Do I let people into my home when I sell on craigslist?

Question

I am selling a large TV on craigslist. Do I allow people to come into my home to view the product?

Answer 1

Naw, let them wait on your stoop then drag the TV over to the door and plug it in to show people it actually works. If they want to buy it, have them pass the money through the mail slot. No checks, cash only.

Answer 2

If the TV is inside then yes you do or you could move the tv somewhere else.  But when some one comes to view the tv ALWAYS make sure you have a friend or some one with you!  Never let the buyer come on if you are alone of you do not know the person!!

Answer 3

It depends how comfortable you feel i guess. i would post a lot of detailed pictures on your ad so they can see it good. then talk to them on the phone first to make sure they are legit. And if they were planning on picking it up from you then they probably have to go into your house to get it.

Answer 4

You don't know who is lurking out there.  NO.

Answer 5

That's pretty dangerous. You should take pictures of your TV and post it up on photobucket or send the pictures through email to interested persons.
