That's some Sun Tzu level shit.
The best thing is when he doesn't find any of it, he'll likely assume other resellers have already found the loot.
Other options included giving him an address to a vacant for sale home. Or scheduling a neutral meet up to not show. Straight up just telling him he is crazy. Or keep delaying and stretching it out to see how far he takes it with tons of questions, delays, excuses etc...
Yeah but at this point if he really is a reseller on there, is it really mean at this point? I mean i get it, you want to make money and every thing off of what you have but those resellers just make me sick. I wouldn't go all out on it, but at least do the meet up thing, and if he does ask say you decided to not even bother and just donated the stuff to charity....

You should tell him you found a listing on Craigslist (his ad) where someone was asking $100 for an NES and a few games and ask him if he thinks those prices are fair market value.
1) Tell him you donated it all to charity instead of selling it.
2) Tell him you sold it all to a family friend for a few hundred bucks just to get rid of it.
3) Tell him you accepted an offer from someone else online for $1100, since that was higher than his best offer.
4) Tell him you are going to put it all on ebay instead to make sure you are getting the best offer possible. (that should really grind his gears)

I always have to laugh at ads like this. "Your stuff is a bunch of crap! Let me do you a favor and take it!" I dunno if I'd want anyone to "dog" something in my attic, however.
Honestly though, this guy may be a bit inept and has some chode-y tendencies but ultimately doesn't seem that nefarious. The fact that he has something of a legitimate antique-y business makes the whole thing less offensive for me. I would just drop it.

P.S. cute wifey phone pic.
I'd be more lenient if it wasnt for this:
I'm not in it to resell I collect them
Myself and never to profit but for the pure essence of collecting.
And then the messages were a tester. What offer would he make. And he went so ridiculously low and then kept lying about it and being deceiving. If he was more honest, I would've just been like fair enough, and dropped it.
P.S. thanks! She had sent me a Facebook message during the convos lol.

Haha, I like this one.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
I checked the Facebook page for his business and it does look like he is just selling his Nintendo dupes. 95% of the stuff he is selling is old furniture. He mentioned his ebay store on the Facebook page and I checked his sold auctions. There were only like 6 video game related auctions.
But yeah, he is definitely guilty of lowballing. I'm with BoneSnapDeez on this one. I'd drop it. He just doesn't seem worth the effort to me. To each his own though.
