It's a cool concept, and can be very convenient.. but holy hell! the people out there are bat shit crazy!! After last time I sold something, I swore I would never sell again.. But here we go again I guess!!!

I had a guy come over to buy a guitar once.. He played it for a bit, agreed to buy it, then asked to use the bathroom (I agreed, he drove all the way from Ann Arbor)

Later that week, I cut my foot open. I went to my bathroom relieved because I knew I had recently purchased band aids and triple antibiotic ointment.. The ointment was gone!?! I knew it was there! and he was the only person in my house during that time period.. The guy stole my triple antibiotic ointment?? :lol:

For the love....

    I bought a vaporizer off of craigslist.

    It turned out okay. Neither the seller nor me could figure out how or why it happened.

    I've never done anything like that, and he hadn't either. It should be renamed "CreepyCraigslist" :?

    I've sold a few things on Craigslist before. Only had good experiences.

    I sold my TV a couple weeks ago. Knock at the door, open it up and it's this 20 year old girl. She probably weighed 95 lbs. Why would a girl like that go to some random person's place BY HERSELF? :shock:

    Yeah I really questioned myself (I'm around that same size). And I was alone. Turned out to be a nice human dude. But, that was a really stupid decision for me! Did you help her carry the tv to the car?

    I've done it quite a few times. There are some real freaks out there. Just sold some concert tickets that I couldn't use the other day and it was very easy...the guy was here for about 10 seconds.

    Buying things has been painless for me.. Selling is another story

    I guess I admire him on some level..

    my toilet room and bathroom are one in the same.. I own both, they are just located in the same room..
