Online marketplaces are supposed to make it easy for buyers and sellers, but when sellers post fake prices, it’s super annoying for buyers!

If you saw something listed for $1 online, would you assume that was the real price or a marketing trick?

This man was tired of sellers posting $1 listings just to grab attention when he knew in reality they were selling items at really expensive prices.

So, he came up with a creative way to respond that annoyed the sellers.

Read the full story below for more details.

People Fill Up My Marketplace Search with Their $1 posts for things they want $4,000…So I say:

“Hi, I’m definitely interested in this for $1! When can we arrange a pickup?”

I am fulfilled when they angrily tell me that’s not the real price and how clueless I am.

This man would get an irritated response from the sellers.

Often, they would respond:

“Did you really think you could buy [this item] for $1?”

Why? That’s just showbiz, baby!
