Stick it to a garlic farmer by buying their garlic? Even if selling it again means that they dont get the sales at that event, thats still garlic sold at previous events above the amount that they might otherwise have sold. Maybe growing more changes things, but unless one is a farmer oneself, I doubt one can so easily grow more garlic that a professional garlic farmer, because of the land and tools needed.
This guy is looking at the long view. If you read it to the end, heβs starting his own garlic farm and is going to constantly undercut Jimβs prices, so that Jim wonβt make any (or many) sales, until Jim goes out of business. Heβs doing this even if it means a loss for himself; his goal is to ruin Jimβs business.
Now, this is whatβs known in Birdman culture as βa Dick Move,β but Jim seems a bit of a dick himself. However, while it might screw up the beginning of my season, if I were Jim Iβd simply pivot to onions.
It all comes down to how far OPβs poster is willing to take it. He certainly seems petty enough to pursue all paths, at whatever cost, to prevent Jim from being able to still produce at that farmerβs market; changing crops as Jim changes crops. If Jimβs invested enough, he could rotate his crops between a half-dozen different root stocks and the odds Vengeance Boy would happen to match whatever heβs selling that season would be slim and spoil his plan.
