I haven't sold anything online for years, but back when I'd try to sell something on Craigslist this was exactly the kind of thing I would get.
And if it wasn't them, it was the serial hagglers.
I could be selling a brand new porche for $1 and I'd get someone trying to negotiate down to $0.90
One dude agreed to buy something, then told me I had to drive 2 hours to sell it to him because he was 4 hours away. It was a $50 item
Edit: it was weird that about half the time when someone would agree to buy something they'd stop replying or just send back "don't need it" or something.
Imma put this here
"You are fat and ugly anyway, it's not like I would've even wanted to date you!!!"
Oh man, exactly!
My best story and I think it's long lost to time is I tried to transfer a lease on a car. Had some dude tell me he would pay the lease but I could keep the car under my name and insurance. No amount of back and forth was explaining to him why that was utterly insane for me to do.
I sold a treadmill online - the woman gave me the money, then started ignoring me. It took her 3 weeks to come pick it up.
