Why Online Selling Sucks

Why Online Selling Sucks
I put a bunch of stereo items up for sale, first on Craig's List and then on Ebay.
Here are some of the responses I got:
* I'm in San Bernardino and will drive to you right now if you will take $600 cash (for amps I posted a price of $825). Response to him asked him to bring a check for the other $225.
* Will you trade your amps for a mini-computer? A: Not unless it transforms into a semi named Optimus.
* Do they work? (with the fact of positive testing at a stereo shop stated in the ad)
* The obligatory "Is your "item" still for sale?" spam from yahoo and gmail addresses designed to gather email addresses from any response.
* A couple of Ebay questions from a single member on two separate auctions asking me to look at a "compressed picture" to see if the picture is the same thing he wants to get his wife.....with the file being an .exe file.
* The Ebay member who asked if the stereo worked, despite the first two words in the auction description being "Works great".
* The Ebay member who was willing to drive from LA and pick them up to save shipping and buy outside the auction but then did buy it now and cost me commissions and paypal fees.
And people wonder why I have little patience.

Huge hole is huge
Walk around the city with two boards roped together around your shoulders reading "STEREO FOR SALE $825"..
On second thought, you'd probably get the same responses...
