No I don’t think so. He just couldn’t find the Marketplace. I tipped him off and cleaned up the thread.

Thanks @neph93 … let’s see if he posts in the marketplace again!

Emailed them and got back this to my Gmail:

I responded back about color and pics. I think I'm gonna ride this out and troll them for a bit.

Do it. Ask for pictures, more measurements, does their Mum know what they are looking at on the internet, that kind of thing.

"Not totally set on the 13, might also be interested in some similar ones that are close to it, like the 12.9, 13.1, 13.2"

"You said it was 23.9 chest, but the site says 23.8, can I get a video of you measuring so I can make sure you're measuring it right?"

I told them I wasn't able to text to their email, since I don't think it's included in my plan. But that they could fax my email at yourbuddy@theinternet.biz

[Skylersdad]

Hasn't your uncle got a great email address they send it to? 

I wonder if these are the same clowns who are now spamming with poorly hidden advertising in appraently relevant posts. I deleted/banned five of these in the last week.
