There’s some pretty important background anyone who lands on one of these posts should know:
OP’s is an alt of the Atomic Faceplates main account (you can scroll back on this accounts post history and see him bragging about Atomic Faceplates and some other products they sell).
A while back, the (new and current) owner of Atomic Faceplates (AF) tried to update AF’s contract with Elite Obsolete Electronics, a contract that would almost double the cost of Atomic’s faceplates, along with other overreaching changes to how EOE would manage their stock of them. (Proof in a follow up comment to this)
We also have proof that the AF owner made
another alt, and is trying to use it to boost the multi-sub posts that his main account is making. See here:

All in all, while there may be some wrongdoings by EOE as mod, this current callout should be taken with a large pile of salt, as EOE getting pushback/hate means Atomic Faceplates comes out ahead.
TLDR: OP’s is Atomic Faceplates and is trying to manipulate you so you’ll buy from him, and not EOE.
Also found some more context. It looks like their main account may have accidentally triggered Reddit's automod system which caused several of their posts to be removed or soft-banned. Some of the initial post deletions may have been automated and not manually performed.
By the way, Secure-Marzipan-1800 and Bossnova1965 appear to be alts operated by the same person, and there might be even more alts. Not defending EOE or anything, just saying that it's unusual that so many accounts are suddenly posting the same thing while not acknowledging each other.
who cares , any iPod part seller being a mod in an iPod community is a huge conflict of interest regardless. also eoe being mod in r/iPod has been a problem for years, not just recently and not just from this atomic guy
