Wayfair is trending on Twitter right now

In case you didn't think this was true...

R1 - I still don't think it's true. This is some right-wing bullshit clickbait.

Why do you fall for this shit? Seriously - you're a gullible person.

Um, did you miss the Pizzagate 2020 reference in the Op? Finding it bizarre and falling for it are two different things, r2. Lighten up, asshat.

Wayfair responds to the stupidity.

Armoir Hammer trending right now

Storage cabinets cost almost $14.000? Has a very unusual name listed that's identical to a missing child? Would this be true or is it a hoax? Does this sound normal to you? What's really going on? A rival company out to destroy the competition?

Have any of these bitches ever ordered anything from Wayfair? You have to put it together and the shipping box is usually busted and fucked up and halfway taped.

That right-wing, mildly-retarded, Trump-supporting Christian whore, Stevo Bobbio (nee Theone and now Slow) believes in this and posted several Instagram stories about this "theory".

One of the girls that was supposedly a cabinet order was actually a runaway and was found a few weeks after she went missing. And, sadly, another cabinet child had just wandered off and her body was found three days later in a pond. She drowned.

This may be the second dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.

It was strange too how it just snowballed so quickly. Yesterday QAnon went from a joke to something to be concerned about.

What is the return police for these "cabinets"?

r9 Maybe Waifair has a cloning machine. You ever think about that libtard?

Ain't that the truth.

Still Wayfair and Amazon has listed pillows and cabinets for over $10000 each. Sales are through 3rd parties if that makes any difference. Strange.

Its strange peoples minds go from the more obvious answers of some intern added a zero by accident, or Chinese companies don't get Western currency to "THERE'S KIDS IN THEM THERE CABINETS!"

Maybe they just forgot the decimal point and Wayfair has a system to add popular google search words to their product names/descriptions so these products pop up when someone searches these names.

What’s the first r10?

If you find a child in your armoire then you need to follow Patsy's advice.

Wait—armories or armoires?

As seen on Twitter?

“oh but hear me out what if Naya Rivera was taken by Wayfair???”

A response to this whack tweet ^

“I’m going to humour this theory. Why would an alleged child trafficking company kidnap a 33 year old woman and leave her 4 year old child?”

When will they name one the Karen?

R22, that rug is brackish.

R10, you haven’t seen the tweet at R21.

Not to mention, R24, hideously overpriced.

I don’t come cheap R26

You're an idiot for passing this shit on OP

[quote] I don’t come cheap R26 —Naya

You don't come up. Glug. Glug.

OP doesn't 'believe' it. He's been paid to spread it, on as many online forums as possible.

Anyway, the hillbillies will devour it. Because they love to skewer The Elite. Apparently unaware that their Fuhrer is the ultimate Elite.

Remember, there are a number of Republican Candidates for the House of Representatives and Senate that believe and support QAnon. To save this country, this must be stopped. More companies need to boycott Facebook and other social media until methods to stop this madness are implemented.

R30, Op here...are you new to DL?

They’re now connecting the CEO of Wayfair to Jizzlane and saying Tom Hanks is running a ring through Wayfair.

As long as they leave me out of it, I’m good.

With these kinds of things actually happening, I don't understand how the Onion stays in business.

I believe it. The prices are odd. Crazier things have happened.

I don’t believe there’s child trafficking going on here, of course, but there is something weird. Why do all of the items that have “mistaken decimals” also happen to have the names of missing children?

Multiple people tried to get a thread on this started yesterday, this appears to be the only one that sorta kinda took off.

OP can deny it all he wants but posting about this "stupid new conspiracy theory" opens up the thread for people who believe in it.

It really doesn't seem stupid to me. We seem to have grouped all human trafficking conspiracy theories in with Pizzagate, which is stupid because up until a few years ago you probably would have grouped the people accusing Epstein in with that.

Not every conspiracy theory is Pizzagate. Grouping every person who believes in investigating suspicious activity in with deplorable psychos is idiotic.

If we dismissed every conspiracy theory as crazy and labeled everyone who believed in them as nuts then Watergate never would have happened

Wayfair, as with lots of online sellers from Amazon on down, has items shown on its site they neither stock or ship. They come from other vendors who price the items and write up the details on the site. More than once I've had to return an item which was, say, listed as "100% cotton" that was in fact made from a 50/50 cotton-polyester blend. The seller, again let's say J.C. Penney, says "Sorry, we don't write the listings, the vendors do" when I bitch about it and, if they give a shit, "We'll look into this and correct the description" as they process the return.

My guess, either as a sick joke or in furtherance of their conspiracy, is that someone has done exactly that: listed the items for a ridiculous amount (a particleboard wardrobe with a laminate finish doesn't cost more than $10,000 - a mahogany Baker, Knapp and Tubbs wardrobe or armoire doesn't cost that much) so it's very unlikely anyone will order one. Whoever lists the item names it after a missing child and starts the rumor. Wayfair lists dozens of styles of wardrobes, many of which are overpriced at less than a thousand dollars, so my guess is that these listings will be gone tomorrow if they're not flagged and pulled down already.

