A Note on Craigslist

In the last few posts I have discussed using Craigslist and in the future, as I discuss reselling more frequently, I will mention more of my own Craigslist experiences.

Please, please do not use Craigslist.  It is a scary place with weird people.  I personally had A Very Bad Experience (caps intentional) with a buyer March of last year that made me very glad I met the guy in a heavily-populated, well-lit location with a friend.  I was still afraid of being arrested and/or shanked.  People get murdered at Craigslist deals.  And scammed.  Seriously, it's not worth it.  Use eBay or Amazon.

I am using my Craigslist anecdotes only as demonstrations of bargaining and reselling techniques.  I do not condone your use of Craigslist.  In fact, I disapprove.  I take no responsibility should you use Craigslist and be hurt, scammed, murdered, etc.  Seriously, don't do it.
