Low IQ thugs with no moral compass. They've probably killed people over a soft drink or a candy bar.
I would never try to sell something via one of theose "Craig's List" type apps. I would have sold it on ebay, so as to not have to meet the buyers perps.
I think if people like “dogs”. That is, most of us are dogs, but there are coyotes and wolves among us. They may look like dogs, but they simply see you as dinner. It’s why I carry in my car. When I come across a Coyote or Wolf I will not hesitate to use it when necessary. They are simply not like us.
we sell some on CL or Face book Marketplace, but we meet at a well lit area near our house.
At the very least, arrange to make the sale in the lobby of a police station or other relatively secure area.
It would be insane to try to do a "Craig's List" type face-to-face sale in Gary, Ind. unless you did it in a police station parking lot. Gary is a lot like Camden, NJ, East St. Louis, Ill. and Compton, Calif.
Stalking cyberspace, now.
I sell stuff through CL, FB Maketplace, and all the others apps all the time. I've never sold anything through eBay. It's all a matter of using common sense and being safe. Meet in daylight at a public, well-traveled place. Bad things happen sometimes.
