One of the "on-going" problems with Craigslists deals is that Craigslists attempts to "scare" people into ONLY dealing locally. And they succeed in doing that with a LOT of people.That might be PART of the reason this guy backed out on a "out-of-state" deal. He got a "local" offer that was less of a hassle and obviously more of a sure thing (from his point of view).IMO, Craigslist is WRONG for "scaring" people like they do. There are several "secure" ways of doing business "long distance," even for "part-time" sellers, and Craigslist ought to recognize that. Of course, it's not anything like eBay as Craigslist doesn't get a "cut" out of the sales.They warn about the dangers/possibilities of getting "scammed" with non-local deals but don't seem to concerned about what kind of "crazy" might show up at your door if you've listed something with them and have someone coming to take a look. I'm more concerned about that than I am getting scammed....Just my two abe's...Bill
Yes most of what Bill has stated is true about C/L..But on the other hand if a drum is not local to me i will have a friend in the town go pick the drum up for me.I have some members on the forum that will do this for me to.Also when i meet up with a local seller i to always meet at a store or somewere their is alot of people around..I also bring a few friends with me S&W...Mikey
