What stinks is when they film your house and car tag without blocking it out and it airs several times on television. Just say no to the news ladies and Gents. It can get you robbed these days. Guy just got car jacked trying to sell a gold grill.
I have sold things on Craigslist, Facebook and forum classifieds with no problem. I try to feel out the buyers before agreeing to meet and always in a busy location. I live in a campground and usually meet at the office so nobody knows exactly where I live. You just have to be smart enough to protect yourself.LOL, jacked trying to sell a gold grill? I'm sure it was in an upscale neighborhood. Stuffs going to happen. You don't need a newscast to tell people you have a ring to steal as everyone has a ring. I do laugh though when people say they don't post anything on CL because of all the scammers. I've posted things for years and have had one person try and say it was theirs because it said 14k inside. Sounds like the reporters who did the interview showing license plates and addresses were idiots.
Oh, and for anyone who reads my posts, don't read any connotations or inflections in my post. I smile when I type as this is just a hobby.
