[Boatanchors] Craig's List

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I sold my wife's Yamaha motorcycle for about 3k. Placed ad on 
a Monday and buyer and I went to our common credit union and 
all transactions including registration completed by Friday.
 
Just put a small pedal boat on C.L. on Friday and buyer came
150 miles on Sunday with cash to pick it up. 
 
As John said, you deal in person with buyer or seller and price 
is agreed to before you actually meet. Take normal measures 
to protect your safety!
