hav u ever been attacted/scammed by a potential buyer you met thru craigslist?

Answer 1

DEAL LOCALLY CASH ONLY and you'll be fine. I always sell and buy on craigslist. So much better than ebay.

Answer 2

Yes, someone sent me a $3000 Cashiers Check for furniture I had listed for sale. They said to go ahead and deposit it and make arrangements to have movers come and clear my condo and move the things to thier address in the meantime. It was fishy from the start so I always suspected them. It was also being handled by a 3rd party from Hong Kong?!!

I called the Credit Union that the check was drawn out of and they verified that it was a fake.

Afterwards, I hear this stuff happens a lot. Glad I wasn't dumb enough to fall for it! That is why Craigslist states "deal locally to avoid scams!"

Answer 3

It's been so many years since I bred golden retrievers........over 14-15ish? I'm very much retired and exhausted myself with giving the best I could. I must say that having read all of the answers........I would have taken on any "threat" by "anyone" if it meant protecting my puppies and their mother! Heck, I wouldn't even let a trainer have my Comet when he was in "Show". I was so protective. I took it all on myself with assistance. What I want to say here is that I'm shocked by the way that people act when they go to buy a tender little puppy, and they are just blank and clueless to needs. And Jennifer's post sure got the main vote from me! That little girl was OUT OF CONTROL, and the mother was TEN TIMES WORSE!! For me, I didn't have many issues, though maybe I didn't breed as long as some. The only issue that I ever had was when a couple came after I asked important questions, had them come to the home, had them bring their young daughter, and we sat down so I could "question" them. I asked where they planned to keep their puppy. They said outside 24/7. I immediately said, sorry I won't be selling any of my puppies to you. They asked "why"? I said, "because golden retrievers aren't meant to be outdoors 24/7 alone and without human attention....even in the evening hours!...They are meant to have a lot of human contact and my puppies needed to be indoors at least part of the time and in the evenings overnight, or needed a doggie door to get in and out. That was the only issue I ever had. Most of them were screened by the owner of the father to the puppies either first or after myself. Therefore, there were two of us that any and every future puppy owner had to attend for questions and answers. :oP
