Just look at the furniture. None of the names are common.

Not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes, there are coincidences in the world.

Do you actually believe they would use the child's real name?

I've seen that on platforms like this, it costs money to de-list items when out of stock and re-list once inventory is replenished. So to skate those fees, people will jack the price up to absurd numbers so that no one would actually buy a $10K pillow and then bring back to normal prices once you have some inventory on it
Not saying that is the case here though

Is it a common practice for Wayfarer to charge $10,000 for a throw pillow?
Do you have factual evidence that they were selling more than throw pillows? This whole wayfair things seems a bit silly.
Think about it for a second:
- Open public commerce website for furniture/home goods
- Wouldn't someone pick something a little less obvious than a throw pillow at $10k each for their nefarious deeds?
- Is it more plausible someone hacked their website?

do you actually believe these are price 'glitches'?

Here's the article where they try to "explain" what was happening. They claim those were actual products that were "accurately priced" but they have temporarily removed the products to rename them and do a better job explaining why the price point is marked up 1,000% higher than the identical products they also sell for regular price.

rumors Friday.
“There is, of course, no truth to these claims,” spokeswoman Susan Frechette told Fox Business in an emailed statement Friday. “The products in question are industrial grade cabinets that are accurately priced.”
According to Newsweek, some conspiracy theorists also tried to claim a Russian search engine shows stock keeping unit (SKU) numbers corresponding with Wayfair products that allegedly return image results with children in bathing suits. However, the SKU searches don’t show images of a single child, further debunking claims the sales are a front.
Wayfair removed the product images from its website over the weekend and said it would rename them.
“Recognizing that the photos and descriptions provided by the supplier did not adequately explain the high price point, we have temporarily removed the products from site to rename them and to provide a more in-depth description and photos that accurately depict the product to clarify the price point,” Frechette told Fox Business.

I have no idea what wayfair said. What did they say?
By your response they must have said, "$10,000 was price of the sex slave, not the pillow. We are sorry for the confusion and will list the pillow at it's appropriate price." Followed by the wayfair jingle.

Read the post above yours. There was no "mistake" in the price point.

So it was cabinets, and not throw pillows. 10k for industrial grade cabinets could be correct. Do you have the market price for industrial grade cabinets?

Sound reasonable and logical. But no, let's take, "Wayfair you have just what i need" eludes to child trafficking.

I don't know. Seems like if I was being accused of child trafficking, id be explaining it right now. Seems shady.

I didn't say it was hackers, i threw that out as a possibliity. After reading wayfairs response, that is much more plausible than "THEY AREN'T SELLING CABINETS, THEY'RE SELLING PEOPLE!!!!"

Why did they have bookshelves listed at a ridiculous price that had books and picture frames photoshopped onto them? One of the books was Bloody Harvest, which deals in organ harvesting/sale. The picture frame said Haitian Friends. That’s not how you’d style bookshelves for sale to normal people.
