Is it just me that meets the morons on craigslist or are other people too? Today, bought an Imac from a dude. I ran late because of traffic and things and had the dude wait 30 minutes at a parking lot for me. Felt bad. got there, dude looked legit, with his girlfriend, nice clean guy. I had a AC plug with me to test it but figured i was in a hurry, dude seemed legit and told me it worked awesome so i just took it and left. Come home, turn it on, blank white screen. UGH. Pretty pissed. Dude turned his phone off then later told me hed transfer money to my paypal in a few days after my million texts and calls. So frustrating that there are such stupid people out there. What do you do in this situation? he has a number of other things posted so i was almost thinking of pretending to be a buyer from my wifes phone and meeting him with the imac in my hands but at the same time i dont want any trouble. Imac might be fixable but still.....Who else has gotten screwed?

A big portion of the electronics on CL are busted. If you want used electronics go through newegg or amazon. I wouldn't even trust ebay personallyComment

Agreed. Used to be way better. Personally, i just cant see how someone can lie to someones face and say ya dude, it works perfect. Im scared that if i ever did something like that, which i wouldnt because im not an idiot, that someone would come out and get me. Like this dude, i can easily pretend to be a buyer for his other item and come and beat the crap out of him. Just so frustrating.Comment

craigs list works good for me,,as a buyer,,,for some reason not so good as a seller
for instance I have a bmw motorcycle for sale on craigslist right now and get tons of lowball text messages etc from people that have not even seen it,,,,or they tell you,,,,ill be right over with cash and you spend the day waiting for them NOT to show up
recently Ive gotten nearly all the parts, on this forum and craigslist to put my vert back together ( spun into a snow bank)
however, something like a computer..id be real careful aboutComment
