A seriously large amount of the goods on Offerup are stolen. It's insane.


I do wonder how much of the modern app or second hand selling community is based on grift and stolen goods. On my local OfferUp in Philadelphia it looks like 30-40% scams(Giving away for free for my birthday text at XXX) 30-40% obviously stolen goods(iCloud locked devices). The small remaining posts are clothes and other items, finding a legitimate item for sale can be a real struggle.
