer purchasing an item is a "panic buyer"; the same behaviour to seize resources to meet expected needs isn't labelled "panic buying" when conducted by businesses or governments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VK1LW (talk • contribs) 11:11, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Panic buying and hoarding express common human behavior in times of crisis. Early in COVID-19, as the pandemic crisis intensified, toilet paper was one of the emblematic cases of panic buying. Panic buying happens in every income class, but there is a significant positive correlation between average income per capita and panic buying. High income class bought more toilet paper than low income class.<Yoshizaki, H.T.Y.; de Brito Junior, I.; Hino, C.M.; Aguiar, L.L.; Pinheiro, M.C.R.
