Now what they listed was valuable so maybe if it's collectables it would be ok but it would make me scared. Hubby has 5000 comics to sell (multiple sets of x-men) We haven't gotten around to it. Let me know if you have luck with ebay or Amazon. I would join you to check it out but we are snowflakes renting.
I did advertise on Craigslist not too long age. Within an hour I had two responses who would send me a certified check with some additional money to give to the person who would be picking up the item. I was told to cash the check and give his pick-up agent a hundred dollars and I was to keep the rest. Do you see where this was going ??? Of course thirty days after cashing the check, I would be notified by the bank that it was not good. I would be required to reimburse the bank who cashed the check and also the item I was selling. I spotted this scan immediately and had a little fun with him before telling him I was onto his game and not everyone in the world is stupid.
