I stuck some non-LEGO stuff on ebay, worth I thought about £60. I started it at £30 inc free shipping (which would be ~£3), but left the "offer" on so if an early buyer made a good offer, I'd accept it. When doing that I normally automatically reject low offers, but last time forgot to. Six different users placed offers of under £10 on one or more occasions. One person offered £1.00, then £1.50, then £2.00 over the space of three days. The final one had a message "last offer if you dont except I dont buy it" (their spelling, not mine). I don't reject them, I just leave them, so these (non-)buyers are placing new offers separated by at least 24 hours. What do these buyers expect? Surely they are just wasting their own time. PS. It finally sold for £72.
Just this month I listed a sealed retired set for £315 and I had more than 5 offers each under £100 worded as if they were doing me a favour, one in particular used their 3rd offer to increase their offer to £100 !!! it sold in 2 days at asking price as it was fairly priced to start with.

A good money laundering scheme obscures the source. Casinos and cash businesses work best. Or China.
edit: It was a very quickly passing thought. I’ve seen some pretty ridiculous examples of overpayment scheme money laundering from people I’ve worked with—they caught the bad guys, they weren’t the bad guys.
Depends on 'how much' you need to launder ;)
I mean, I feel like you would need to have quite a bit, otherwise your bags would just be too small and get blown around. And then all the force and brushes and all probably wouldn't be good for the money, aside from the fact that I feel like any interior bills would probably all just remain undisturbed. Probably wouldn't even get wet. I can't imagine the waxing pass would be any good for any of the cash either.

£60!!!
It's nice, but not that nice!
Do seven 7s mean extra luck is included?
