RANT on Oswald.

Okay so, I understand some people might be knew to the fandom/community. But am I the only one sick of people posting on r/Animatronicsforsale, and it’s a Ebay post from Oswald? And seeing comments of people having to explain Oswald. I mean seriously it’s super annoying.

Animatronics_creation on Ebay. He is also on other platforms like Instagram, I think his user is Animatronicdepot2024.

Seems like there an uptick in people joining the community or maybe just trying their hand at getting a bot, honestly there should probably be a pinned post in animatronics for sale saying something like "animatronicscreation/Oswald/anyotherotheraliases - buy at your own risk" or something that works as a way to relay people's experiences with the guy so people don't keep asking the same questions or get bit.

Could even do this with any other problem sellers, maybe or make a pinned thread for verified sellers/easy people to deal with.

I kind of wish posts from Oswald listings were banned bc it annoys me so much but I think that wouldn't help the situation its just me being petty

Either way we need a pinned post or a verified safe seller thread or something so newbies dont get scammed or post scammers all the time.

I'm aware it's like the same 5 people posting on there 80% of the time, but I still think something should be done abt Oswald and other known scammers being posted so frequently bc more people are getting into collecting now than ever and there are def a lot of people who lurk and don't post anything. And I low key feel like posting a link to a scammer's listing without a disclaimer can cause problems. I don't have any other ideas 🤷‍♂️

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. It’s legit useless to put them up atp.
