no, securities aren't the same as retail products


Most things are different from each other. Why does that difference matter in this case? It looks a lot like traders trading in a market. That isn't manipulation.


A graphics card is non-fungible due to depreciation from use.


That isn't so; I looked up an RTX 4090 on Ebay [0]. The only information I see related to depreciation is "Used: An item that has been used previously" and a representation from the seller that they weren't using it for crypto, suggesting that the seller (and the buyer; this looks like a standard graphics card listing to me) are treating used graphics cards as fungible.

That might be so, but the original comment wasn't talking about "securities manipulation", just "manipulation".


only if you take it entirely out of the context in which it's in, which is the comment section on an article about securities
