The content creator tried to negotiate a better price for a Fortnite account listed on eBay for $6,000. The account belonged to a 14-year-old who claimed it was worth that much due to its rare skins, including the Ghoul Trooper. The creator proposed a deal where he would give the teenager three random Fortnite accounts in exchange for the listed account. The teenager agreed, and the creator generated random numbers to determine which accounts to give. After the teenager received the accounts, the creator asked for the listed account, and the teenager agreed. The creator saved thousands of dollars by making the trade instead of buying the account.
