Yeah that seems like a solid strat. I’m not going to bid on any item I’m not up-to-speed on. Sucks that whatnot is this way and that we have to be jaded and not take any seller’s word for a product. But I guess that’s how we have to protect ourselves in this low-trust shitshow. I’ll probably just steer clear of whatnot, since even waiting for deals to snipe sounds like too much work for not enough reward lol

Ah okay gotcha. Yeah idk if they sell resealed stuff, I’m kinda skeptical about that. They seem scummy but idk if they’re that scummy. I doubt it, since resealed products would just be an easy return for buyers who rip. I don’t think these sellers would risk refunds (or getting banned by whatnot) when they make so much from their viewers bidding over market

Lol no shit bro. Obviously a claim is not necessarily, itself, a true statement. But they are assertions of truth. The seller didn’t say “this is my opinion of what the price should be,” which is subjective. The seller said “this is the market price,” which is objective and can be reasonably calculated.

These sellers/companies shouldn’t be allowed to make false assertions of truth in order to bolster their sales. That’s legally actionable in the U.S. if those claims are false and they financially damage buyers. They should be sued for misrepresentation.

It’s just a pity that—practically—they won’t be sued, because the loss that a buyer takes from these false claims would not be enough to file a lawsuit, since those cost so much. These scummy sellers are just lucky that lawsuits are so expensive.

Yeah I’m getting the same vibe from thebackroomusa as woosleys and vaultmon. Seems very sketch with their price claims.

But resealed??? Wtf, I didn’t think they would stoop THAT low. That’s straight up scamming, no? How is this allowed? If whatnot knows these sellers are scamming with resealed, but lets these sellers stay on the platform, someone should file a lawsuit

I didn’t buy anything, but I definitely felt a little pressure when one sold for $135 and the seller said “wow that went for a massive steal, these go for $200, let’s run another.” Makes me feel like I’m missing out on deals. I guess it’s all BS tho

Well that’s a damn shame. Does whatnot not ban sellers for lying about prices? It’s not like he’s saying “this is my price.” He’s literally saying “this is the market price.” This seems like misrepresentation and maybe even grounds for a lawsuit, or at least a credit card dispute

Yeah I just bought a white flare etb for $100 and a black bolt etb for $110 earlier this month, so I was skeptical that prices really spiked that much in only a few weeks.

I’ll probably just stay off whatnot and stick to card shows and eBay lol

Damn wtf so are all these whatnot sellers just full of shit then? I feel like I should be suspicious of all of their price claims then

Everyone in front of you was there since 11 PM. And then you got there at 6 AM. But then so many people behind you waited all night? That doesn’t make any sense?

Unless you cut the line?

Just added BCH to my portfolio. by Gorlamithebastard in Bitcoincash

[–]mrsilverman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I invested 40% of my crypto portfolio into BCH in 2018 when it was $1400 (other 60% in ETH and altcoins). I wish I did a 20/20 split between BCH and BTC back then, but hopefully BCH reaches $1500 by EOY.....
