hm
Earlier this week I posted a baby quilt (leftover from Lyd's yard/craft sale)on CraigsList. After getting no hits and seeing the alarming amount of baby stuff listed, I reposted under the arts and crafts section yesterday. Today I had two hits. One suggesting another website that she thought the quilt would sell well on, and the other was very strange. The lady said I must be either desperate for money or looking for a job so to contact her. I deleted her e-mail. I'm not looking for a job and we're trusting God to do His part in providing adoption funds for the Wells while trying to do ours. I just wanted to sell a quilt! Between all the horror stories coming out about CraigsList and the recent article on human trafficking in North Carolina in Bobby's recent law journal, the last thing I want to do is reply to an e-mail from someone who thinks I'm desperate. That was more than a little creepy.

I haven't heard about the Craig's list horrors?

Granted, in these stories, all the ads were for dates or other "services" but there's been two other stories of people been robbed or attacked. It made me understand why Craigslist warns people not to give out personal info other than a phone number if necessary and to meet in a public place to exchange items and goods. It's so sad our nation has come to such as this.
Thats what I do when I exchange on CL. I don't even put a phone number. I met one girl at a parking lot and then when we sold the couch I communicated by email only and made sure Jack was home when they picked it up. I think CL is a good thing as long as you use good sense.
