jtiis Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 http://sfappeal.com/2013/08/man-robbed-after-responding-to-craigslist-ad/ Wasn't selling a watch but evidently that was "part of the deal"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yikes, that's pretty shocking and disturbing. Think I'll stick with the m2m sales section here rather than risk getting my face punched by some yobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 No deal on craigslist is worth the risk of something like this happening. I know plenty of people have no issues but it only takes one time... m2m ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Not good. I said the other day here about someone selling a watch on Craigslist that the buyer could be "relieved" of their money and watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Always hated these kind of transactions. Over in the UK people are big into a website called Gumtree which is abit like Craigslist. If I ever want to buy something expensive I usually go with a friend and best meet in a very public place or their house that way you know where they live.

Mike on a bike Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I live in NYC metro area, be a cold day in hell before I sell anything on a meet. As some of you know I am not a small guy but even if I pack and wack them I get jammed up, not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al qaeda with cheese Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 If I do a Craiglist deal I meet them in the parking lot of the police station. I know it's on the up and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
