Best scenario

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

Whenever I sell something like that I make sure they can see that i have a concealed weapon. Last time, I had a young man call me about an amp I had for sale. Went to meet him, I got out of the car and mad sure my shirt was tucked into my gun holster. I was like oops, sorry man, I have a concealed weapons permit, hopefully that doesn't bother you. He said it didn't, but needless to say he said he was going to his house and come back with cash and never returned. He was just planning on jacking my amp until he saw I was carrying.

Man, he probably thought you were going to make him pay you and not give him the amp.

Seriously, though, I make a checklist in my head when I do a trade or any CL transaction:

1. Not at my actual house

2. Stick to daylight hours

3. Bring a buddy

4. Let someone else know when we're going and when we're done

5. Pick somewhere public

6. Plan an exit strategy

Follow those and you'll never go wrong. Sounds like an overbearing parent's rules on their kids dating, but it hasn't failed me yet. The flakes and the guys who want to jack you will never agree to all those terms.

Decaf version of this is pretty awesome. Just wish the rest of his album was as well done. Every band the lead singer's been in has been a one hit wonder.

why does everyone think craigslist transactions are dangerous? I have done nearly 100 transactions in multiple cities across the state and so far they have gone down perfect and I always ended up chatting for a while with the other party about audio and other random crap.

If you're worried about your saftey have them meet you at walmart or a place with cameras

Meet in a dark alley at 2 or 3 in the morning, when they show up hit them with a club rendering them unconscious, then take their money and keep your sh^t.

So far I've never had a problem. I've always asked if the person wants to meet at a gas station or somewhere public. I'd never take a mother ****** to my house! But when I meet up, I case the scene. Just to be sure of who what why when where how weapon. If it looks ****, I'd call and say hey I can't find you meet me inside of said place and let people see you all.

Mumbling in between sentences with each other also helps people think your off you're rocker too. May help!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wacky.gif.cf4a48f9e6dfe9504ffd2c946fd2f340.gif
