Sinister idea - Defeat - 05-30-2022
I don't recommend anyone to do this, it's just beyond greedy but an observation I made in my last few sales... No one ever checks the product right then and there. Perhaps it's just me, but that's almost always the case. Sold a phone and the guy looked at it, saw it was sealed (said, "oh it's still sealed I forgot"), paid me, and walked away. If you're a dick, use the sealed method and I almost guarantee you'll get away with it. I thought about it some more and I'm the same way when buying shit, I will buy it, look at the condition of the package/item, go home and leave it sitting for weeks before ever checking it out. I'm surprised no one's scammed me, they would've gotten away with it no issues. Anyway, food for thought, don't do this. It's a double dip that's probably not worth it.

It's not a good sport to SE individual people. They only try to get their food on the table by the end of the day as you.
Rather go for big companies.

You'd have to be sure there aren't cameras wherever you meet up, and the account/phone number you list the item from can't be tracked to you. Or else the police will get involved and find you if you're dumb.

I'll never SE a regular person for my own gain, but that's indeed true, I once sold my old G29 to some guy and it wasn't even sealed and I'm not even joking, legit the guy only checked the box because I told him to...

True. Most people are just too shy or apologetic to check the box. Exactly the reason why I low-key pressure them to open it in front of me wether it's sealed or not. It establishes trust, shows them everything is in order, and it protects me from them saying I sold them an empty box.
