Do you sale household items, cars, tools, etc by adverting online? I've used Craigslist in the past, but use caution on how my ads are placed (such what personal info is available) to try and reduce dealing with .... weirdos, for lack of a better word.
A friend says they instead use a local Facebook Group that is centered in their neighborhood. And, I've heard there are specialty groups (like for moms that are selling children's items). My friend says she feels that using the groups is a more secure method than using Craigslist, because with FB "you know who you are dealing with". (Assuming the buyer uses a real name/profile.)
How do you advertise online? Is safety even an issue for you? I dread coming home to a broken in garage because I've in the past let some stranger around my house, and they turned out to be a thief-with-a-plan.
