My wife and I have done lots of business on CraigsList, both buying and selling.
I do some in bursts and maybe one minor case of heartburn out of the couple hundred buy/sells. Using common sense is a prime component.
One of my main rules if they can’t spell well, they aren’t worth dealing with. Not a hard and fast one because I was wrong about one or two.
My daughter has as well and never had any problems. You can be robbed anywhere.
That ‘s what my neighbor says but I turned down her request to go pick up some statue.
