u should ask, as that totally will tell if shes sketchy or not :lawl:

I have also sold stuff to some pretty hot milfs too.

The one transaction I will never forget was the one where I met one of my current riding buddies.

I do my transactions at TD, as they're open late on weekdays and open on Sundays.

Scrolled thru the pages briefly, not sure if anyone mentioned this but normally when I meet up to sell or buy things it would first have to be a in a big public area with lots of people.

Next I would bring 2 friends and have one beside me when making transaction.
The other one in the crowd over seeing the transaction from a far but close enough to catch them if they book it. (preferably near the exit the potential thief will take)

Big (expensive) transcations, it's always nice to have a friend there, just in case shit hits the fan.

i wish i had that many friends available when I go and sell my stuff :alone:

i dont really know why, but most of my craigslist transactions were on the shady/sketchy side..

i remember i sold my 56" plasma sony tv to some guy through craigslist.. i couldnt meet him anywhere due to the size of the tv, so the guy decided to come to my house and pick it up.

when the dude arrived, he looked like a typical old white prejudice redneck douchebag, old, white beered, chain, harley davidson motorcycle shirt, sleeve tattooed up arm, and i thought "oh man should have just burrowed someones car and met him somewhere else", but oh well was too late.

the guy comes in to my house with his dirty gross shoes on, i ask him to take his shoes off in a polite manner, he than gives me a weird look and takes his shoes off without even saying anything. That's when i almost wanted to just tweak out and tell him to fuck off, but i kept my cool. He checks to see everything works, and decides to take it. i help him carry the tv out the house so he can load it in to his truck. Now before loading completely into his truck, i ask for the money which was $300.

All the sudden, the guy gives me that wierd/disgusted look again and tells me "i already gave you the cash", obviously i said no you didnt man, your not taking the tv. He decided to argue with us saying he did when he was inside. While he was yapping, brother and i were already getting ready to move the TV back into the house, and my friend who was with me at the time was getting ready to call the authorities. Thats when the guy stopped and went "oh wait i didnt give you the cash yet, sorry about that", gives me the cash right out of his pocket....

i just stood there thinking "are you fucking kidding me", and he left with the tv

$300?! Probably could've got that much on the RS classifieds. Heck, I would've bought it ;)
