Anyone ever bought/sold anything off there? I'm having a hard time figuring out if people are legit..
Someone replied like 5 minutes after I put my post up with this email:
Trying to sell my laptop ..

It's legit
Just don't try to find a job on their, a lot of people trying to scam.
Also...some people ARE shady so just know what you want and do your research so they don't sell you a shitty product. |

Well I'm actually selling here, but I'm still pretty skeptical.. I don't trust anyone.

I used it, bought xbox 360 games on it dirtcheap (some crackwhores were selling games for $20 when retail was 59.99+tax) Just make sure to never accept cheques etc (cash only) and usually if trade involves more than $100 I meet them in public place (like mcdonalds or something, you know). It's legit just beware of cheques etc as fraud artists use fake checks and get away with it.

So I replied back and she said this when I asked if she could pay cash and come pick it up:
How do I go about this without getting screwed?
It's weird, because I was only asking for $200 in my post on craigslist ... the fuck?

i've done quite a few trades on craigslist.
it always seems sketchy at first, but i've never hard a problem.
i would meet in a public place, like a walmart parking lot or something where there is plenty of witnesses just in case.
lap tops sell fast, at least in my experience i never had one up for more then 2 days.
and the email seems legit.
