Possibly Racist Facebook Marketplace Question

So, I am about as left as possible. I don't care what any of you say or think about liberals. No offense meant by that.

I am looking for a new car for my daughter who is a junior at NWMST. I have been looking on Facebook Marketplace, and there are so many cars posted by people with Latino and Middle Eastern sounding last names, and they often have several cars listed, but don't appear to be advertising on behalf of a dealership.

Why? Are these postings legitimate? Maybe I am crazy, but I was just browsing and out of 20 cars I looked at, not a single one was posted by a regular sounding American or European name. There were no Smiths, which is the most common last names in the United States. There were no Johnsons, or Jones, Williams, or Browns, Jacksons, or Andersons, etc. Instead there were Acosta, Hasanin, Mrayyan, Rangel, Valdez, etc. It just strikes me as strange that most of these people also have multiple vehicles listed for sale,without the appearance of being a car dealer.

So, being the left of the middle person that I am, I feel sorta bad about asking this question, like I am judging people by their race based on their last name, but I think Chiefsplanet has a diverse group members with no shortages of opinions, and with knowledge in many different areas.

So, can anyone answer the questions? Since I haven't posted since last year, and haven't visited in a few months, there may be some new protocols I am breaking, or more additions to the lexicon I should be siting. I mean, I just looked through some threads and didn't see a single your and idiot, or antifreeze, or aids tree referenced.

For the tl;rd crowd, why are so many people with foreign sounding names selling multiple cars on Facebook Marketplace?

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't even buy from Facebook marketplace. I've had decent experience with Craigslist still. Of course not every vehicle came out perfect, but they've gotten me by. If anything ask people you know more personally or on your friends list if they're selling a car or know a good guy who has one for sell.

Thanks for the response. I don't really need car buying advice, as I have plenty of experience buying cars. I was asking what's up with Facebook Marketplace having a seemingly disproportionate amount of cars listed by people with non-traditional sounding American names. Is there some scam taking place, some sort of incentive program to sell cars, or whatever. It just strikes me as odd for an individual to have 10 cars listed for sale.

But I was sincere when I said thank you for the response.

I think conservatives don't feel like there as anything wrong with questioning a person's intent when they sound like they are not originally from this country, or even if they are from this country but have a last name that sounds like it belongs to a non American.

Oh as far as that goes I have no idea. I tend to ignore the marketplace stuff when I log in to FB. But that's an interesting observation. I guess we'll see if others have noticed the same.

Well my general rule of thumb is that if something online seems like a scam and you feel like you are noticing some red flags, avoid it.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't contact any of them. But that's weird right? A bunch of young millennial types with multiple car listings.

I know a lot of people think Facebook Marketplace is safer because you can see people's profiles, but I had a friend, who through 6 degrees of separation, knew someone, or heard of someone who was scammed purchasing a big LED TV. The box looked perfect, brand new with no signs of distress, and it seemed to be the correct weight, but when they opened it when they got home, it was just a couple of pieces of cheap plywood. And the Facebook account had been taken down.

Hmmm... I wonder if my ethnic sounding name would bother you, since I'm white.

However I can tell you that I once built a pool for very rich guy who's entire job was this:

He would buy cars, clean them up, and resell them for a profit. He was always selling multiple cars.

He would always remove the seats entirely to clean them up. Over the 30+ years he did the work he found tens of thousands of dollars worth of loose change.

It's not out of the question that these men operate a similar enterprise.

Having said that, if you're unsure, just walk away. Find a white guy named 'Jones' to buy from if that makes you feel better.
