Sold my old car that had 260,000+ miles on Facebook last week for cash to a Hispanic lad. Another dude that had messaged me before it sold asked if it was still available today as he saw it relisted on another site. This guy was nice enough to send me the listing and there are some distinguishing features that I was able to confirm it was my old vehicle.

It's now listed with far less miles and as a 4 wheel drive and the profile picture of the seller is a white guy. In a word, fraudulent and the dumbass is only selling it for $800 more than I sold it to him for.

Not my problem, I suppose, but someone is about to get scammed. I guess there's nothing really I can do about it.

Edited to add: I have the guys phone number and I know it's legit because he texted me a picture while we were there making the deal

One of my coworkers listed shite on Craigslist, another coworker talked him down on the price.

The next day the second coworker2 sold the stuff on Craigslist for a profit. Coworker 1 was livid.

I would troll them and ask to meet up and say you thought it was a great buy since it had so many less miles and also a 4x4.

I had a guy reach out to me about a car I was selling last year telling me that he would only pay a max of $500 under what I was asking because that way he could make money by flipping the car.

I admired the transparency, but kindly told him to frick off.

No, that's SuperSaint.

He'll be here shortly with some outdated meme or gif. One trick pony.
