DadsAFOL Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Well now we finally know what it will take for Amazon to turn against customers... http://fortune.com/2017/10/02/amazon-scam-couple-million/ A couple from Muncie, Ind. swindled Amazon out of more than $1.2 million in electronics. Erin Finan, 38, and Leah Finan, 37, used a classic scam—buying items and then reporting them missing or damaged. That's how they scored the GoPro digital cameras, Microsoft Xboxes, Samsung smartwatches, and Microsoft Surface tablets that they sold to accomplice Danijel Glumac, 28, who then sold the merchandise to an unnamed “New York entity,” according to authorities. For Amazon, it’s often cheaper to replace items when these claims are filed than to investigate. But after using hundreds of fake online identities to grift the online retail giant, the husband and wife team face up to 20 years behind bars for fraud and money laundering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it looks like Apollo, the god of shady ebay returns has come down on brickolodon for past transgressions. I hope he takes a moment to reflect on what he's done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Well, I can say the undercutting and increased competition has started earlier and is MUCH more noticeable than last year. And some of it is really random, people undercutting the other folks not by pennies, but by $10-$15 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does one get the buy box by sending that many in? Seems like that would trigger undercutters trying to get rid of their stock as apposed to waiting. Am I missing something here?

cladner Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) something seems messed up with the amazon listing of 21108 ecto 1. it doesn't turn up when you try searching on amazon using search terms like: lego ghostbusters lego ideas lego ecto lego 21108 - here it shows up half way down the screen under a sponsored ad... i can see the listing from my fba panel which is like the only way i can get to the listing - its there and everything at the address below but wondering if this complete absence on searching is making an overhoarded set even more of a turd. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JRCB3HQ Edited November 24, 2017 by cladner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
