Default dealeing with local scammers ( cragislist)

so i was looking for some lowering springs for my civic. found some on craigslist. the kid who was selling them, i reconized his email cuz he replys to alot of my post, but never buys anything. anyways, he had the spribngs listed for $85. he told me he had the springs when he wanted to buy my hx rims. he offered them to me for $50. so after awhile of going back and fourth through email i finally got him to meet up with me. it was cold and at night so i really dident sit out there and inspect them to good (my fault). the next morning when i went to go put them on my car i realized that they where eiabach/groundcontorl coilover spring and not 2" drop springs like he told me several times they where. so i emailed him several times and got no answer. he usues his side kick for phone, text email and aim so i know he get my messages. so i emailed him about some other stuff he had for sale from a different email account and got a instant answer. he even im me on my other screen name to sell me the stuff. so then i finally get an answer on my normal account saying that this was his brother and he is in jail. i know he is lieing, ------- *** is just setting himself up for an *** whooping

and yes, he is a ------!

I have cheap eBay quality coilover sleeves you can have for the price of shipping. I lag on shipping, it'd be about two weeks before you saw them.

Alternately, depending on their rate I might buy those springs off of you. Can you read me the numbers on them?

You should break up sentences and use gramatical structure...or cliff notes.
