I found a good deal on a cosleeper on Craig's List, but I've never bought anything from there. I will pay cash and I asked the seller to meet me in a public place...any other tips? I'm trying to find someone to go with me.
It's pretty cheap. I figured it'd be washable and I could always buy a new mattress if I needed to.Originally Posted by cheylink
Honestly, I love Craig's List! I found the love of my life, Maia, there, as well as my TV, my serger, my 2 past jobs. My concern would be a co-sleeper? I would do a CSI inspection
Agree with the above...Originally Posted by Carolina
I never had any problems and I bought and sold plenty of stuff at CL...
I am also single, so don't have the luxury of having someone available to go with me...
The key is, IMO, to schedule the meetings at public, well lit places, in the middle of the day, preferabbly on a weekend when the places are busier - the best place for me is my Starbucks parking lot. I park right in front of the place, where there are always people sitting out, and do the transactions outside of the car. I also let the person leave first, so I know I am not followed; I usually stick around for coffee...
There are crazy people out there, but there are many more good people than bad... Just act like you would when talking/dealing with complete strangers...
