I posted a $1200 sofa on Craigslist and a guy in Texas wanted it. He paid with Paypal and had a company called www.youshipit.com pick it up the next morning. I received an email from him a week later thanking me for the sofa. Scams certainly exist, but I've bought a great many things off of Craigslist in other states and had the seller ship them to me in addition to the items I've sent people via a Craigslist deal.
