Facebook Marketplace is full of low-ballers, swindlers, and flagrant upsellers. 

Although it’s an excellent place to get a deal on some used furniture, lightly used electronics, or even a new baseball bat for your kid, you unfortunately have to deal with the marketplace regulars to do so. Sifting through the riff-raff of humanity can sometimes cheapen a good deal, but when you’re faced with the most absurd swindlers in the biz, you have to be ready for whatever guilt-trips, sad stories, or pathetic tales they’re willing to tell to get $20 off. 

This unwitting person was trying to sell a used couch online. Guilty about throwing the perfectly good furniture away, they listed it online for $50—a steal in the couch world. But the choosing beggar that came out of the woodwork to buy the couch not only tried to haggle her way into a 40% discount, but also free delivery. 

Because we all know that a couch would never fit on a bicycle, even for the most determined low-budget buyer.
