These extremely expensive blood spatter rugs on Wayfair are very questionable to me, and if they’re so unique why are the costs so different when they look identical?

Agree. I was thinking of the implications of buying a $100 cheap furniture for $10k.. it seems like a good way to launder money.
The crazy thing about all of this is that they even had the nerve to advertise what was available in the product names. It was sickening to read. I don't understand why anyone would want to name furniture after missing kids names.
Last thing to add: is wayfair really a part of it? My understanding is that any third party seller can list what they want to sell (kinda like Amazon).
Wayfair, Amazon, Etsy, etc can all claim "plausible deniability", which makes it so simple and elegant.
As the prices of their items rise in a wide range of things, they won't need scripts to verify the legitimacy of these one-offs. Imagine if they were selling a car. $20-50k is no big deal. But someone might want that car. So, they picked something boring. Why buy the $20k version when you can find it for $20? "Normal people" would buy the cheaper one.
Gold farmers do this on world of warcraft, say if you buy $10k gold with real money, they tell you to list a random item on the auction house for $10k gold and they go buy it off you.
