No, I am not going to commit scams. This is purely out of curiosity. I'm on the mailing list for a commercial liquidation auctioneer. Every now and then, they auction off items from the USPS Inspector. It's all seized consumer goods, and it's the craziest mix of stuff - iPads/iPhones (blacklisted, of course), blenders, rifle scopes, rotisseries for kamado grills, binoculars, MIDI controllers, Garmin fishing GPS gear, etc. It runs the gamut, and it's all over the price/size spectrum. I've bid on them once or twice and gotten things like a Bluetooth speaker for really cheap. It's legitimate, they do auctions for businesses and liquidations. What I'm curious about is the scams or schemes that originate these goods and the Postal Inspector finding out about it. How does this actually work? Are people grabbing credit card info from the ~*~darknet~*~, buying items that aren't so traceable (minus the iPhones), and sending them to PO boxes? What logic governs what they buy, I'm guessing for eventual resale or fencing? Is there really a market for fish finders and Joetisseries?

Sometimes they are not seized, just undeliverable. Wrong address, no one every signed or picked them up. There is a local pallet reseller that bought a whole pallet of packages. They sold them for $5 each.
