If you want to hurt them, accept the offer, go down the path until you have to commit, then decline. Waste their resources, make them pay.

Exactly!

But don't even decline, at the end. Just get progressively more "weird" in your replies.

"So, I'm just about ready to 'sign on the line that is dotted*'. But one final thing: I need your reassurances that the Big Foot living here on the property will be allowed to remain."

*"Glengarry Glen Ross" reference.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents S03E23 The Right Kind of House:

Waterbury (Emhardt) wants to buy the house owned by elderly Sadie Grimes (Nolan), despite her demanding a price five times the house's worth. Grimes tells Waterbury how her son was killed by an unseen figure in that house over stolen loot, and the loot was never found. Grimes put the house on the market to trap the killer, because only they would agree to the exorbitant price for the sake of the loot. Waterbury confirms her suspicion, but he dies because Grimes has poisoned his drink.

I wouldn’t completely dismiss the offer to buy. If you work it correctly, you might be able to negotiate a deal that includes extended warranties for any vehicles that you own.

We get those monthly on Cedar Creek Lake.

Are you selling? Toledo Bend is an AWESOME lake!

I’ll give you 300.00.

I will pay you ONE MILLION DOLLARS /Dr Evil Voice. Owner financed. One dollar a year for 99 years, the balance, plus 10% interest, in a balloon payment at the end of the 100th year.

Simple. Tell him you’re holding up your right hand and wiggling your fingers. Ask, “Have you ever received an encrypted message? One of these is for you.”
