This is why we have a harder and harder time using any online marketplace. We want our stuff to go to an actual human being and don't charge very much for it, but the hassle of being bombarded with super lowball bullshit offers and from accounts that clearly aren't real people has soured us.
Now we just stick most of our shit out for bulk pickup a couple days early and hope someone gets a chance to pick up anything useful.
It is going to a real human just that human is puppetting 10 accounts 9 of which will lowball the fuck out of u to drive ur asking price down ready for account 10 to offer a low but somewhat reasonable offer.
The age of human interaction via the internet is dead and this is a good thing. Many people will remain plugged into the matrix and the real ones will meet people in the real world. The tech companies are killing the very thing they rely on to exist.
"And therefore I can partake in the exact same behaviour"?
Either I play the game dirty and win or I don't and get fucked.
Don't hate the player hate the game.
