Some people believe the best revenge is simply letting things go, but others take a more creative route.

When one seller tried to waste a buyer’s time for a better deal, they had no idea the tables were about to turn.

Read on for the full story!

Seller had my cousin and I drive an hour for a sale, cancels sale. I made seller drive 2 hours for nothing and cousin ends up winning big time.

About 5 years ago, my cousin who was stationed in the Air Base decided to live with us.

He loves to shop around, and according to him, things are cheaper down here.

The cousin had his eyes set on a deal for some copper wire.

So one day he comes to me and asks if I want to drive down an hour to pick up a bundle of 12-2 copper wire.

Can’t remember the quantity, but it was more than 15.

At the time, we were working on my house doing small projects, and we saw how the price of things was creeping up, so he wanted to buy before they got insanely expensive—which they did.

But it soon became clear this seller wasn’t trustworthy.

So we drive down about an hour, and the seller texts my cousin and tells him that the deal is off and someone else is paying “top dollar.”

My cousin is ticked off at this point, and we drive back.

He asks me to stop at a convenience store to buy a couple of beers.

He was angry, and then he was bummed out.

Then they come up with an idea to get back at him.

So I told him: What if I make him drive up an hour to make him waste his time?

Not long ago I bought something off OfferUp as well, and the Home Depot we met up at came to mind.

They bait the seller, then follow through with the rest of the plan.

So I text the guy, offered close to full price for them.

He got excited—he replied seconds after every text.

He texts me saying he’s at the Home Depot, and I block him.

He messages my cousin to ask if he’s still interested.

My cousin says yes, but for slightly less money.

The guy drives the wire to my house, unloads it for my cousin, and leaves.

Cousin wasn’t sad anymore.

Now that’s how you fight wire with wire.

What did Reddit have to say?

This user would have taken the revenge a step further.

The look on his face must have been priceless.

There seems to be some missing context here.

The seller wasted his own time and still got paid less!

In the end, the wire was delivered and the seller never knew what hit him!
