If I were going to meet somebody to buy/sell something from Craigslist, I'd meet them right in front of my local police station. In the day time.

What happened to this wonderful couple is just devastating. I'm so sorry for their family Smiley Sad

I do business all the time on Craigslist... so do my friends. And if someone ever asked to meet in a PD parking lot I'd be more than happy to and your friend is exactly right... there's no reason for anyone to say no.

We've never had an issue on there either and we've been using it for years. But no, it's not for everyone and yea, you gotta be safe.

there is nothing wrong with using craigslist but you have to use common sense,too when you are dealing with a person you have never seen or talked to before! my sister has used it lots of time and has never had a problem! so has my son. i know a girl that buys furniture of CL and then refurbishes it and turnes around and resells on CL and she has never had a problem either. you just have to know what you are doing and take the necessary precautions to protect yourself. someone on facebook said that she asks all her buyers to meet her at the police department in the lobby - if they have a problem with that she will not deal with them. end of discussion.

Re: Another Tragic Craigslist Story...........

I sold 2 things on craigs list. Both times I met the buyers in a very public place. Both times the people were very nice and all was fine.
