This could go the other way, too. Twice in the last decade or so I’ve sold a higher priced item that the buyer basically accused me of stealing from them. Got the whole, “where did you get these, why are you selling them, I just had mine stolen last week and then your listing popped up, where did you say you got them again, oh wow they look exactly the same as mine” and couldn’t buy a smile, friendly nod, or even a thank you from either of them lol.
Basically said lucky you that I’m selling them for less than brand new.
The first time I was pretty insulted. The second time I just thought it was funny that this was happening to me again.
But if they’d taken the items without paying I’d have zero issue calling the cops. Imagine getting something stolen from you and then being arrested for stealing them from someone else while the original thief gets away easy lol. Salt in the wound for sure.
