'Try to scam me? [...] I'll scam you back': Guy gets even with petty scammer after being sold broken furniture

It's always a risk when you're buying something from Marketplace. Like anything you purchase, you have to do your due diligence and assess the product carefully before going for it and making the purchase. Sometimes, we're overwhelmed and we forget to be careful when we buy products that appear to be perfectly fine.

This Redditor certainly acknowledges his own part in that when he bought a broken ottoman. That being said, when he tried to return said item, it became clear that the previous owner was well aware that it was falling apart. Furthermore, she made it increasingly difficult for the Redditor to return the item before canceling on him and then giving him a rough time over their direct messages. Well, what this scammer did not realize was that two can play this game. That's when the original poster (OP) enlisted a friend to try to buy the item in order to get the original owner intrigued and money-hungry.

Keep scrolling below to see how the scammer managed to finally get the ottoman off his hands while enacting perfectly petty revenge on its original owner. For more stories like this, check out this post about the top HOA horror stories this week.
