I was selling a ps4 on letgo today and I met the buyer at university edge apartments right outside of LSU. I have sold items on letgo at those apartments before and never had a problem. Well today finally bit me in the arse.
It was two guys in the car and the passenger got out and was handing me the money. While I was holding the ps4 under my arm he leaned forward while handing me the money and push the shot out of me to the ground not expecting that to happen. While he pushed me down the driver pulled up and he passenger picked up the ps4 and hopped in and they drove off hauling arse.
Everything happened so fast I couldn’t get the license plate. I knew the police station was down the street so I went over there and all they did was take my license and asked if I had a serial number. Unfortunately I didn’t and that is my fault. They didn’t ask me what car they were driving or what they look like and it was like oh well bye. This sucks and this will be my last time I ever sell something in person. I know dear diary!

A few things: 1.) You are dumb for doing it at an apartment complex. 2.) There is a spot at the police headquarters in downtown Baton Rouge JUST for these occasions where you meet at the spot and there are cameras all around. 3.) If a sketchy person won't go there (which I wouldn't sell then), you agree to meet at the entrance to Walmart or some other large store that has cameras all around.

I have sold several items and never had an issue because I won't sell unless I feel 100% safe.
