I've bought/sold many things on fb groups and CL and I'm selling some airsoft stuff; Was a big thing back then, adults and all playing, now mostly kids. Anyways, I've posted both on CL and FB an item I have for 50~, 16 kid messaged me saying let's do if for 20 bucks, I say fine you gotta pick it up or pay for shipping. I'm in la, this kid is in Anaheim or whatever which about 30-40~ drive so I'm not making my money's worth so I said If I drive you pay 50. Then he says well I'm broke but I really want it etc. I disregard and wait for him to say fine ship it. Then he asks for my ID, with the item next to it with todays date. He already knows my name on fb, I'm not gonna do that so I took a pic of the item next to my desktop screen with today's date opened up. Then he thinks I photoshopped it so he wants a pic of me holding it with today's date.
I've never ever had anyone ask for so much "reassurance", I asked him if I can talk to his parents because you have to be 18+ to purchase it and so on. He stopped replying.
Next day I get a email from CL reply asking for same product. Yeah yeah, 40? Sounds good. He wants to meet at a public place in Tustin; 1 hr away, can we ship or meet half way? Nope doesn't drive and I might be a scammer. Let's use paypal, oh I don't believe in that. It's like are you serious, how do you get around then lol. I give him my number to make things faster, and he says no I'll stay on here I don't want to give you my number, oh okay, he takes 2 days at a time to reply, so I say, why don't you use a texting app of a gmail number, nope I can't. I later find out it's the same kid. At the time my e30 dashboard was apart I didn't want to my 370z there. Anyways, I tell him I'm giving you 2 options. I ship, via paypal, so your protected and at anytime feel free to file a claim, or I drive there and you pay premium. Oh you know what I went to 7-11 and bought stuff so I gotta save up 2 weeks from now. Omg. I gave up. It sits here. Yeah my point was, I understand a pic of an item might not be the real thing but all these things this kid did, he got sketched when I had to talk to his parents or paypal. Anyone had a crazy experience?
