Haven't bought anything, but I've sold games, Xbox 360 controllers. The usual safe guards apply in meeting in a populated/well lit area, don't meet someone at their home or your home, etc.

Brother bought a weight set for the garage, has been using it for years, wasn't a bad experience.

I bought my ps4 off craigslist, sold a few things too.

Just ask plenty of questions and meet in a public spot

Yea I have bought and sold stuff on Craigslist. Actually met a guy's house but I agree with the others meet in a public place. Ask questions and for pictures of the item you want.

Over the course of my adult life I have sold 5 consoles, one graphics card, one ipod, and a TV on Craigslist. I bought one console on there as well.

All experiences were positive and legit. I am extremely careful though. Typically I like to have at least 4 e-mail correspondences with the person asking questions about the product and their reason for buying/selling, etc. I also like to talk on the phone at least once before meeting. If I get ANY hint of weirdness, I bail. Even if I feel the guy is 99 percent legit, I bail. 1 percent chance of meeting someone who is looking to rob or maim you is too much of a chance at all in my book. I only go if I am sure. I reposted the same 360 3x over the course of 6 weeks before I finally found the right fit. I don't take any chances.

In this case I'd be buying software I can just DL, although meeting is an option.

Something as simple as that... can you get paypal protection on CL?

Actually tell me if you'd be okay with a couple of these

Never had a issue but I always went with a friend too on top of meeting at a public place.

Odds in favor of being legit, but obviously be cautious at all times anyways. Never know who might be crazy. If you're just buying computer program, person likely won't be crazy.

I'd imagine there'd be higher chance of bad deal relating to bigger things like consoles, tvs, cars, and so on.
