Craigslist is a hunting ground for scammers. When it became evident that I couldn't sleep on a Talalay mattress I tried selling it on Craigslist. I had about 12 interested parties--all from scammers, who would happily send me a certified check (worthless) and then have their "movers" come and pick up my mattress--sight unseen--once I'd cashed that check. One even told he he'd give me an extra $50 if I withdrew my listing. Unbelievable! I don't recommend Craigslist for anything other than a good laugh.
I, like yourself, have had issues with Craigslist as well.Recently, while trying to sell a snowblower,I got to see first-hand exactly what you are talking about.Now,on the other hand,I have bought several items on Craigslist from people without incident.I guess you have to check out the buyer very well.
