don't go alone and if u do go alone make sure you are packing... glwt in cali.

Craigslist has been off my list since the guy in GA got a couple from Atlanta to bring down their 60s Mustang for him to look over and buy. Instead, he shot them both and drove off in the car.

We changed to FB buy/selling because of the crime with Craigslist

I meet in the parking lot of the county 911 Center. There are cameras all over and generally a couple of cops inside completing reports. If someone won't meet there, no deal.

The Fda Is Stupid... Smokers Will Smoke More To Get Their Fix. ,.......rage

That's what happened to me when I switched from Red Marlboros to Merits, then Merit lights, and finally to Merit Ultra Lights. I went from a pack a day to two packs a day.

I know the last time we used CL, we met at Ringgold police department. Since we've moved back to Bama more deals for boats, cars, parts, ect are found on FB for us.

I am not sure the FDA is stupid but I do believe that their stated goals are not the same as their operational goals - I think the FDA is corrupt.

I don't have a Facebook account but I have heard that is where the action is today.

I've never posted anything for sale on Craig's list, but back in 2000 I ran a newspaper ad to sell my two year old Jeep Grand Cherokee and the guy that responded asked me to meet him at a food mart/service station where the lights were bright enough to check it over at night. During the test drive one of them mentioned that they were both DEA agents, so I didn't have to worry about them hijacking the car. I told him I brought the 5 cell tactical flashlight for protection. I should have brought the 9mm.

The test drive went fine, but my price was a little more than they wanted to pay. I sold it later to a grandpa who bought it for his grandson to drive to college.

Nowadays, I think I'd just make the drive and sell a car to CarMax for Kelly Blue Book prices. I just traded my 2013 Ram Big Horn for a 2017 Ram Laramie LongHorn and got KBB trade-in value for the the 2013. I won't be selling vehicles through newspaper ads anymore.
