I tried putting a couple things on craigslist, also only got scammers..some of them wanted to meet me in person, gave me fake names/phone numbers when I asked their #s or names to check them out before meeting them...mmmkay.

I know a few people who use it in other cities and like to sell stuff that way but I have not had good experiences. Weirdos is what I got. And if someone seems/sounds weird online, then I have no desire to meet them even in a public/crowded place...even if I'm technically 'safe' still, making a few bucks isn't worth it to me if it creeps me out. eBay is more my style where you don't have to see people in person

ETA danni about paypal - if you meet someone and give them an item, and they paid via paypal, then how do you prove delivery? I remember reading a post from someone on here awhile back, who did that...met someone, sold a high $ item then a couple months later the buyer filed non-performing with paypal and got the $$ back because the seller could not prove delivery. That was a long time ago so it might have changed, though.
