Someone going to that extreme, may very well be having some very serious financial issues.
I suspect they may have been selling "filament" light bulbs (having switched to CFT or LED) as some people still prefer those and there is a market in them.

I understand what you're saying.

Maybe a rule that everything sold here must be 'used' could be instituted, which would certainly reduce the chances of folks like this Carl dude from operating a business?
I bought some used toilet paper a few months ago. Man, I really wish I had kept the receipt!

That's certainly a possibility also.

Although I don't personally frequent the classifieds often (I already have too much 'stuff' :oops:), my first thought when I see used items priced below $20...is that the seller may be having financial issues and is trying everything to mitigate those issues.

If so, I have a deep empathy for them. :(

May also be someone who's cheap, with much time on their hands. Why throw items away if you can make a buck or two ?
