I'm not convinced there's a real problem that you're trying to solve here. What's an example of something you were going to buy on Craigslist but didn't because of trust issues ?
A substantial part of the second-hand car market is done via anonymous classified, and they're probably the highest ticket item regularly sold on classifieds.
The next tier down is probably electronics, bikes, etc. where a substantial part of the market is stolen goods, where for obvious reasons the sellers aren't going to want identification.
- ft_ 14y agoI bought 2 phones on craigslist and both were stolen, so I wasnt able to activate them with the carrier. This is why I thought it might be better to remove the anonymity (it will probably be a lot easier now that people are used to giving their real names online...) But if a substantial part of the market is stolen goods, than yeah there's no point because nobody would use it.
- ig1 14y agoGenerally for electronics people ask to see them working before they purchase them, I guess it varies by where your based but you couldn't you just stick in a sim to test it before purchase ?
