Internet sales part 2

Previous reports about internet sales can be read here: At long last... the pleasure of shopping online and Selling thing online. The following is a translation.

Carolin 20 August 2019
Still available

SA 20 August 2019
Yes, still available :-)

Carolin 20 August 2019
Could you bring it?

SA 20 August 2019
Why can't you get it?

(If I had gotten a reasonable reply that it was a disabled person or an old person within my area, I may even have brought it, but I didn't get any reply whatsoever.)

Selling things online

And here's another (translated) sale/message history from that online selling platform. If you haven't read my first post about this, you can find it here: At long last... the pleasure of shopping online. "SA" is me, as you can probably tell.

Bubé 12 August 2019
Hello, that's looking good, can I have it tomorrow?
Best regards

SA 12 August 2019
Hello, yes that would be ok. Greetings

Bubé 12 August 2019
Can I get it tomorrow at around 7 pm?

SA 12 August 2019
Yes, that's ok.

Bubé 14 August 2019
Hello, sorry for the late reply, I wasn't able to get there yesterday.
Can I get it today, in 1 hr?
Best wishes

SA 14 August 2019
Hello, I didn't read that on that short notice, because I was busy outside of the internet. How about tomorrow? Greetings

Bubé 14 August 2019
Ok, how about tomorrow about 6 pm?

SA 14 August 2019
Yes okay

Bubé 15 August 2019
Hello, I'm just coming from work,can I come there now?
I would like to have the address.
Best regards

SA 15 August 2019
Hello, I was away myself up until now, because I didn't get a message before 6 pm. If it's not too late, we could meet today. (I gave my address and which name to ring the bell). When would you roughly be here?

Bubé 15 August 2019
It  is ok if I'm there at 08:50 pm?

(Not even waiting for a reply from me, he followed this with two other messages pretty much all back to back)

Bubé 15 August 2019
Then I'll start going now, I'll take the bike

Bubé 15 August 2019
I'm already on the way

SA 15 August 2019
You're on your way now already ;-)

(Shortly after the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, I could hear someone talk in a language I didn't understand or recognise. When I was able to see the person, I saw just one man, no companion, but in conversation with someone over his headset. I lifted the water-boiler in my hand and he searched for the money to give to me. We exchanged the water-boiler and money. When I went back to my laptop I read the following message.)

Bubé 15 August 2019
Right:)
I couldn't go there, so a friend of mine got it. Thank you.
Best regards

(I thought of the advice on the internet to never ever agree to "my friend will get it", because "my friend" could be someone, who hacked the messages and just for fun gets the thing as a supposed friend. So I couldn't resist writing one last message. I didn't get further messages.)

SA 15 August 201
What? You wrote to me you're on your way to get it and then it was a friend? Ok, as long as I've got my money... Have fun with the water-boiler, if you get it...
