Dad shot dead after placing Craigslist ad

[PeppyGPhiB]

I met my fiance on Craigslist. Long story, but true. So plenty of good can come out of it!

I've sold many things through CL (get way better return than at a garage sale for bigger ticket items), but I'm very careful with the information I give and how I arrange the pick-up. I try to handle everything in the front of my residence, outside, never inside. And I'd never do it alone, though that sadly did not help the man in this case.

I don't think I would ever handle something like a diamond ring sale through CL, though. Some things should be taken to a pro.

And that's what eBay is for if you want to do it on your own. Much more security physically and financially.

Cute! I have married friends who met through EBay. (they bought stuff from the same seller, and he mixed their addresses up, and because they lived in the same town, the seller asked if they would be willing to just meet and exchange the items themselves, instead of both sending it back to the seller across the country. )
