I've had very good success with Craigs List except for one purchase. I've sold several things too....well now's my time for a problem with SELLING. I 've had listed for quite a while, 2 large boxes and 3 large bags full of yardage and scraps. One box had misc. beads, trim etc. I was asking $25. A man answered the ad, came here and looked through several of the bags, seemed nice and gave me the money.
I get a rude e-mail telling me he wants his money back tomorrow because he should have looked through it better and it's garbage that he can't make anything out of. I specified it was yardage and scraps and he looked at it here.... I told him I'd refund his money IF I was home tomorrow but I'm not waiting around for him.
Now I'm worried he'll vandalize my house or whatever. It really is a very good idea to meet people so they don't know where you live. :< And now I have to deal with all this over $25. So not worth it!
