After one email I insist on calls only that will tell you the rest. Ignore texts.
I find it simple and easy to use.

I dont post a phone and ask anyone interested to leave their phone number in a email and I will call them back.
I always put CASH IN PERSON unless its a big item than its at the bank.

Its all common sense.

You can always meet at a Police Station parking lot for safety.



You do get scammers and low ballers but you get the same on most sights and CL is FREE

The fact that these scam ads still exist after so many years, and most are easy to spot, means that there are some people falling for them.

I've sold a 4 wheeler, waverunner, and a tractor on CL without any problems. The trick is to post a video and the calls come within 24 hrs. I sold all three in a couple of days
