OT: Do any of you do Craigslist???
I use it to pick up chicks :)
Seriously. Yeah, I've used it. I'm pretty skeptical and net-savvy about most places like that, so I've been lucky enough to avoid scammers and such. Found some pretty good deals too. I also use BackPage (http://www.backpage.com). It's like CL, but with fewer . . . "junk" posts.
I've sold several items on craigslist, big ticket items like a car, furniture, air hockey table, etc. I only will accept cash and it has to be pickup (to avoid scams and all)
I haven't bought anything yet, but I'm looking to buy an elliptical trainer or some other zero impact exercise machine, so that's what I'll be clicking on next!
I've put a lot of things on and bought from Craigs list with no problems. I do meet the people in a well lit, populated area. Like maybe a grocery store parking lot close to the entrance to the store. If I have someone come to my house to pick up large things I make sure my husband is home when they come.
One Sunday while I was cleaning the garage I saw a couple of things I wanted to list so I took pictures.I went in for something to drink and sat at the computer and listed them. By the time I was finished cleaning the garage that evening all of the things were SOLD AND PICKED UP ! I actually got paid $75 for cleaning the garage. Not bad for a days work.

I've bought and sold lots of stuff on Craigslist and love the site. But last month in my state a woman was murdered at her home after arranging for someone to pick up something she sold on the website, so I decided from now on if I sell something I won't have anyone come to my house to get it, I'll arrange to meet at a public parking lot just for safety.
It's an awesome free site that is so easy to use, but as women we need to be careful and safe, don't let people come to your house to pick up your items!
