Guest Scrambled Ears Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Watmm, I put an ad on craigslist to sell a synth. Guy who wants to buy is long distance. How is the best way to figure this out so: 1. No one gets screwed 2. Don't have to pay a middle man (eBay, Paypal) etc Figured someone might have experience with this.

goffer Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) What those guys said, I'll add to be patient with craiglist... if anything does not feel right just wait for the next one to come around. Also, I always tend to mark up my asking price about 10% as haggling is inevitable. Another note, try to settle on a price before the meet up... I have had two dudes who said , "I'll buy it, let's meet here [...]" and I get there and they offer some absurd lowball amount, in the end wasting my time and gas.
