But then I noticed something curious. The book was last available on 24 March 2020 on eBay from the same seller account. While MA uses private listings, you can still match user IDs from the first and last letters of the hidden ID. The chances of getting random matches is likely to be low based on how varied user IDs are on the platform. Private listings are ideal for sellers who may be shill bidding or up to something nefarious, so I wouldn't rule out something underhand going on. Bragging about a sold out book is typical snake oil salesman tactic to then up sell a far more expensive product (report or WEC) - human psychology again.

And it looks like the following buyers purchased MA's book again, on the 20 April AND managed it within the small 15 minute time window they had before the book sold out:

1***1
c***a
e***c
e***t
f***e
h***a
i***r
i***s
l***e
t***t

Ask yourself if this sounds feasible, where so many (10) of the same buyers of the book from 24 March would all be around on 20 April, for those brief 15 minutes, to buy the book again?

Those probably are friends and family helping things along.

Searching "Manipulating the World Economy" reveals additional sellers selling more than 10 copies, more expensive than the original. Looks like a pyramid scheme in its own right.
