At least on Craigslist you can restrict the sales to meatspace. Asking to meet on the steps of a police station does a great job of filtering out scammers.

- cortesoft 7y agoSucks as a buyer though, if the item turns out to have issues (or it was stolen).
- wozniacki 7y agoI haven't listed on CL in a while and was surprised they started charging flat rates for even listing small gigs. ( ~ $10 ) Are those local-selling apps any better in quality of transactions? Letgo, Offerup etc.?
- csharptwdec19 7y agoYep. When I used to sell bikes/parts on CL, my rule was anything over 200$ I would only do in-person and locally (Besides, any full bikes in that price are probably too expensive to ship.) And frankly, If it's something you have a hobby doing, you can wind up meeting some people who share your interests. When I sold a Mountain Bike to a guy we wound up meeting in front of a CVS and just shot the shit for a good half hour after the sale.
