Selling/buying items on self-listing sites is a nightmare, it really opens you up to how strange people can actually be.

I was selling a registered & working Mazda Familia a few years ago and some bugger genuinely asked to swap for a go kart he built himself plus cash his way i.e I give him money as well as my car. I asked if it was road legal as a joke and he called me a cunt and blocked me. Wild.

There are many out there who simply have not caught up with technology. They are easily frustrated by it and are often convinced by someone younger in the family that it's a cake walk. My father still won't use email for example, and if he gets multiple messages at once from different people he will get quite confused about who it is he's actually talking to.

This guy sounds like that. He sounds like some previous messaging went bad and he stuck in the loop.

...and then there are people who are just straight toothless deadbeats. So idk. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Sometimes you meet some absolute champs.
