Hello!  SO what are you selling
I've got an Ottoman, so I hope you're in the market for an Ottoman.
An Ottoman what? Whatever. $140
At $140, would you be willing to come pick it up?
Sure why not.
Okay, great, because these days I feel paranoid any time I'm making a deal online.
That's normal, please accept
See, I feel like I'm being watched, and whenever I try to make a deal online, it seems to fall through unless I spend a LOT of time negotiating a price, and the details of the trade. I almost feel like I'm expected to spend 5-10 minutes on every trade? Do you ever get that feeling?
Not at all.  I suggest you seek help at a mental health professional immediately.  But not before mailing my Ottoman thingy to a neutral address
Sure, sure, I'd be happy to mail you the Ottoman.
