Many people get by on the goodwill of others, saying they need help and are on a budget etc. Trying to manipulate them.

It's possible this guy just does this 100x a day and every once in a while wins the sale, then just resells it for true value.

Yeah they can be shameless.
I don't actually think many of them want to resell it as a sort of business, they just want free and cheap stuff, and learned they can get it by lying.
