It was said in the other thread... so I'll be the first to post it here.
Douchebag clothing attracts douchebag people.
Sorry to hear his clothes got stolen. Should always meet in a crowded area though.

That's why I never use Craigslist. RS buy/sell all the way. Even if it is on RS I check the members feedback and how long they are register on the site and how many post they make. I never deal with new members just to be son the safe side.

How is that a scam?
It'd only be a scam if your buddy sold them fake shit.

nah he didnt choose the spot
bad for him to try selling 1.3k$ worth of hoody in a shady spot. but he was probably eager to make some money.

Haha, that happened to a friend and I a long time ago too but my friend is really big and went after them and got our item back. Most of the time though CL is fine. My bro has sold a lot of stuff through it (sold laptops, etc). Just use common sense.

in his defence, just because its on hastings doenst mean its like main/hastings. its actually pretty non-ghetto, looking from google satellite. (never been there)
but i agree, meeting behind a store is still fail.
