Soliciting of any kind on Reddit is against the rules, but it absolutely still happens in private[1] and very much in public in posts displaying t-shirts[2], posters, mugs, prints, stickers - basically anything saying “look at my cool stuff” or similar. Why you should not buy T-shirts/hoodies/mugs linked in comments.[3] Don’t be tempted by anything you see because you run the very real risk of being scammed[4] along with getting yourself permabanned from the sub along with the OP and all the other replies. If you really REALLY want that thingy, you should try to find a reputable dealer elsewhere. Or Amazon.

Some interesting reads on Reddit about scams are this AMA with an Internet scammer[5] and when someone asked Reddit if anyone had ever been scammed[6] it prompted over 8,000 comments.
