This is an email conversation screwing around with people on classified ad's
Original Ad: "Free Panasonic stereo; comes in 3 separate pieces (2 speakers plus stereo unit) - radio still works (with multiple settings) as well as dual-cassette deck. Perfect for spare room, garage, basement, etc.
First come, first-serve; pick-up only. Email me & we can set up a time if you'd like to swing by & get it!"

Hi, I've been looking online for a free stereo for forever. It's so cool that I just found one. Is it possible you could you ship it to me? I know your ad says pick up only but I really need this. I will be willing to pay any price for you to ship this free stereo for me. I can't believe that I have finally found a free stereo, its going to save me so much money. Is it still available? Could you get back to me ASAP, thanks.
Katy to me
Hello -
I am in Queens, so if you like, you can pick it up...sorry, but I'm not shipping anywhere - thanks for reading!
Mark to Katy
Ok, can I have someone else pick it up and then I send you the money?
Katy to me
Sure, if you'd like to have someone else pick up & they can ship it to you, that's not a problem...just let me know when & what time and they can come & get it -
btw, what did you want to pay? I can offer it for a nominal fee; thanks!
Mark to Katy
Dear Cathy,
I am in great need of this free stereo. My friend lives just outside of Queens, so could you bring it to her? Then she will bring it to my friend in Brooklyn who will travel by taxi to my friend in Rochester who will then ship the stereo to the Bahamas, where I have sent a man there to wait for the package. I will then have him fly back, with the stereo, to Queens, where I will be waiting at my original friends house for the stereo. This is necessary to tell you because you will need to know my itinerary, I will be visiting your house to personally say thank you for the stereo. I will then open my pocketbook and give you your nominal fee. When you are delivering the stereo to my friends house, she will ask you a question to ensure that this is in fact the free stereo opposed to a full priced Best Buy stereo. The answer to the question will be "this is a Best Buy stereo". Thanks again.
Katy to me
Your itinerary is ridiculous, why would anyone possibly do that? I gave the stereo away its no longer for sale to you. goodbye.
