jrcolo 0 #5 February 5, 2009 I got my last job off craigslist and Ive bought and sold a bunch of stuff also. I also believe that they are putting our main local paper out of business? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyjumpsteve 0 #6 February 5, 2009 I used to have good experiences (mostly buying tickets and buying/selling small items) but there are so many friggin' scammers now that I find it too cumbersome to deal with. Whatever you are trying to do on CL just be careful and never ever ever under any circumstances use Western Union as a payment system as it will 99.99% of the time be a scam. The good news is the scammers are pretty easy to spot...it is just a nuisance to deal with them. Funny...as I write this there is a story on the news about a Craigslist personal ad gone bad. A guy beat the crap out of a lady and threatened to kill her. So..don't use CL for personals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #7 February 5, 2009 Good experience buying things. Bad in the pet section. We tried to find homes for some orphaned kittens. There are some fucking wackos in the pet section. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiquita24 0 #8 February 5, 2009 I've sold some things on there and it went well. The only problem I had is that it generated lost of scammers who want to send you a check. I posted my resume on there too awhile ago and I will never do that again. Every day my email box would be loaded with what appeared to be a whole bunch of bogus jobs!

likestojump 3 #10 February 5, 2009 just a follow up - craigslist is meant to be a LOCAL classifieds - thus if you use it as intended (and look at the warning on top), your chances of getting scammed on a face to face transaction will be minimal...

jtval 0 #11 February 5, 2009 QuoteWhat kind of exprience has anyone here had on craigslist Good, Bad, None, I bought a printer from someone local about 6 months ago. Got the printer very cheap. It was all good until I found out the guy followed me home. He killed me and my entire Neighborhood in a blind psychotic rage because he didnt want to sell the printer but he lost everything in a divorce. I used to like living and I wish I never used craigslist. YMMVMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,590 #13 February 5, 2009 I have used it twice as a seller: - Set of mounted tires and rims from a new card. - 27" tube-type TV. Both times it sold promptly with the buyer showing up at my door with a wad of cash.

humbled1 0 #14 February 5, 2009 I just got a killer deal on a 3 month old gas dryer last week off of Craigslist. My advice is as a buyer check the ads often and respond quickly to good deals, also buy local so you can see your item before you pay for it.."Tell ya the truth, I don't think this is a brains kind of operation."

Pokerstar 0 #15 February 5, 2009 Very good, both buying and selling. Make sure that you meet in a public location, if it is possible, bring a friend with you, too. Make sure that you do your research beforehand, and know what you are buying. There are many scammers that prey on Craigslist, trying the money order for more scam, etc. I would recommend only dealing with cash for smaller items, for larger items use cashiers checks and do the transaction in a bank. (I bought a motorcycle and we did the transfer exchange in a bank with a cashiers check, verified by the bank) You will also get emails from people trying to lowball you, just ignore them. good luck!Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #19 February 5, 2009 We sold about $3000 worth of furniture when we had to combine two households. Worked great for me. The key was to delete my ad and make a fresh one every few days to get it back to the top of the list. As soon as I did that, I'd get e-mails within an hour. I got annoyed at the amount of people who wouldn't show up and didn't call to tell me they werern't coming, that's just rude.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FYI: If the seller does not reply back, it means the item is no longer for sale :) The ad gets removed after 30 or 60 days anyway, doesn't it? I just usually don't respond to ads that are over a few days old.Serious relationships turn into work after a few weeks and I already got a fucking job :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ H.A.F. = Hard As Fuck ...
