Most of them time by the time they sell it (if they do at all), some time has passed and I am sure that the unexpected bill or expense has come due.
My point:
If the item you are selling is still in the package...why don't you just return it to the store? Do people not keep their receipts?
90% of the time, I'm fairly certain it's a sympathy ploy.
I'm willing to bet that the majority of people who post those sales descriptions have multiples of every item they're trying to sell.
As for army builders who do this, if they sell the army they've built then I'm sure they had a momentary passion for building the army or they're taking advantage of the other people they know are actual army builders. But, army building has never made any sense to me. When people talk about it, I wonder how many of them are sitting here, moaning about not being able to find enough BATs, but already own 7 of them. Realistically, though, I'm sure people who army build have enough disposable income that they've already ordered 15 of every figure they want to army build from some on-line scalper, like BBTS, that pass themselves off as an on-line resource for collectors.
