This is definitely a bot/group. Each account has the exact same naming scheme, (NameRandomLetters) and they all have similar histories. If I was setting this up, idd have it fish already sold items from ~2yrs ago and repost the ads, but decreasing the price by ~25-50% Then a notification system when someone sends a message and you'll be able to flood the market and know when you get a bite.

No phone number & 9 Great photos!
fvdfdvlf7CMU has not sold any items
color: moon gray (should be lunar)

Smells of scammer!

I am also seeing where NEW users (March 2023) have one item sold. I am wondering if they work together, or are the same person, to show an item purchased in history!

I am an admin on another site and can see where most IP's originate from. Can PB admins see the same?

Keep up the great works guys!!

^^^^ The pattern in the usernames suggests some kinda bot/program is used to generate them.

Have asked if he can supply his username on a scrap bit of paper with a photo of the frame. Doubtful, but hey.

A man named Marryshwartz was selling that bike until a few days ago. But now the name has been changed to molenjohannes.

I had a run in with this person recently. Was looking at getting a fork from him. Lots of red flags in the way he interacted with me. Then the conversation disappeared from my inbox.
