I'm guessing the 'shop' or 'business' is phoney.
If real and stuff is actually bought, I guess the villains can sell new, unopened gear on eBay or the like - and they don't care how much they sell for, they just want $$$sss - a bit like burglars and the like.
About 15 years ago, I remember noticing a series (n = 8-10) of small (c.$20-30) transactions originating from QLD.
Curious, I looked up their phone number & called. I was on speakerphone with my wife.
What did they sell? Phone sex!
My wife thought it was hilarious - the second transaction on a given day always cost slightly more than the first - because, she surmised, it took the scammer longer to 'get his rocks off'...!!
