Looks like from some of these replies that the Reddit folks made their way to HN.
Got any examples?

They do but in this day and age the information asymmetry is not that huge or isn't there anymore (depending on the customer). They put up a good face to hook you in. My experience is that they become less enthusiastic (to say the least) once they know that their "sales" force powers will not work on you.
Yeah, having someone forward you MLS listings does not exactly justify a five-figure payment.
No but having one who knows the law, all the little things to look for, and fights for you even while you are signing paperwork is worth it. (Our realtor was awesome and totally worth the money, at least as a first time buyer).

Your realtor doesn't fully "know the law" and you can get in trouble assuming they do.

USA, land of the useless middleman
I think market should decide if it's useless, not government rule. I would never buy a car without trying it first. Italian dealers may take care of your old car, if you have one and don't want to sell it by yourself.
