About to make a Craigslist run

[blipcs76]

I had a similar CL situation yesterday -- found someone selling a Chrono Trigger for $50, claiming it was worth $250 in the post.  I called about it and we agreed to meet in public, but then he shifted the meeting to his apt.  Then he said the price was supposed to be $120 but was listed on CL wrong, though he'd still sell it to me for $50 

He also had a Super Bases Loaded for $50, claiming it's worth $75.    So the whole thing didn't sit right and I let it go.

yea the craigslist killer has made me pretty aware of the little things I do like not telling anyone where I'm going when going on a craigslisting...

I always meet in a public area and if that won't work then I have someone come with me and wait in the car. Also I never go into the house, I just stand at the front door, there is no reason to have to go inside.

This thread is a bit funny because I'm considering using Craigslist to sell half of my boxed PC game collection to someone semi-local. >_>

I swear I'm not a killer, really.

Is it wrong that I laughed harder than I should've, because you're Mexican.

Slightly off topic, but an amusing anecdote, nonetheless:

A friend was selling his motorcycle on cl, so I went with him to the meet as muscle.  I geared up, wore my scariest biker clothes, and off we went.  When we arrived, the buyer had brought his two attractive daughters, Who talked to us about how much they liked dirtbiking, and how maybe we could help them learn to ride sometime . 

I don't know how much he talked my friend down, but needless to say, the buyer won the negotiations that day.

He said "knives"...not "machetes"

That's because he's not in Canada. Canadians use machetes exclusively.

I bought an arcade machine from a meth house once...

So that was *YOU* that came over that day

That is funny. And smart.

Yeah, because what we want to see is Danny Trejo take a stab (ha) at my crap games. HILARITY ENSUES. XD

That is funny. BUT... did you get to give motorcycle lessons? That's the important part.