My coupon code isn't working. Are the cabinets exempt?

I'm watching a white trash female on a chat site talking about Wayfair and Soros and checking the child related goods. She totally believes the rumour and is explaining that the company is deleting certain child products "so it must be true". The stupidity is real.

So...the 14K shelf was designed, built and mass produced within four weeks of one of the girls going missing and they named it after her that quickly?

but what about IKEA?

It's dutch/french/scandanavian for 'I'll kill you' and sure enough, kids got killed.

R40 has the most plausible explanation for this.

Last night, I couldn't resist... I had to take a look for myself through the Wayfair storage furniture listings with the names of missing children. I don't know guys, the names aren't common and match the unusual names of the missing kids.

I'm just about to read Wayfair's response to Newsweek.

I've seen one-of-kind Russian dolls on Etsy for $9, 999.00 that are marked "Sold." I attribute that to doll artists trying to lure prospective buyers to take a look at their dolls.

I've seen really, really, bad original oil paintings on Etsy, Chairish, and eBay for extremely high prices that no one would pay. Again, I assume the artist doesn't want to really sell the painting or the artist is trying to inflate the price of their artwork or generate interest.

On second thought, I'm not into conspiracy theories, but it is weird that every single one of these cheap-looking cabinets are thousands of dollars and named after missing kids. I agree about the third-party sellers being the ones doing this, not Wayfair itself. So it's not that far-fetched of you think about the third-party sellers.

Right out in the open! Pizza anyone?

Why do news articles insist on calling it “unsubstantiated rumors”?

Now I question the conspiracy... why is it they were quick to show the prices on the cabinets, but not these? How much are the step stools?

If you recall, Wayfair got into some deep shit with its employees last year when they sold furniture to be used in Trump’s detention camps for children separated from the families at the US’s southern border. The employees staged a walkout that got a lot of publicity but ultimately, no change in their policies AFAIK. A lot of people who work there were unhappy with management’s overall pro-Trump/“we do business with everyone” tilt.

Maybe a disgruntled employee or employees is doing this as payback. Wayfair’s explanation - “These are really heavy-duty cabinets and thus priced correctly” - still isn’t very plausible. And still doesn’t explain the unusual names of the missing kids.

Or, r38, it's absurd enough to warrant a discussion. If you find threads like this so offensive that you need to finger wag might I suggest you just don't read them.

R51 I think that you're right. It's a hack.

I never understood whether Wayfair was supplying beds and furniture for the border kids or not. I'd rather have them sleeping on Wayfair beds than on a concrete floor inside a cage.

Everyone knows that you don't get a kid unless you enter the code #freechildgiveaway2020 at checkout.

A central component of all of these conspiracy theories is the “hidden in plain sight” factor. It’s not fucking Nancy Drew, with little clues and hidden messages sprinkled about for the quick witted to spot.

R53 and I wonder if it's a hack designed to discredit the CEO, Niraj Shah. I see fake-news websites saying he's resigned in connection with this (he has not), so I wonder if somebody has it in for Wayfair or for him.

I agree, kids sleep better on beds than on the floor, but Wayfair's employees took the position that doing business with Customs and Immigration or ICE (not sure who runs what detention centers) was immoral and those concerns were kind of brutally dismissed by the CEO at the time. It sounds like a less than salutary workplace culture at Wayfair's Boston HQ.

Sometimes in online retail when an item is no longer being sold the price will be jacked up instead of being taken down mainly because if seller has other similar items it will show up in the recommendations.

So if I search specifically for XYZ, I will get a page for XYZ with a price of $10k and then I'll also see something on the page like other cabinets from seller.

So, Wayfair's really got just what I need!

[quote] I don't know guys, the names aren't common and match the unusual names of the missing kids.

They "found" four kids whose names matched the odd products, one of which was a kid who died in 2003, another of which was a girl who was found years ago, and went onto Facebook to ask people like you to stop harassing her. The other two were common names.

Other online stores like Overstock and Amazon and eBay have products that are priced in the tens of thousands but aren't worth that much. It's been going on for decades at this point and is either an algorithm glitch or some weird kind of placeholder.

Also, the "search for the product numbers on Yandex and you'll find child porn" proof is rigged -- you type in "SCU" and the product number, and the "SCU" part brings up pics of kids, not the number. The "SCU" thing was concocted by Pizzagaters ages ago.

I can't believe people buy this shit

I think at this point, companies need to think really hard about what they call their products because assholes will pick up on it if you don't. Just go with "john" "mary" "will" forget the exotic ones.

This bathing suit is listed at $666k, which seems a bit high. Any idea what I’ll get if I order it?

^Isn't that poo-shoes bathing suit?
