I have no disagreement with Grace’s explanation, makes complete sense. However you misunderstand my point.

Just because you find overpriced items online does not mean they are illegal. Sellers are allowed to price their items at whatever they like, it is called CAPITALISM.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying. I agreed that people can sell whatever they want for whatever price they want, and most of the time it’s legal. But not always. You are failing to see that there is a possibility that some of the items may not be what they appear to be. You must get over your “normalcy bias” and search for the truth, no matter how wild, outlandish, or unbelievable.

I don't think anyone's arguing that.

Scammers overprice things, but there's usually something that would fool someone into buying it.

This isn't diamonds or Louis Vuitton, where they've brainwashed people into thinking they're exclusive or valuable. These are garbage Ikea level products. There's no logical reason anyone who is smart enough to have that kind of disposable income would buy them.

The premise that they're trying to fool someone into buying one doesn't pass the smell test.
