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 have sold dozens of items on Craigslist as well purchased items from computers to cars. Common sense exhibited during the negotiation is all that is needed to protect your interests. Never deal with anyone without ID verification. Insist on a landline phone number or a scanned driver's license. Meet the person in your garage rather than in your home. Have a friend or rottweiler with you when you buy or sell.

Good Luck.
