Maybe there are times in our lives when it is okay to make a little less money and help our fellow man out instead of milking them for every last penny you can in times of need. It comes off like they are trying to capitalize on a natural disaster and that doesn't sit well with me.
Again, maybe I am overreacting but my gut tells me doing what they are doing is pretty shady.

Your gut is right, always trust it!
They made a hastily, hand-made sign and stuck it out on display to play on peoples' fears and the state of emergency ongoing. It's probably not gouging, or illegal, but perhaps unethical and immoral. So, business as usual.
Best Buy is horrible anyway. I never shop there and took pleasure in forwarding this link to everyone I know and watching them do the same.
