Manny Ranga, 38, along with his wife Violeta Perez, 37, from Vancouver, Canada bought boxes of the wipes from their local Costco only to resell them at upwards of four times what they paid.  

A package of wipes which usually retails for around $14.50 was being sold online for in the couple's Amazon marketplace store for $64.50. 

The couple got the idea for their price gouging scheme while they were preparing for the the outbreak themselves when someone stopped them in the parking lot and offered to pay double for their purchases. 

'It's a big opportunity with all these products,' Ranga said to the Toronto Star. 'I've got to pay the bills. With a regular job, I won't be making this money... I know it won't last forever.' 

'Everything we do, we're in the moment,' Perez said. 'We're hustlers.'

The pair used a truck to travel around the area where they lived in order to visit several Costco locations and stock up on supplies including wipes and hand sanitizer.
