i've never been scammed, but i have had people express interest to never confirm the pickup time. luckily i always had someone waiting in the wings.

you'll sell it.
Well hopefully it will sell. I have some other stuff I want to try and sell as well but I'll wait and see what this brings first . Need any door knobs..lol

Seriously though, he/she now has your direct email, clean out your cookies and do a virus scan just to be on the safe side.

A dryer? Like a clothes dryer??? No reason someone local will not show up at your house with cash for that.

i usually make people tell me where they are driving from before i bother responding.

there are some weird people on there. i think one guy wanted to drive from like South south jersey to pick up an item worth 10 dollars that i was giving away. guess he had not checked the latest turnpike rates!!!

LOL...gold door knobs with hinges, etc. The ones the builder put in - I switched them all over to oil rubbed bronze. The one's the builder used were pretty high end but I prefer the oil rubbed look : ))

it is a scam, when I was rented my place I had a similiar response. If you keep fuc@@ing with him you will soon see he wants to put the money directly into your bank account.

Exclamation Be careful

I have a friend that sold some stuff on Craigs list, she took both money orders and a check, guess what???? they were both fake, so be careful, take cash, have the person meet you in a public place, never take people to your homes

hope this helps
