answered a question | How safe is Craigslist? Anyone have a bad experience? My experience. I was selling an item and set up a busy public meeting place. The item was worth 200.00. I had it in my p/u truck and so we could access it by the tail gate. I try to be situationally aware. I flagged down the security guard and told him what was happening. I was selling an item and was waiting for the buyer. When the buyer showed up...so did the hair on the back of my neck. He was a big guy...liked the item (a plastic bicycle case for shipping) and started making small talk. His wife didn't understand him etc etc....I was backing away putting the side of the truck between us. Because once he could see I wasn't interested I got the vibe he was gonna knock me out and take it...whatever he wanted. Just then...the security guy drove past...and I waved. Explaining to the buyer that the guard was aware. He paid me and left. VERY SCARY. True story |
