I mean, I remember hearing about some guy selling a diamond ring and these 2 guys like robbed them or something?

Should I be worried about selling stuff? I mean, I'm selling like Black ops, a few Xbox controllers, an Ipod touch, like should I be worried about this?

Yeah.


Take care of sales the safe way. On the street corner.

Yeah, I'm only 14 so I'll definitely have my brother when they come to my house.

I know there's really no reason to be worried (especially if you stop thinking in worst case scenario panic mode), but when I met up with my guy we met at the local mall. I just thought it was weird to meet up at one or the other's house. Plus, it makes sense to meet at a midway point between you guys.

But that was just my situation. I don't know if you're selling like a table or something, haha. That'd require coming to the house.

Just use common sense. Meet at a public place. Also be careful with those that email with wanting to buy your items twice as much as you're asking for. They're going to give you a random story and want you to ship it outside the United States. (Nigerians scammers)

Yeah, I won't fall for that. This guys already texting me about my Ipod touch, but.. Oh well.

I'm just tryin' to get enough money for new clothes for school and shit and maybe have enough for a fight stick.

My neighborhood is crowded with kids and shit so I don't think they would try anything. I would probably just meet them out in my driveway.

I can't imagine anyone who would risk going to jail for a bloody Xbox.

All the people I've dealt with on Craigslist simply do their business and they're gone in a flash.

Welcome them inside your house. That's what I do.

Nah. No one is home, and i'm only 14. About to sell my Ipod touch to a 13 year old kid for 100$, and the screen is cracked. Pretty good deal if you ask me.


EDIT: The trade went well. We just texted for a lil bit, he strolled up and we just traded. Well, that was worth it since I get a new fight stick! Yay. lol

Mine are quick and simple.

I open door, he gives the money, I give whatever he bought and bam, G-day sir.

Easy 20 bucks.

Some did look weird though, but that didn't bother me too much.
