I've had people do that to me as well. I used to brew a lot of beer at home. I hurt my back and couldn't deal with lifting all the buckets full of water and grain anymore - too heavy now. So I listed the stuff for sale on several home brewing forums and locally on craigslist.

I had people sending emails through craigslist telling me they were under 21 and offering to buy the equipment. I don't know the exact law about home brewing, but I know you have to be 21 in this country to purchase alcohol or consume alcohol - so when johnny law sent me an email asking if I'd sell to a minor I just told him it was already legally sold to an adult over the age of 21.

I am always cautious of those types of emails. I also keep saltwater corals in my home aquarium and I sell them on craigslist for extra cash. I get emails from people asking me for illegally imported corals. Anybody in this hobby knows there's certain corals from certain oceans that you cannot import - it's illegal to collect them, transport them, import them into this country and sell them here. Everybody knows it.

So when johhny law sends me an email asking for illegal corals - I just tell them all my corals are legally imported and tank propagated by me.

They really do think we're stupid, don't they? :wtf: No sense in getting yourself in trouble over a couple hundred bucks.
