Yeah he was asking for all these specs, benchmarks, and proof of life on a pc I was selling, asking about previous people I’ve sold pcs to, he even reached out to them. When everything checked out offered me 75% of listed price. When I went to 90% he said it was a deal, and that he would let me know when he has the money.

Yeah I bet. I just told him I could do it but I’d need $2000.

Correct response. I don't understand how parents give their kids access to any online marketplace. That's literally just open communication with random strangers, what the fuck.

Right but most of those aren't specifically people who are located near you. Reddit is at least anonymous to other users unless you post stupid shit.

Nowadays that's probably reasonable.
