Not the original poster, but my personal concern with Craigslist (and why I rarely use them anymore) is safety issues and/or weirdos.

Unknown people driving by at 2am, folks who look straight out of a ‘COPS’ lineup showing up then ‘not having all the cash’, etc.

Meeting in a public place saves some of the hassle, but adds another - lots of flakes, and time spent getting to and from.

If the item is big ticket enough it’s worth it, but man is it a waste of human effort most of the time. Sad.

With time being more scarce for me now personally, I also just can’t justify dealing with it most of the time.
