I've sold large items (entertainment center, treadmill, playground) on CL before. Also some listed some stuff for free/ you haul it. I don't do it anymore though. If it's not something I can take to a neutral area myself, I don't sell it on CL. I was always careful not to give my address until I was reasonably sure I had a good buyer. But so many flaked and never showed up that I got leery about giving it out at all. The last straw was when a guy that was supposed to come at 5pm one night said he couldn't make it and asked if I could do it @ 7pm. I said I was going to be gone (I wasn't really going anywhere, just didn't want to meet anyone that late on a weeknight). Sure enough, at about 715, a van backed into my driveway and two big guys got out. I assumed they thought the house would be empty. I had a long and secluded driveway but saw them from an upstairs window. I just yelled "can I help you guys?" from the upstairs window. I got an "uh, uh, wrong house. Sorry" and they turned and left.

It's interesting that Craigslist has a no firearm related items policy when the entire Craigslist environment has led to so much robbery, assault, rape, and murder. Not that allowing gun listings would change any of that. Just interesting.
