Or was that just a throwaway statement
EDIT: nvm literally says at the bottom of the page
A spammer added a bunch of fake listings, which have since been removed.
Sorry about that.
- should be a [Show HN]
- two plausibly real listings, neither of which is a deal ($700 aeron which are $540 new, 8 year old alexa for $25)
- many spam/joke listings, and 1 of the 2 real listings is a joke (the aeron)
- there's plenty of real sites for this
- "Built with Cursor by Heshie Brody (on @heshiebee also Stop Being Broke)"
- Comments not pointing these things out are odd in a way that is strongly indicative of spam
-- "will you open source it?" (I rarely see this on HN, and makes ~0 sense in this context)
-- "have you considered making a startup for this?" (the website purports to be a business?)
* On search listings, make clicking anywhere in the rounded-rectangle for the search hit go to the details view. (Actually, maybe make the whole rectangle a hyperlink, so people can middle-click and do all the normal browser link things with it.)
* On the detail view, there's no obvious button to go back to the search view. Even if you support old-school browser back feature, which is commendable, you might want to also have a button/link.
* On the detail view, the Twitter/X logo button in the upper right corner of the window almost looks like a close-window X like we see on some other sites for going back to the search view.
* You might want to make a clear argument for why people should use this instead of a liquidator, eBay, CraigsList, Facebook Marketplace, etc. (As a buyer, I'm thinking maybe I can find a deal here because there's not many other buyers. But as a seller who just lost their startup, I'd be thinking what's the easiest way to make these Aeron chairs and standing desks go away, with money a second priority, since there are better uses of my time and storage space.)
* You have a spam.
These are the kinds of small issues which compound into a shitty product that you get from wholesale relying on AI.
(Personally I can't sit in the Aeron, the mesh causes my hamstrings to explode in pain, so I could care less that I have a Herman Miller dealer in town.)

Is better written as: I built a website named VcSubsidized.com for failed startups goods
& this whole post seems like a slight joke / promo for it.
