Craigslist sales

[gummy]

When you purchase something off CL do you go by yourself to pick it up? 

I am not an overly cautious person about pretty much anything but for some reason CL sales I always take my H with.  I upcycle/restore old furniture so not only do I usually need a hand with lifting, sometimes the items are deep inside a person's home.  I often miss out on things because of my H's schedule and my inability to get someone else to go with me.

Whenever I sell something I never have them meet me at my house and more often than not I notice these people are alone when they come to pick something up so am I a wuss?  Like I said I'm the least omgah I'm going to be murdered person in other situations (walking alone at night, being in shady neighborhoods) but with CL I'm pretty sure every person wants to cut me up into tiny pieces.  I've actually never encountered a total creeper but I'm usually buying antique furniture from little old ladies it seems.

Yes, I generally go by myself.

I meet in a public place, if possible, and I usually bring DH. When selling I try to meet at our town hall/police station.

I just waited 25 min for someone that never came. I'm not surprised, but I am annoyed. I think CL has a lot of flakes and relatively few kidnapper rapist murderers, but I am always very cautious.

I usually buy stuff that is heavy and requires the use of my husband regardless. So he normally comes along. 

I do not, however, have anyone pick up anything from my house unless my husband is home.

I always bring my husband. When I'm selling I usually have them meet me outside of my building (it's a secured building and they never know my unit #).

I meet them in a public place and give H updates on where I am if he's not with me

I meet in a public place or take someone with me (my dad or DH) if it's something large where I have to go to a home.
