RE: have u sold through craigslist.com???
I have sold a few things. A few car parts and a few electronics. I always used cash, MO, or they paypal me before they pick it up. I never except anything else, unless its osmething big, and if they have a check I will go to the bank and let them cash it then give me the money. But thats about it. Usually its pretty straight forward

If you have a paypal account and your buyer does as well, they can pay you through Paypal. I have sold an ***-load of things on CL, including my F2, it sold in an hour for my full asking price, cash deal. Other times, I had mailed something out as soon as funds were recieved, many of those times by paypal.

i have sold and bought atleast 5 cars 4 motorcycles and hella car parts, stereo equipment, furniture, etc ! i love "CL" ! but i hate dealing with flakers ! when i sell something its CASH ONLY or if you have a check we goto the bank right away and not untill i get cash then you get your stuff. if they dont like that oh well, they are not going to be the only person out there who needs what you are selling ! use that same approach when taking offers . when ppl try to low ball you tell them to **** off. in my opinion craigslist is very good but there are scammers out there and low ballers so watch your back. ive heard of a few people locally who have tried to sell stuff on cl , showed it to people then it gets jacked later (i think that happened to a member on here too - red bull bike ) good luck

Sold a bunch of stuff. I have always done face to face cash only. Even took one guy to the bank to get his cash. Just like anyhting else it has risks but dont let that discourage you. Get info and dont just diss anyone off. If one flakes go to the second choice. Keep people updated and contact fast always makes a good customer/buyer/seller.
