| Hello!
This post isn't to ask for help, but just to see if anyone else has experienced
this and/or knows why this might have happened.
I got two nearly identical messages from a user who wanted to see if they could
buy a set for less than what I had it listed for. Both messages were sent at
the same exact time. They asked for a flat price including shipping costs, and
it was the same price in both messages they sent to me. The odd thing about the
messages though was that for one message they wanted me to ship to one zip code,
and in the other message they wanted me to ship to a totally different zip code
(at least 1200 miles (2000 km) away from the previous zip code).
As I thought the price I had listed the set for was reasonable, I politely declined
their offer. I have not heard anything back from them so far.
Any insight would be appreciated, and feel free to ask questions if you need
more info.
Thanks,
Alizarin

| According to some theories, that is entirely possible.

Maybe one of the addresses is a package forwarder or they are not in the US at
all and are using two forwarders.

| There is a seller on bricklink that asks for this kind of price reduction all
the time. I found that she was a reseller on Amazon and is always looking for
a discount on a set you have that she has already sold. I won't allow her
to buy from my store anymore because of her insistence that I offer a discount
plus shipping.
After I blocked her from buying from my store she accused me of hurting small
children who she buys sets for for Christmas and birthdays. She has changed
her username several times to try and get around being blocked. Because she always
asks for the same kind of discount I know who it is. I believe she lives in New
Jersey.
The probable reason why you got two messages about the same set to two separate
zip codes is because she can't keep her messages straight. She's probably
selling things so fast and wanting to get them shipped to the buyer so quickly
that she made a mistake and sent you two messages about the same set.
If this is the seller I'm talking about you should be cautious in dealing
with her.
Just my observation and opinion.

Hello again!
Thank you all for all of your helpful insight.
Considering that the two places the user wanted me to ship to were large cities,
the theory of a buyer outside of the US seems the most plausible.
Thank you again for taking time to comment.
