Got a good deal on Craigslist

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

This is the first time I bought something off of Craigslist because of my own personal safety reasons. I noticed that the owner's name was unusual and was just like my friend's husbands name. I texted her to see if it was him. Today I picked up a new in the box headboard for my daughter for $25.

What a small world that you knew the seller!  Great deal!

wow what a small world - I know sometimes there are things I want to buy (or maybe sell) and then I think of the murder from craigs list and make myself crazy!!! LOL  - I still do a lot of selling on CL but I always make sure my dh is home or I bring the item to his shop for the person to pick it up there rather than my home.  I think better safe then sorry for a few $ and I don't want everyone to know my home etc.

That's a great idea about having the item picked up somewhere other than your house!

I have bought a lot of things off Craiglist, but I always make sure I bring my DH with.

I buy and sell a ton on cl and always make sure I meet them or I bring the stuff to my inlaws business and fil or bil sell it for me. I have had 100% success with it. Also there is a local for sale on FB let me know if you want invited there is always a ton of stuff on there for sale and I have sold a few things on there as well.
