I'm not sure we should include this. Rich Farmbrough 23:27, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
How is "Panic Buying" a football/soccer-related term?
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. Relationship between Panic Buying and Per Capita Income during COVID-19.

In what way is this conversation being in relation to a Football term ?Some clarification would make this Article more useful for the reader. DeanACapitano ( talk) 01:58, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
An edit regarding the ethics of panic buying was repeatedly deleted by drt1245 (page does not exist), who has reported me for
disruptive editing The edit is as follows.
It is those consumers with sufficient disposable income, storage space and private transport, who are able to indulge in panic buying. Typically, those with less available cash, credit, or free time, are disadvantaged by the unethical behavioural
panic of others

What is the motivation of those who seek to air brush away ethical responsibility at this time of global crisis? Such parochial limitation does not serve the cause of science well. Those claiming a monopoly of truth by scientific hegemony, would do well to listen to interdisciplinary thought, and ethical concerns, if their minds can possibly be opened to it.
