Stolen merchandise on FB marketplace???

[Anonymous]

Have other noticed that there are sellers on FB marketplace that basically have mini-CVSs? Why else would someone be selling new packages of razor blades, shampoo, diapers, makeup, soap with multiples of the same thing if it wasn't stolen?

This seems something easy to track down, but Im assuming its hard to prove it's stolen? Just seems like if people stopped buy the stolen stuff we could actually shop in CVS without having to get everything unlocked, right?

It also seems like something the police could get to the bottom of if they cared to

Wouldn't it be illegal to do this?

DC policy is to allow street vendors who do not need licenses and aren't subject to any regulations. It's technically illegal to sell stolen goods but not really feasible trying to prove the CVS branded shampoo is actually stolen. But not possible to otherwise shut them down.

Nobody wants brown furniture. No scam.

Do you think anyone wants to decorate their house with that stuff?

No.

The price = what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller. Not many willing buyers for that stuff.

Considering that the powers that be are just letting these people walk out of CVS with carts full of stuff and don’t do a single thing about it at the time, I doubt they’re going to do anything to catch the people in a bust later.

The cops don’t bother arresting at the time because the prosecutors just let them off.

And yes, it’s outrageous.

Maybe I'm getting different targeted ads, but I also think of it as a well to get rid of stuff that is too big to mail (=sell on ebay). I outfitted my guest room (bed frame, SleepNumber bed, duvet in discontinued print that I love) from FB marketplace.

Antiques are out of style? What’s in style? Cheap particleboard white crap from IKEA?
