I am looking at various sites on FB specifically La Pulga De San Antonio and I am surprised at the number of new items.
Items such as razors, detergent, soap, cell phone cases, clothing and the first thing that comes to mind is where did these people get the items from?

Someone on the site made a post asking if the sellers were taking this from their place of employment.
Makes me wonder.

People get toiletry items cheap with coupons. They acquire lots of coupons, buy the products and sell cheaper than retail for a profit.
Cell phone cases/cords and such can be bought cheap from China on ebay and sold for a profit for less than retail stores sell them.

I don't know about the other stuff though.

I see questionable items on my local garage sale site, too. I just keep scrolling. No way am I going to risk my safety by confronting someone about where they got these items. I'm almost 100% positive that the police would just blow it off anyway if you pass the info along.

I saw a special once about shoplifting rings where people will steal dozens of items such as shampoo, deoderants, etc, basic stuff you would never think of stealing. They then sell them to a middleman and make a few bucks who then sells it at flea marketes, etc. Even selling it at a cheaper price, its stolen so they are making a profit.
