I assume you're the person selling the van, I'll be happy to accept the $2
it sounds like you've already found me Chris.
E-thuggery is less than a great way to sell your vehicle.

Chris, your goal is to sell the van, that's business. You asked about my name which is personal.
You seem confused.
A few quick spelling corrections below in blue, if you're going to flaunt your education and intellect it's a good idea to use correct spelling.

You misspelled my name. Trolling, trolling is the word you're looking for. Strolling is what distinguished
people do of an evening with their dogs.
Inquiring as to the price of your van (admittedly in a dickish fashion) is hardly trolling.
I've enjoyed our exchange Chris, I'm also interested in buying a van, that's why I emailed you to begin with.
You apparently became enraged with my offer, $1 is clearly too little.
So how much would you like for your van?

evidently the "Hanson" remark went way over the head... I do understand your name is Anson, I was also hoping for a better reply my man, been away at work all weekend and finally get to my email, and still no address. As far as the van goes, our email exchanges are quite hilarious and I have enjoyed it, not a time have I been mad about anything, this is just as much entertainment to me as to you. But on the otherhand.... probably wouldn't be the wisest decision to meet up in person, probably wouldn't end well with you. But if you still insist, the van is for sale for 2200 cash. Let me know whats up.

Thanks for finally getting me a price, I don't quite understand how you intend to sell the van by being vaguely menacing, best of luck with other potential customers.
- im gonna find you Anson
- anyways where can I drop your 2 bucks off at?
- Still waiting on that address?
