I have sold quite a lot of both airgun and archery stuff on the Bay and other sales sites and I've been quite shocked at how often I get a message almost immediately along the lines of I/my son/my friend is a disabled ex-serviceman/has been injured in a road accident etc etc, can you sell me the item ridiculously cheap, or sometimes, just give it to me?
I always message back saying that if they give me more details, including names, I will consider it, which I would if it checked out. Surprise, surprise, no one has ever replied. Not so much cheeky as disgusting...
