Default Competitor is targeting me or just paranoid

So i just had these two buyers buy all my stock of this particular item.
Both live in the same town and checking their names they seems to be related or used to live together.

When i added more quantity same buyer bought double again!

What do you guys this i should do?
Amount i around 200$ total.

Honestly I don't think there's much you can do. They paid, ship out the stuff and see what happens. Are you 100% sure they are Competitors?

There are items i can buy up and tripple my money on if I wanted to invest the time/money. Maybe your item is just underpriced and they know they can sell it for more? One item in particular some sellers sell for $25.. which is a fair price. However this guy in California I believe is buying them all up... and selling them for $75

I wouldn't worry about it. I buy like this all the while. It may be they've found a niche / future hot item etc or even they need that stock off the market asap so they can readvertise much higher on its own or along with another item. Personally I'd contact them and offer all the rest of my stock at a slight discount so everyone wins. You get a cash injection to move on to another line and they get to corner the market as they likely wish to do.

Agreed ninja1974. This is not uncommon. Pretty much spot on.
