Craigslist Tip #3- Face to Face

This might just be the lawyer in me talking, but you can hardly trust people nowadays as it is. However, when you're talking about cut-rate merchandise, in a completely anonymous marketplace, there is even less reason to trust people. Craigslist does not have bidder feedback, and so if you get burned there is less of a way to go after these people.

Know what you are looking for, and deal face-to-face. Don't be afraid to back out of a deal if what you want doesn't match what you get.
