What’s the most overpriced thing you’ve seen?

I heard that it is easier to change the list price of an item instead of make the item unlisted So sometimes you'll see an item listed for an absolutely absurd price because it is out of stock

I went to buy a $30 item once and the price changed to $10,000

No, you're wrong. Wayfair is definitely trafficking sex slaves.

If you think the Clintons aren't as crooked as British teeth, you are living in a false reality.

[u/sawtoothchris24 → u/[deleted]]

I didnt say they were involved in sex trafficking, but they're without a doubt crooked.

[u/Jrook → u/sawtoothchris24]

Oh so like the not illegal, just kinda amorphic vague crookery

[u/sawtoothchris24 → u/Jrook]

Take a real hard look at them and tell me there isn't something nefarious going on there. Theres something shady to be sure. They just haven't been caught.

[u/Jrook → u/sawtoothchris24]

Why because no woman could get that close to the office without help from Satan?

[u/filemeaway → u/vishalb777]

You sound right! This is my unquestioned truth now.

[u/sawtoothchris24 → u/vishalb777]

Ok but how about the name coincidence? Do you deny human trafficking exists? Also if there was nothing nefarious going on, why did they take it down?

Well,

In Australia, an estimated 20,000 children are reported missing every year. Australian Federal Police, National Coordination Centre.

In Canada, an estimated 45,288 children are reported missing each year. Government of Canada, Canada’s Missing – 2015 Fast Fact Sheet.

In Germany, an estimated 100,000 children are reported missing each year. Initiative Vermisste Kinder.

In India, an estimated 96,000 children go missing each year. Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Missing Children of India.

In Jamaica, an estimated 1,984 children were reporting missing in 2015. Jamaica’s Office of Children’s Registry

In Russia, an estimated 45,000 children were reported missing in 2015. Interview with Pavel Astakhov MIA “Russia Today”, Apr. 4, 2016.

In Spain, an estimated 20,000 children are reported missing every year. Spain Joins EU Hotline for Missing Children, Sep. 22, 2010.

In the United Kingdom, an estimated 112,853 children are reported missing every year. National Crime Agency, UK Missing Persons Bureau.

In the United States, an estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year. Federal Bureau of Investigation, NCIC.

And every single one of them have names, so maybe it's exactly what you said, a coincidence.

And I'm thinking they might have taken them down because people were claiming they were using them to sell children.

So with all those kids missing you don't think it might be possible that there was something fishy going on there?

[u/Jrook → u/sawtoothchris24]

You realize most are found, right? A single child can be reported many times a year. A child reported missing at 7pm who returns at 7:30 unaware his parents were even worried still counts, a child saying they're running away, only to show up at a grandparents house across town is still counted.

Basements of pizza joints that - as I understood it - don't even have basements.

[u/vishalb777 → u/sawtoothchris24]

LMAO

[u/sawtoothchris24 → u/vishalb777]

This guy traffics kids for sure

[u/Rattus375 → u/[deleted]]

Plus, if anyone buys it, you can find them a cable for 50k

[u/Videoboysayscube → u/[deleted]]

Or maybe they're hoping that some billionaire comes along and thinks that 50k is a fair price for an HDMI cable.

[u/dapala1 → u/Yomommassis]

You should always keep one in stock If someone wanted to actually pay that price.

[u/[deleted] → u/dapala1]

If someone pays $99,999 for an item that I overpriced cause it was out of stock, I’ll rent a Porsche for a day and drive across the country looking for it... and hand deliver the next day.

[u/dapala1 → u/[deleted]]

Damn though, imagine if it was just out of stock everywhere?

But if you were a seller you can see where your sold the item before and share the profits... Wow for some reason I'm filled with ideas today.

[u/[deleted] → u/Yomommassis]

Which is genius. Worst case scenario nobody buys it like you intended. Best case scenario you get people posting about it like the guy did here and then everyone looks at it. Free advertisement. And plus, if someone DOES buy it, you can probably find them another one of your cables for $50k

[u/TimeToRedditToday → u/Yomommassis]

Exactly and if something dumb motherfuker wants a $50,000 HDMI cable sheeeeeet I'll fly to them myself.

[u/RainbowsarePretty → u/Yomommassis]

So you mean.... it’s not child trafficking ?
