"But I can't put a number on it, any more than you can put a number on "stealing" or "cheating.""
Stealing is defined as the taking of property without consent of the owner. Cheating is appropriation of something by subterfuge.
Price gouging, in general is charging an exorbitant price by taking advantage of or creating a monopolistic market.

Stealing is defined as the taking of property without consent of the owner. Cheating is appropriation of something by subterfuge. Price gouging, in general is charging an exorbitant price by taking advantage of or creating a monopolistic market. All of these are qualitative definitions. They make no attempt to define quantitative limits.
But all of them are accurate, and all of them describe very real phenomena.
