Just met a couple off of craigslist!

[Beachkid23]

She had 2 14 karat gold bracelets for sale. She wanted 110 for one of them and 120 for the other. But then she pulled out a third one and said she had not listed that one yet she wanted 150 for that one. I will have pictures to come but one of them will pay for what I paid for all of them!

NEVER go with a hippie to a second location and NEVER trust a couple from craigslist.... I'm just saying.... ya know.

Good Job Beachkid! Do test everything and if you feel somethings not right about the couple meet them inside your bank or police station which I have done numerous times for both parties safety, helps as a buyers tool for those nervous sellers. I did use to buy stuff right out of my car in parking lots too. With my .40 sitting under my leg.

Never mind I suck I paid $50 under spot for all of them. Thank goodness one is signed. I should be able to get a couple hundred dollars more than what I paid though I think. One is already claimed by my sister-in-law for 200.

I have an opposite view of craigslist than most. I invite people to my house. I figure if anything goes down I have home field advantage. I think a potential robber doesn't want to be in a situation like that. First they have to come to an unknown home they never have been in. Second they might not be familiar with the area, which might make them say forget about it and go after an easier or more familiar target. Honestly most craigslist stories I hear about, the robber always meets in a neutral location and the wackos are the ones who want you to come to their house.

And if you are really paranoid you could basically stash a weapon anywhere you like. They just see a newspaper on a counter top, they don't see the knife/gun under it. Also I keep enough cash on me to change any bill so I don't have to leave the room. I just think most robbers would say no to coming to your house. Sure it might scare away real legitimate customers, but no sale is worth me putting my life on the line. Also I have mentioned this before but I don't use email, I always give my cell number. Talking to a person will tell you a whole lot more than an email will.

I had to laugh about how you said the wackos are the ones who want you to come to there house. But YOU are the one inviteing people to your house, and hiding weapons close to hand. I just had the best laugh of my day. But you sure proved your point.

I didn't say I DID, I said if YOU are really paranoid....

Police station.....nothing else will do for me. Every town has one and there is only 1 legitimate excuse for someone not willing to meet there and that is that they are up to no good.

When I sell on Craigslist it is never at my house. That's one of the reasons I rented a storage unit - when I sell furniture, it goes straight to the storage unit and I have the other party meet me there. I am completely comfortable meeting buyers and sellers in public places, but it's not for everyone.

Some of my best buys have come from Craigslist have come when I go for one item, then get the pick of the house they are moving out of. I was uncomfortable at first, but buying and selling is not a hobby for me so I don't have a choice.

I never think twice about meeting a buyer at my house. And I live in one of the most murderous cities in the US.

However, if they walked in with concealed carry and I saw that pistol, there would be trouble. Anyone other than a cop who carries a concealed weapon into my house is a threat to my life and that of my family, end of discussion.

Those 13% eBay fees don't look so bad now do they? I really hate meeting people off craigslist unless they're old! Like my grandma old that's not so bad!

What kind of trouble?? If you think they are threat to your life and your families I would hope you would just tell them that you don't want someone carrying a concealed weapon on your property and ask them to leave.

It depends on the situation. I have sold thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of stuff from my driveway. Never have had a problem but I ALWAYS talk to prospective buyer first. Not just email or text...
