Announced that she is sending 140 ventilators to New York because the outbreak here in Oregon is not that bad. She announced closures very early on and we have benefited from that.

A reasonable markup of 378% by Jared&Princess seems more than fair.
For goodness sakes, they are young entrepreneurs trying to keep their children fed, they are not out to make a killing.
