For example, right now XMR is $215 USD/XMR, but there’s an offer listed at $210/XMR and another one at $213/XMR. This seems to happen relatively frequently. Anyone know why this is?

    Because cold hard cash has more value to the buyer then other forms of payment and they are willing to give a premium for it.

      OK, I guess I’ll take your word for it, but XMR never was offered for less than market value for cash by mail trades on localmonero.co.

        they could be scammers offering a good deal

        they could just be trying to encourage customers to get used to the new system

        they could just really need cash right now

        could be a old listing, and if you try to trade they will cancel and relist at the current rate

        lots of reasons

          Isn’t this kind of a bullshit reason akin to a “bait and switch” offer that would make people hesitant to use RetoSwap?
