What exactly are you looking for on FB marketplace that's worth the time and effort of setting up and running agents to monitor it? Why do you need multiple accounts?

I browse marketplace then I drop the link to my agent and it has a file with 100differnt Facebook accounts and a skill instructing it on how to configure a subset of them to appear as genuine buyers who are essentially colluding to drive price down before one makes a genuine offer.

On my end I drop a link and invoke a skill file and a couple hours/days later my agent messages me saying they have confirmed a pickup and the price it acquired for me.
