A person claims that having a rare Fortnite account is a way to attract girls and gain status. They notice people selling their accounts for ridiculous prices on eBay and decide to troll them by messaging the sellers. The person then starts a conversation with one seller, who is in a band and wants to sell their account to buy a new drum set. The person suggests a trade, offering three random Fortnite accounts in exchange for the seller's account. The seller agrees, and the person uses a random number generator to select the accounts, which the seller signs into and discovers they are not very valuable.
