We have only had good experiences when meeting people from craigslist. But we do not live in a highly populated area either. We also have some guide lines we go by.
Never give your address until the day they plan to pick up whatever.
Always talk to the person on the phone too. Don't just go by what the Email says. You can get a feel for the person at that time. If it doesn't "feel" right, just say, "I'm sorry. Someone just came and picked it up."Or " I'm sorry.I have someone coming in a half an hour to pick it up."
If picking stuff up, google map to see where exactly they live.
Do a reverse phone # check.
There are more, but I can't remember what they are right now. But these are the top ones.
Hey Fordmommy!! I live in a super small town... these crazies come out of the woodwork I tell ya. I ended up with some guy coming to my house to buy a rooster, and see what else he wanted to buy. He even cut the birds wings here at my house... then the emails began... and the instant messages.... i told him to back off, and he did for about 8 months. THEN he added me on facebook (i thought he was an add for sorority life, there was no picture.... NOPE!!) HIS WIFE emailed me and told me to back off. I explained to her i had no idea that it was HIM! (She knows hes like this). Long story short... i deleted him from facebook AS SOON as i found out, and told him if he bugged me again, id call the cops. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband makes me meet them at circle k now.
Wow! It's never been like that here. DH would get some crazy Emails but we would just block them. You could always change your Email too. Freaky! For sure. I don't blaim you for meeting some place else.
