So I'm TRYING to sell my couches because we saw this awesome vintage sofa over the weekend and I hate my couches anyway.
I have them listed on LetGo and Craigslist and OfferUp and no one is biting. One person wanted the rug. I don't even have that rug anymore.

Anyway, This woman has got to be the dumbest box of rocks on the dumb box of rocks shelf.

She sends this:

Thanks for for your reply and sorry for the late reply, according to
the description pasted on the site, am okay with the price, I will
like to send you the payment asap, I will be making payment via
CERTIFIED CHECK, that is the only convenient means for me and due to
my work frame, and i promise everything will go smoothly. and i will
wait for the PAYMENT to cleared with your bank before arranging for
the pick up. I'll be offering you extra $50 to your money as the best
offer and i hope you will keep this item for me. I will be glad to
have your information to facilitate the mailing of the check asap.

Full Name.
full Address.
Cell #.
Actual price.

The payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make
arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and
cashed the payment.
THANKS..

Seriously? So I reply with this

I’m sorry, but this just stinks and I’m flagging it as a scam.
Too many things don’t check out and I’m not giving you any information. You already know the actual price.
You’re not getting my phone number nor my address.
I don’t even think you’re in the United States.

And just to be clear, Those 2 dogs in the photo are PIT BULLS. If you intended to rob me (should I have been so stupid as to fall for your bullshit), you should PRAY that I get you with my GUN before those dogs get to you as a bullet would be more merciful.

I'm not so sure I would feel sorry for anyone who falls for shit like this these days. You mean to tell me you're going to buy my couches for an extra $50 sight unseen and wait for the check to clear before I let you have them? idiot

Oh and these are my couches.

$300 for the pair that originally cost me over $1500.

That's a damn deal for a pair of La-Z-Boy couches that are well taken care of.

Ah good old CL. When my mother-in-law moved to Maryland, we sold off a lot of her current stuff, just so we wouldn't have to ship it. Really nice master bedroom set and a china cabinet. The scammers were all over it. Several with the exact thing you posted. Was amazing. Eventually found some buyers that were serious. Then everything else went into the pod and off it went. I was glad that a friend bought the car, so we didn't have to CL it again...

The scammer was from LetGo. Sucks when they use gmail accounts too because I can't trace the originating IP address. Fuck Google.

It's not even worth a reply to those dumb fucks. Just flag them and move on.

I posted an ad, trying to lease some land for hunting. This guy e-mails me asking if I want to sell it. I really don't at the moment and I'm pretty sure he is one of these guys that buys splits and resells. I just don't want to deal with him.
So far I'm being nice, one or two more e-mails and he will get told to go screw.

Oh be more creative than that. String him along awhile. Make him meet you at all kinds of inconvenient times and places and get him drooling. Then tell him no and watch him cry.

I wouldn't sell unless I needed the money desperately. Sell it if you must long into your retirement because if he's one of those land flippers like you say, he may well put houses on it too. You do NOT want neighbors that close where you live. You have a nice spread that's peaceful and PRIVATE. Don't let some schmuck turn it into a mini-suburb.

Actually this piece of land is about an hour away from me. There is nothing but trees and bushes there and lots of state owned forest.
I should build a campground or something there.
