My 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

My 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.

- 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?
