I don't think fake bids on an auction run by a federal police force is exactly the brightest idea.
- elliekelly 6y agoMy fear isn’t fake bids so much as an enterprising con-artist who buys one legit item and then uses the receipt from the US Marshals as provenance to later sell “legitimate” Fyre hats or shirts for $85-100 several times over.
- ogre_codes 6y agoWhat is the difference between paying too much for one of these versus paying too much for a knock off? Either way you are paying way too much for a cheap hat. It's not like people in 30 years are going to be buying these as collectables to remind them of the great time they had at the Fyre Festival.
- elliekelly 6y agoOne makes you the victim of a crime (fraud) and the other makes you a victim of your own poor decisions.
- ogre_codes 6y agoWhen you place a value on something, invisible & intangible, how do you know whether you got it or not? What better way to celebrate a festival which fleeced thousands of people by getting fleeced yourself?
