Obviously you don't ignore the comments; you troll them. A good way to be hostile to new community members that might have more possibilities to buy these tablets (and possibly generate enough comments to be "worthy" and bring value to the community) is to chase away new community members who want to sell them.

Ignore whatever you want ... that is your perogative. But to actively discourage potential new members from buying a tablet by disparaging seller's reputations is damaging to the community you seem to value. So it is rather self-defeating.
