Subito, Vinted, FB Marketplace I'm tired

I've put on sale those torches

Fro mod. Beta Oxy Acetylene only straight cutting torch

Harris 43-2 handle and Harris 73-2 multigas cutting attachment.
First one cause I don't have any acetilene or wonder of getting set up on acetylene.
Secondo one cause I've got another 43-2 and 49 cutting attachment

and this one would mean having 3 combination torches more than what I'm ever going to use considering having an Harris 62 and a 62 style England made one.

Anyways got contacted by two potential customers in 24 hours.
Both asked for a video showing the torches all around.
Sent the videos...
Both asked my email address to complete the transaction...
Blocked and reported both.
I'm most likely going to keep them at this point.
Why's so hard to sell something today, buying was a problem but nowadays even selling is going to be dangerous.
Another chapter

This guy I've bought the 1kg lot is asking to send money directly to his IBAN
Another scam

This actually got me asked for proceeding outside Vinted cause they don't give physical money or usable money but in platform money.
Knowing that's true cause actually happened to me too.
I've proceeded after having a mini transaction Via Vinted to get almost free shipping from France.
4 days passed and no shipping notification so I've lost 70 euro.
Why why I ask myself there are so many cucumber heads out there.

i gave up trying to sell things online some time ago, even boot sales are full of scammers, i even tried donating some tools to a kid just starting out in the motor trade, he didnt bother picking them up, i spose thats why my garage is full of stuff i will never use again and i fear some perfectly good tools will end up as scrap cos they dont have "snap on" written on them ?

It's a shame, I'd seriously keep the 43-2 handle maybe for a rosebud but it has to go.
It's useful but how many torches I'm really going to need?
I'll keep my first combo torch cause it's a complete set for welding and cutting, the president torch is great because has 3/8 BSPT threads so I can hook it up to the machine shop carts if I need.
The latest one I've got is a complete set as well in pristine conditions and the Harris 62 is going in my workshop cause it has 9/16 threads as well as 43-2 handles in my other two combination torches.
I have good tools too that I most likely not going to use I'd rather prefer giving what I don't need to someone who actually need them honestly
