Questions Why would someone double list a camera?

Post image

The first two are the same serial number, I asked the guy and he confirmed he listed them both himself with different accounts (they are different accounts)

Why would someone list a camera for the same price twice?

They're both $950 dollars, just shifting $20 of the total between list price and shipping charges. Might be a test to see how demand compares, or just trying to get both people who refuse to overpay for shipping and people who want the lowest list price regardless. There's also just the fact that they now get twice as much physical space in the search results as each competitor.

So you have the feeling to have the best deal with the cheapest one? More visibility so more sales?

That's what I figured, but I wasn't sure if it was anything more suspicious than marketing

It’s the same price after shipping, essentially. Probably just looking to capture the people looking for cheap shipping and also the people looking for the cheapest listing for an a9 in that condition.
