Craigslist is great, you just have to make sure you're smart about who you deal with and how you make the transaction.

Dont bother selling to people out of country. The majority of the time its a scam of some kind. I would say any buyer thats out of state you should be suspicious of. Craigslist is more of a local site w/ the intentions of doing face to face transactions.

ebay or craig list is ok to buy and sell if you can learn to use this system correctly. A face to face transaction is the best to deal with. At least you get to see the items before you hand them the cash. f20milo, what is it that you trying to sell? some people will say that they are interested but back out at the last moment. This is not some thing new at craig list. Along the line there will be serious buyers, be patient.
