inventory space is not free either. These people are using their homes to store stuff, clearing shelf space at stores and signaling demand.

I can't imagine a speculator who couldn't easily store couple hundred liters of hand sanitizer in their home if they knew they could make a killing off it. People generally have more space in their homes than they need for survival, so there's slack to make a temporary sacrifice.
Regardless, my point is that sanitizer stored by the speculator waiting for the best price is sanitizer not available for those who would otherwise buy it from the store.
