I have been earning just above the Plat level since retiring and in most years never got a 1K offer.

While there might be a total fool willing, such offers just make this promo look silly and easy to make a FT posting making fun of.
I agree with all of that. I hadn't thought about the plethora of "no offers" in previous years. A bean counter would say if you don't offer the giant price, you definitely won't sell it. The unintended consequences of the silly promo are much harder to measure.
