Yeah, I would AVOID IT.
Rofl! The same can be said about the entire internet and not necessarily just men.
I like the idea of Craigslist. There's no substitute for common sense anytime you're meeting someone from online.

Sadly, I know from experience!
One good thing about Facebook, if he doesn't have one or I can't see any posts from family or friends...just basic info..my radar goes off. What's he trying to hide?
Before my current boyfriend and right after my divorce, I looked on Craigslist. The LTR section(long term relationship).
This one guy I met on Craigslist , we went out on a few dates and he friended me.....he had no picture up. Just blank.
I got very suspicious. Why no picture? Why couldn't I see anyother info but his name? If he could see my info and see all the great comments my friends made about me.....why couldn't I see his?
Found out very shortly that he was married. All I had to do was actually just google his name. There was him and his wife giving a glowing review about the realtor they had just worked with!
I am through with Craigslist! Through! If me and the current BF ever break up, I would rather join a nunnery than resort to CL!

That reminds me of my own story...and my story proves that it can happen anywhere- not just craigslist
it happened right here on IC about a month ago...a guy (who fortunately already unsubscribed) read on my profile that I lived in Brooklyn, where he lives too. So he sent me a PM (about a CLEP) and I told him I didn't take that CLEP so I don't know how it was. This was a weird PM because all the CLEPs I took are posted on my profile too...so he probably just wanted to talk to me...(but I didn't know) He asked me for my personal email because he said that the IC email is slow, so I gave him my 2nd email - the one that I knew I can delete if something happens. After a while, he started talking to me inappropriately and wanted to meet me. Fortunately I said no...and I found out that he was married... Some people have issues... I don't know how but he got my cell number (which was really strange) and kept calling. However, my boyfriend was right near me and I told my bf that this guy is stalking me so he picked up and gave him a good yelling. I went home after and deleted my gmail account. The guy kept stalking for a while saying he's sorry and wants to be my friend... I couldn't take him anymore! He has a wife! and 3 kids! ....crazy story...

Craigslist is very useful. You can delete and place ads on a
Moments notice either free of for resonable cost. Downside
Is there are crackpots scams etc. It has served me well in

Thanks everyone for taking time to reply. My site isn't going to have a personals section. Anyone ever use CL for major purchases like a car or house?

I'm a member of a truck forum, and members there buy & sell their trucks through craiglist all the time. A friend of mine also purchased two trucks through craiglist, and I plan to do so as well in the near future (need to save a little cash first
). I also plan to test-launch a retail garden seed company through craiglist. As long as your looking out for yourself and being careful, craigslist can be very useful.

Be careful with service providers on CL. I was ripped off for 1400 dollars by a carpet guy. I also had a kid come out to tint the windows on my new car and I had to pay him to leave after he bumbled around in my garage for three hours. He put three cuts in my windows in the process.

I have a friend who bought his car off of Craig's List. There was some unadvertised rust, and it has needed a bit of work now and then, but I think was on the whole an excellent deal for him.
I haven't used it, but it is a good idea, provided you're able to act discreetly.

CL is great when you want to sell something with out all the fees. I have sold on CL and enjoyed the benefits of getting junk out of my house! LOL But I got tons of emails for spam bots and stuff like that.

Did you include your email in the ad or did spam come through CL?
