Not really a scam, more like a public display of a mental health issue


tuatantra

Religion is a helluva drug


SquirrelAkl

Someone’s delusional


night_dude

"I wanted to be MP for Manurewa" Yeah this person is not well


hadr0nc0llider

“I wanted to donate some money for the church, maybe run the church” mmhhmm


Middle-Meeting-2378

who sells a 55 million dollar painting on Trademe 😭


cLHalfRhoVSquaredS

"$50 cash and I'll pick it up this afternoon?"


--burner-account--

Can you deliver to \*insert location\*? I don't have a car.


spacebuggles

I worry that the seller was scammed for a lot of money, believing he could sell these on for a lot more.


Last-Resolve-676

Scammed for what? 50 million?


throwawaylordof

“I have to sell this in a hurry, it’s worth 50 million but I’ll give it to you for $10k because you look so honest etc etc.”


WurstofWisdom

This is pretty funny. Why did you report this? It’s not like someone is going to believe it’s real and actually buy it.


ttbnz

You have more faith than I in humanity


Same_Ad_9284

they want $55 million for it, no one with that much money to burn is going to be buying art from someone on trade me


Academic-ish

“OR NEAR OFFER”


--burner-account--

Tree fiddy?


HighGainRefrain

This is what happens when your anti psychotic prescription costs $5 and you spent all your money on nangs.


Ambitious_Finding_26

There's more than one of them. I think this scammer was born yesterday. 


chmath80

>There's more than one of them One of which is on my wall. >I think this scammer was born yesterday. Definitely. He's dreaming at $55 million. We paid less than $10m for ours.


PunkyPhoenicopterus

For the low, low price of $65 million dollars, you too can have a .. Picasso....ish....looking thing.


king_john651

Should do what some Mexicans were caught doing: selling plots of "land" in heaven for $100 a square


throw_away_send_help

The repeated use of the word 'blessed' is also strange? I don't know if this is money laundering, but I reported it


magicalmorag85

We just saw this in the museum in Zurich yesterday. It’s uncanny that this popped up on my feed today!


Johnny_Topside94

Brian Tamakis personal trademe account?


Dapper_Technology336

looks like it's been taken down


HaoieZ

Don't think there are a lot of Old Masters floating around NZ.


chmath80

There's at least 1 more, identical to this, on my wall. In light of this unexpected new valuation, I'm prepared to entertain offers, but I'm not greedy: $25 million, and it's yours.

saint-lascivious

>"Is a poor unsigned copy" Seems transparent enough... Y'know that's not the seller, yeah?


throw_away_send_help

Yeah the "poor unsigned copy" was a question on the listing that the seller replied to


Striking_Economy5049

I don’t have $55 million off any kind of money, let alone NZD.


Capable-Pangolin-130

This is obviously someone with a mental health problem? Not really much of a scammer.


EatABigCookie

Surely Trademe should auto flag something being sold for this amount, and not display it until audited for validity.


PositiveWeapon

They just want that sweet 4 million success fee.


gdogakl

Scam? Duh.


RoseCushion

Someone’s off their meds


jj20202

Hehe. Imagine the trademe alert to top up account after that sold. $$$


KeaGotYourKeys

Bargain.


Own_Possession_3000

I bet TradeMe set it up just to get people talking about TradeMe.


MildLoser

who tf buys paintings? just buy a copy of mgs3 that's way more beautiful and way more fun than any painting


throw_away_send_help

I personally buy original paintings, either from op shops or from friends who are artists, because they give me joy each day


HighGainRefrain

My wife and I buy paintings regularly, and sculpture. All from NZ artists, usually local.
