I was selling an Xbox one and a dude got in touch with asking if he could trade something for it. I can't remember what it was but I think it was slightly worth less than what I was selling for so I offered a deal. Give me this plus $100 and the Xbox is yours. He agreed so I traveled about an hour to meet him at a train station and met up with him.
I give him the Xbox and he gives me the thing and looks me dead in the eye and says "Well, where's my $100?"
I don't know how people can be like that. It baffles me. Needless to say, I just settled the deal with what he gave me since I just wanted that Xbox gone.
