CL freaks me out. I advertised on it only once for a garage sale and a woman walked in and said immediately "I need to buy that mirror!" She just pointed to the first thing she saw. I said "Ok, it's $3" Of course, she only had a $100 bill. She was pacing and sniffing and I thought "There's no way I'm making change for that bill. It's probably counterfeit". So I said "Sorry, no change". So she went out to her car, sat there for at least 15 minutes talking on the phone, then left.
I probably shouldn't say this but since some of you meet people in parking lots to sell an item on occasion, I'll take a chance. Not too far from me, maybe 30 min. or so, a couple of men were shot a few days ago. They answered CL ads for work and they were told that the road was closed so they got out and walked. Next thing they knew, they heard a gun being cocked. One guy ran but still got shot. The other guy wasn't so lucky. All that the bad guys wanted was to rob people. I just don't trust CL at all any more. I know, I know, people have successfully bought and sold items and that's fine. For them. Just thought I'd tell you about this so that your antennae goes up and stays up.
