Did we check to see if the seller was a member here?

This doesn't apply to just firearms. I really hate dealing with any transactions that deal with Craigslist. Too many horror stories.

Agreed. I will not use Craigslist anymore, for anything. Ever.

I would like to go that route but it's so dang easy to sell random things on it.

But I am getting further and further from it.

Part of the reason I have three little rules about Craigslist. I only do Craigslist deals:

1. During daylight hours
2. In a public place
3. Armed.

Exactly! Honestly, I have bought and sold hundreds of items on craigslist and only once have I not felt safe. That was when we bought a truck from aurora. I follow all these rules, and I usually buy/sell kids stuff and furniture which is not usually expensive.

Am i the only who would reversed look up the name or phone number of the person? In today's age, unless if the other party has been living under the rock, you can look him/her up. County record is online - if they own their own home, phone number reverse, or simply by googling them.

Same thing w/ ebay, amazon auction etc.. if you phone number doesnt match your address.. no deal.

If it's my number that came up on the roulette wheel of life, doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. Go to a deal unarmed, shame on you.
Like buying a firearm, if you don't feel right about the phone call or internet communication, walk away.
