I got a story for you!

Ok a few weeks ago I posted a add on crags list to sell my cichlids. I had a few emails that I replied to. I few days later I received a second email from a lady. She wrote "$65 EACH!!! YOU HAVE TO BE CRAZY, BESIDES I DON'T NEED THEM ANYMORE I FOUND A BREEDER".
This was a email in response to what I had sent her after she asked me how much I was asking for the fish I wrote to her "6$ each, I'll go cheaper if you buy a lot. I also have a few rare fish like a Gold nugget pleco and a wild caught catfish from Africa." So in other words she must have seen the $ after the 6 and thought it was a five. I know for sure because I still have the original message that was sent to her.
After I got this hateful message I decided to send her another message letting her know that she was mistaken and I only was asking 6$ each. The email read "Re-read I asked 6$ each " I also forwarded the original message so she could see what I had wrote.
The next day I receive this message "actually you wrote 65 but thank you for correcting yourself, however like i said i don't need them now"
Now I am sure of what I wrote or I would not be worried about this. I am no one to have someone tell me that I am wrong when I have proof that I am not. So of course I send another message to her saying this "No one in there right mind would ask 65 per fish. I wasn't correcting myself I was correcting you. Right below is the original message that I sent you,. it says 6$ each, and I again copied in the original message so she could see. NOW IT GETS GOOD!!!!!
This is what I get in the mail today
I am so sorry for you that you have nothing better to do with you life than to try to prove yourself right all the time. Now since you have clearly missed the point i will say this one last time I don't care how much your fish are i no longer require them. I thank you for your offer and I hope to never hear from you again, and if I do I will have these messages traced and press charged for harassment. Good day to you and God Bless.
You have got to be kidding me What would you guys do?

Nothing. You're not going to convince her that you're right, nor to buy your fish.
Seems like it's pretty important to you that she admit you are right, which she's not going to do, so you might as well just let it go. JMO...

well, first i'd start writing monetary value correctly :p $6 is proper. then i'd also just forget about it and move on. not worth the time.

I agree... apparently she is told that she is wrong quite often.
There is no way she is putting up with it anymore. Even if she really is...well... wrong..

Well I just could not take it. I sent her another email and told her my name and address so she could easily find me to have the harassment charges on put on me. Nothing rude at all I just simply told her my info and that I hope she does press charges.

Bad idea.

Why didn't you just leave the lady alone? she obviously was just trying to get you to stop emailing her.
You should have just taken it as a misunderstanding and let it go.
Next time put the $ in front of the number... $6 not 6$

so what are you going to do when she and 6 other guys show up to your house and break in the front door(all of them carrying baseball bats and clubs)...and beat the snot out of you???

i know that she wont admit that she is wrong but it is definatly not worth the effort...

No offense, but I'm not sure who is more hard-headed, you or her.
The fish were sold, she said she wasn't interested, why do you feel you still need to prove you were right to someone you don't know and will probably never meet?

Why keep emailing her? You were right, she was wrong. No big deal. Now you've escalated it to the point where you are giving out your address to a potentially vindictive person???
I'm also curious why you posted this here asking what other people would do. What more can you do? What do you want to do?
