You might think it would be a no-brainer to sell things online. I mean, you can reach lots of people at once and there’s always someone out there looking to score your old stuff, right?

These 16 people learned the hard way that folks are a lot.

Selling a camera for $600. The guy says he can only pay in cash and turns up with $370 and expects it’ll be fine. I didn’t even get out of my car. Just drove away.
