items from bee hives to power tools. All of my interactions have been positive.
Best thing you can do is talk to the person on the phone first. If you can have a normal conversation with them, you're probably safe. Meet in a public place if unsure.
Carry a list of your asking price for your vital organs, just in case.

you risk your life and an>us and ride with them?
Cash transactions only?
Meet at your house or in a walmart parking lot?
Take a gun "just in case?"

I never considered riding along on the test drive. One guy rode with me when I bought a truck from him.
Cash only. Or a check from their bank made out to me.
Odds of something bad happening increase exponentially in a walmart parking lot. I have met at my house, or theirs when buying, but I always felt really comfortable after the phone conversation.
Never felt the need to take a gun. If you have this level of apprehension, you probably should avoid the transaction...

disappointing. However, I found the best deal on MB parts for this project car. The donor car must have spent a lot of time in a garage and the discoloration of the vinyl was miniscule. Even the carpet was fresh and complete. The leather on the seats alone were worth $500-$900 because they are fresh Rosen leather which was treated and dyed before the EPA when totally batchit crazy.
Most Craigslist postings are overpriced junk. My issue with selling is that I don't dicker. If something is worth the asking price I just pay the price. When I post an item I do not come down. The old folks' rule of thumb was that if a man reduced a price by more than 10% he was a thief for asking too much to begin with.

I use LetGo a lot and I always pack heat...not my caulk, but an actual gun.
Meet in a well traveled area, like the back of a truck stop or bowling alley.
