This article will teach you how to safely buy products on craigslist.

  1. Know what you want- You NEED to know exactly what it is that you want.
  2. Know your price- You need to know what this item sells for used. You need to think about what the highest and lowest you will go for this product.
  3. Ask questions- Don’t be afraid to ask questions, lots of them. Ask what kind of condition it’s in, how much they want, what’s the lowest they will go, how you can meet and where, and anything else you think would be appropriate.
  4. Think about your decision- Make sure you think this would be the best deal you could make. Don’t be pressured into buying anything on impulse. Meet with the person more than once for big purchases, because you will need to see how it works, and make sure this is really what you want. Remember, if it’s a large item, you’re going to need a way to transport it to wherever it is that you want it.
  5. BE SAFE- Be especially careful when meeting with the person. Try to meet at a public place if possible, like a park-and-ride. Never give away any information you think they wouldn’t need to make this transaction.
  6. Enjoy your purchase- Make sure you remember to always live life to the fullest!
