I was selling a trailer on the recycler and as usual you get these floks who wanna give more money than your asking . So I told one guy "Sure , send me a cheque and I wont give you shit. " So next thing you know I have check for $10,000 .
I kept asking the guy to call me if he wanted me to proceed . I got 5 calls in a row from a blocked number . He then E-mails me sayin that he called and I didnt answer . Of course not , your fukin number is restricted dumbshit ! I asked him to call back the next day and I ended up getting a call from some guy who spoke good english with an accent . After a little bit he asked me if I spoke spanish . I said "Si ablo espaniol , y un chingo . Digame con que le puedo ayudar . " He starts goin into some shit about only wanting the axles for an exsisting trailer he has . He kept low balling me and eventually told him to kick rocks until he was able to pay what I wanted .
Of course I didnt cash the cheque , and the guy kept harrasing me through E-mails . At one point he said if I didnt follow through he was gonna call the FBI on me . I resonded with " Call the FBI , I'll be sure to give them the check you sent me while they're here ." Of course after our phone conversation which he never mentioned it was him , he was never heard from again . Anyone else ever tried some shit like this ?

So you advertise a trailer and they want to pay you more than what you're asking? ???
-
And then the line goes . "I will arrange to have my associate go and pick up the item , at which point you will give the rest of the money less your payment to my associate ." Or something to that affect.

This has happened a few times on Ebay as well. Its complete BS.
Pretty bad that you have to watch who you sell your stuff to nowadays, could come back to haunt you :o

i keep getting those e-mails too, since my boat "IS STILL FOR SALE"....i like messing with them...cause anybody w/ brains (in america) wants to grind u down on your price, everybody wants a deal....
the last on i got we sent 10 e-mails back and forth...they started the same old way...they will send me a overpayment check and they will set up the shipping...i e mailed the guy back telling him i only take cash..even though it has the price 3 times in the add, wanted to know how much..so i said 1,000,000 belize pesos(a small central american country) in cash , cause i have a offshore account there.>>>LOL>>>.didnt seem to faze the guy, wanted to send me 1,000,000 cheque in american dollars, i still told him cash only again in pesos and gave him the belize currancy conversion ...finally after the 10th e-mail he stopped bugging...gotta have a little fun sometimes

Same here when I was selling my Caribbean. Then to my buddy when he was trying to sell his Blower Shop blower/manifold.

I always ignored those e-mails when I was selling the motorcycle.
But give me a telemarketer and I'll mess with those guys until I get tired or they hang up. I'll ask about the weather, I'll ask them to send me a local newspaper, anything I can think of to keep them from talking about what there selling >:D
The best ones came when I had my race team listed as a business and I would get calls trying to sell me credit card machines. I'd tell them I would consider one if they would sponsor my race team, that way I could use there machine to run there credit card to fund my racing... It would take about 30 seconds of me trying to sell sponsorship before they would hang up ;D

My wife advertises her day care openings on Craig's List and gets people from overseas wanting to do the same kind of thing. We will send you a large payment up front, just give us your bank information. I played along with one for a while, except for giving the bank information, with phone calls and such. They got angry after a while and stopped calling.
