They’re selling them to people who can’t afford to buy them at the actual stores for full price. Essentially a service where you pay someone to take on the risk of stealing for you, plus a sort of grocery UberEats.

Where there’s demand, there’s supply, the people who do the supply part looks like learning to code hasn’t worked out for them so good, nor has our society in general. People who do the demand part, they’re just poor.

There’s a vice documentary about this and from the people shown it’s pretty clear that they’re not going through all the hassle of this because they have such easy lavish lives.
