That limits you to buying stuff locally, its a good precaution but means you can't buy anything that is only available further away. I've had good luck buying stuff so far and saved money, I certainly could have got scammed and that would suck.

To me, that's an entirely reasonable trade-off. You sacrifice the breadth of the market available to you in exchange for greatly reducing your attack surface. You'll easily filter out the legions of machine-assisted international scammers if you require transactions to be in-person with cash.
- bluGill 3y agoLike most people - I have a niche interest that doesn't have a large market locally. When I want something that everyone in the country has there is no problem. When I want something unusual though I need to expand to a larger market than local to have a chance of finding it.
