The problem is that the sequence attached to the "id" column is lower
than the values actually present in the column. Try doing
SELECT setval(pg_get_serial_sequence('line_items', 'id'), 16);
and see if it fixes your problem.
Now, how did the sequence got out of sync? Did you insert values to the
id column by hand?
