These kinds of listings always annoy me in the sense that these people will find something like this in some kind of storage space or whatever and then immediately spitball a number that’s high and assume that someone will just buy it right off the bat. This item in particular is a bundle that was repackaged stuff from toys r us from ‘99-‘01 that either was sent back to the distributor or never left the warehouse and needed to be liquidated. A lot of the packs are weighed and the lighter ones were packed like this. The heavier packs were sent to BCCG, a subsidiary of Beckett, where years later they’d be used to facilitate another gambling operation with mystery boxes and BCCG 10 slabs.

Oh man, I've also seen facebook groups and other "seller communities" where it's women ranting about how some customer tells them they can find XYZ used book for 25% of the price they're asking. It's funny because they do not respond well to "hey list them low or research prices for a moment" and just start whining about not being able to flip shit.
I remember some woman whining that someone pointed out that her hardcover copy of Asimov's "Prelude to Foundation" wasn't getting sold (she listed it for $20, it's not really desirable unless you're a completist or unless it's signed). Someone pointed out that it regularly goes under $7 and is usually bundled in lots since it's a more minor work. She lost her shit.
There's also been plenty of retards involved in all this, but I usually notice that they're women or niggers that don't actually know what they're doing. The weirdest ones are the ones that go and try to resell discarded schoolbooks for too high of a price. Like, bitch, you gotta do some research.
The other thing I dislike is how niggerish some sellers get with listings and using some stock image of the product without putting any kinda description in there. Or when they don't know how to combine shipping. It's literally right there.
I will say that, sometimes, a decent reseller will negotiate a bigger bundle with a discount just to get their shit mailed out. Given how thrift stores are now regularly raided by resellers, I find it fun noting patterns. A lot of them are kinda retarded asshats. I've seen some that just scoop up anything they think will resell. Hell, at a used bookstore, I caught someone trying to pinch a book out of my basket and had to slap it away. I've seen resellers on social media seethe over youtubers that also do reselling on the side. It's usually vintage booktubers and vintage electronics-tubers that seem to attract these envious weirdos.
In all honesty, good topic. There's plenty of potential milk here. I'd love to contribute more but I don't want to dox myself. For anyone interested, check the Pangobooks community on Facebook. It's a group for Pangobooks Sellers. Pangobooks is an app that lets people list and buy books pretty fast. I've gotten a few good ones off it for good prices, but a ton of people on it seem to be retarded karens that never do price research.

A similar thing happens on GunBroker a lot where people will ask 100%-200% (I've seen up to 500% sometimes) of what a gun is actually worth and just hold it on the offchance that someone will buy it.
This isnt random retards either, but actual known sellers.

Many an automobile enthusiast is tricked by their own mind into buying clankers thinking "this'll make a sick project car" and it ends up being more trouble than the 'deal' it was buying it..
The marketing company behind two 'infamous' promotional statues for the Sonic 3 movie also is trying to get rid of them through marketplace.

M1 Garand Scalpers
The M1 Garand (pronounced, Em wun, Gair-und), a Semiautomatic rifle used by the USA, during WWII. Around 5.5 million were produced, often sent as lend-lease aid. Post war, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, an NGO for promoting civilian marksmanship, was given special permission to sell these and other rifles to civilians, and continues to this day. Along with other rifles, they carry M1 Garands in varying conditions.
Below is a screenshot and archive to their most expensive, non-custom grade, about $1250.
The process to purchase these rifles is somewhat complicated, requiring proof of residency, proof of marksmanship, and being registered with a CMP affiliated club. Purchase can only be made by mail order only. Kind of a hassle, but such as it is, you can't get M1 Garands anywhere else.
Or can you....
Though I wont show it here due to space, you can see on archive, that several of the lower grades are near permanently sold out.
Why?
Scalpers of course!
Now you too can have an M1 Garand with $200 worth of accessories, without all the hassle of the CMP process, for more than double the price!
But you may ask, how do you know its a CMP rifle? Maybe he just got it somewhere else.
Well, look no further than the description:
He doesn't even hide what he's doing.
The issue is really bad too, nearly all garands on Gunbroker are people buying them from the CMP, and then trying to upcharge obscene amounts
Remember that the most expensive non-custom one you can get from the CMP is a grand total of $1250. Its an absolute racket, and the fact that Gunbroker even allows it is utterly ridiculous.

note that at this time, archive.is is inconsistent about producing archives of gunbroker.com. archives will be added when possible

The most weird shit I noticed while browsing the fb marketplace were straight out prostitution publications with a photo of a piece of bread and a play on words on the title as a mean to disguise it. Over here a "concha" is a very common piece of sweet bread, but concha is also used to refer to a woman's vagina. So for a while a lot of publications started poping up with a photo like this:
and titles like "deliciosa concha rellena" (delicious filled pussy) or "mi concha para rellenar" (my pussy to be filled) and other similar variations. The funny thing was, it seemed that a lot of people thought these publications were actually selling bread, so for a while I noticed they started putting at the end of the titles "NO ES PAN!" (it's not bread!). Lately, it seems fb moderation got more strict since I haven't seen publications like these in a while.

I've noticed this too.
I remember the more blatant scam ads where it would be a used good running truck or tractor for roughly $1500 (the kind that would be worth $8000 usually), but you had to email the person and then send them money via western union since they "weren't in the state right now."
They would be listed in each local town with an identical description and pictures.

Etsy doesn't seem to moderate the images in reviews. I found that out the hard way looking for funny reviews on shit like cock cages. Don't know if they've changed the rules.
The negro banks are actually cool but 250 is insane. I've seen them in much better condition for 40-60 bucks.

My mother was selling an old kitchen aid mixer/blender/breadmaker/meatgrinder/ / / / type thing, old and worn out. Asked about £20-30 for it. She had a fucking retard from either France or Germany ask her if she would ship an old beat up mixer thingy that weighs like 10+kg internationally. Like yea sure but postage would be hundreds, it was already expensive as shit domestically let alone international. Truly only the smartest of people use ebay.

Just began doing some local selling. Craigslist never had the best rep but thought i'd check it out to expand my reach. Unfortunantly can't find it but the first listing was for a cheap sex doll. The sentence "If you'd like to try it first you have to host, but i'd prefer you just buy it" is etched into my mind,.
Needless to say don't list anything on Craigslist.

Is this available?
Oh you're selling the entire US Treasury? $2 and can you hold it for three months?
Free fridge full of food and $500, for pickup? Cool can you come deliver it to my house 5 hours away
I mean, those "customers" are annoying assholes too. If they're asking for advice in a community or whatever fine but messaging someone saying "I could get that cheaper" is retarded, go buy it there then? 99% of the time that's just a line from some asshole trying to rip you off.

Etsy is a slog to skim through now with how many obvious drop shipping and AI image scams are present on the site with absolutely no moderation to stop it. The AI scams are even worse because at least with the drop shipping ones, you at least got what you saw and ordered even if you got ripped off for it. With the AI image scams on crocheting for example, you don't even get a pattern that remotely resembles what you're anticipating to make, just weird abstract shapes that turn into nothing. You may have only lost a few dollars, but these jackasses can easily make hundreds of dollars (way more if they live in a country where USD/EUR is worth a lot more) off one scam shop by tricking people, and Etsy doesn't do shit about it. I know Etsy probably thinks why even bother if they're making money either way, but they're losing lots of users just from that situation alone, never mind the whole array of other issues plaguing the platform.
