UPDATE: At least two other stoop sales got burned by this guy (or these guys) this past weekend. See the thread for details:

a few folks had a stoop sale today on the corner of park and vanderbilt. turns out when one of us tried to use some of the $, she learned we had been given two fairly undetectable counterfeit 20$ bills in the sale– and given back the counterfeiter 15-18$ in change on two separate occasions.
obviously we’ve been scammed for the cash. we think we know by whom– and i think this person’s been going around and doing this at many stoop sales in brooklyn. just a warning to check the 20$ bills for all those stoop sale-ers.
these counterfeit bills are shiny and a little smaller and do not appear real when held up to the light. not everyone is honest in our hoods and it sucks to have our wholesome little sale soured. it’s just not cool, it’s illegal, and it’s not like we’re raking in the dough selling off our two dollar books and cds to bolster our student loans.
stoop sale enterpeneurs, beware!
