Lots of times! Easy breezy. I screen who I sell to, and if they seem shady on the phone I tell them I have someone lined up ahead of them but I'll give them a call if that falls through. I've never had a problem, and have met some pretty cool people.

It worked out ok sometimes, other times I couldn't answer my phone for a few weeks. Oh wait. I never answer my phone.

5. Worked great, but don't ask me about the date I had from there... |
|
I sold my stuff just fine, material goods that is, but when it came to meeting up with someone from there..... Well, let's just say he claimed to be a genetic experiment and everything went down from that point on.

10. lots of times, and i'll never sell my own stuff any other way |
|
we've sold stuff, bought stuff, rented an apartment and a house, and given away free trash on craigslist, and it's been easy and 99.9% hassle-free.
highly recommended.

13. How do you usually accept payment? |
|
I noticed that they say there are a lot of scams taking people's money through cashier's check or money order.
I have someone wanting to buy my furniture and he says he lives in London but gave a Vermont address. He said he would send a "courier" to deliver the cashier's check and once I received payment he would send the moving company to pick up the furniture...
:wtf:

14. 1. Local 2. Cash 3. They get their stuff when I get their money. No sooner, no later. |
|
Anything else is likely a scam. But honest people will stick to those rules, no problem.
