lol Does he really thinks he can make money off shit lame scam attempt ? I think he just might considering the amount of idiots happen around the forum they will buy anything.I'm already feeling sorry for the next person who is going to purchase those merits because they will also be accompanied by a negative feedback from the DT.

Lol, a junior member claiming to have 1000 merits for sale! Did he find a way to hack the forum or just extremely bold in thinking that people will believe actually him. Surprisingly the thread is still open  ???

Thanks for pointing this out.

Seems like Etherpic(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1802918) is the owner of Bitproducts.us, which is an obvious scam site.

It's not even autobuy. It's their own site, that they are selling shady products from. Not only are they selling merits, they are also selling bitcointalk accounts, ebay & amazon gift cards, bitmain coupons on extremely high discounts.

If you buy anything from them, including bitcointalk merits, either the product you receive is carded/fraudulent/hacked, or more likely they will just take your money and not deliver any goods. Avoid buying merits in general since it's against the rules, and also avoid using this site.

AFAIK such acts are encouraged by demand created by some members unable to resist the temptation of breaking forum rules. LOL.
