NWFlyer 2 #3 May 10, 2006 Sounds perfectly legit to me. Be sure to include your Social Security number, each of your credit card numbers (and, just to be on the safe side, their expiration dates and verification codes), your ATM card number and PIN code, your mother's maiden name, and your home, work, and cell phone numbers. That way, the guy can be sure to track you down to buy your bike frame. Actually, it may or may not be a scam, but with craigslist sales, I don't give my contact info till I've had enough correspondence with the person to be comfortable they're a legitimate buyer. This one could go either way, but the "give me your address" request in the first response would make me uncomfortable and I probably wouldn't bother. If it's fairly priced, you'll have plenty of interest on craigslist. One other tip - first come first served - if you have more than one person interested, the first person to set up a meeting with you and bring you cash gets it... no waiting around for people who may not show up and telling others it's sold."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
