What blows my mind is that you feel justified in being a petty vigilante, taking justice on your own hands. Someone being a dick does not entitle you to "troll" them. There's no more to it.
Really, the man is a dick, he takes advantage of people but that doesn't mean you have to lower yourself to his level. There are better ways to do this than "trolling", if much less satisfying.

The real problem with your brand of vigilante justice is that you don't do enough. You're going to mess with this guy but he'll be back on the streets in no time. If you really want justice you'll take care of things permanently.
I might be excited about marathoning Daredevil Season 2.

Still reading through this if someone had pointed it out.
Thats a pic of my wife and kid lol. She sent me a facebook message, so that is her message bubble that pops on my screen. So it got in on the screenshots I was taking. They are my same shelves seen in the pics.
HAHAHA! Good setup when I mistake your game room for retail shelves
Haven't seen a pic of your better half & kiddo since she was born. Good looking family man.

But Daredevil doesnt kill remember? And sadly I am out of practice in my martial arts skills
Hmm finally there Popo has a point, you need to do something more permanent and damaging to the guy to really teach them a lesson other than time wasting.
You've got various bits of contact information and through that also dug up a business name, an address, and it's contact information as well. Perhaps something smart would be to start a regular posting on craigslist in various areas this guy would be advertising in. Since Craigslist allows up to 12 images last I checked, you could share the conversation and show that he's a predatory crook that tries to rob people of the value of their product and shoots even lower when knowing the potential seller is under mental (or perhaps financial) distress to take advantage of their misery. Have that up there every allowable day to re-fresh your post so it's drawing attention to the creep. If you're going to cause pain, do it to the wallet and reputation, not on the time wasted. If you cared to go further, there's always google reviews, yelp, etc you could tie back to the business.
The way I see it if you honestly want justice post warnings on Craigslist alongside his ads. If you were truly worried about people getting ripped off that would make 100x more sense then trying to justify any form of trolling.
Trolling just isn't something I could ever see in a positive light no matter how people try to spin it, and all it ends up doing is making people more salty.

Who said I was or should be doing something positive?
We should all strive to do good things simply because they are good; likewise, we should all strive to avoid doing harm to anyone when we can. That's just part of common civility.

This Tannerism in Jmustang's post is too funny. I have been dethroned.
