I have a friend who will only meet people from Craigslist; FB marketplace etc in dark secluded parking lots alone.

He figures he wants them on edge a little bit? I don’t get it either but he rationalizes if they are worried about getting robbed they are less likely to think about robbing someone.


Sounds reasonable

I sold my f250 and my gooseneck trailer last week on Facebook marketplace. They came to my business and no one touched anything until I had cash in my hand and it was counted.

Other than the old man trying to get a lower price on the trailer and then acting like he didn’t have cash and trying to write me a check (he had the cash in his truck), both experiences were pretty good.

Holmes county is such a shithole. Prayers to his family.

It doesn’t say he was buying the 4 wheeler from that pos, he may have just heard about it, etc. If he bought one from him previously I can almost guarantee it was stolen

The good thing about Facebook is at least you can see the person’s profile unlike Craigslist which is only through email/text. I wouldn’t meet up with someone that looked like they want to rob me.

Do these dumbfricks lack the intelligence to know they'll get caught for this with an internet trail.

Nevermind I know the answer.

"i wasn't planning on buying this today, I don't have the cash. I just happen to be in your area and don't really recognize your requested meet up spot. Can you meet me down the road in front of Walmart/Kroger/dollar store?"

This is after a thorough review of their profile.

Inside a police station. Even if they don't want you there.

Dude showed up smelling like pot blaring rap music in my driveway, starts loading up the furniture into his truck immediately and then after it’s loaded tells me he forgot his cash and asked if I used cash app (which I didn’t)


Why did you let a potential buyer load stuff before getting payment in hand?

That’s on you
