If you thought that Pizzagate, which resulted in a man coming from North Carolina and firing his rifle in the pizza parlor, was crazy, this conspiracy that has gained some traction takes the cake. Because of some overpriced items on their site that also have names that are the same as some missing, or mistakenly believed to be missing children, Wayfair is thought to be masking the selling of children with unusually expensive furniture.

I remember when I saw this, my initial reaction was, "This is bullshit, unless Wayfair was allowing third parties to sell like Amazon does, and some criminals were using it to sell other things."
Aside from the obvious absurdity, my bullshit detector went off because massively overpricing things as "$9,999" is a common tactic on such sites when they are out of stock of a certain item, but don't feel like having to delete and repost the listing when the item comes back in.
