Not my experience. I just sold a nice lathe and a nice antique tractor
on the DFW Craiglist. Inquiries were numerous and pleasant, both items
sold fairly promptly. Made a few new friends too.

Good for you, my experience has been different, though I do not mind
Craigslisters as buyers -- only reporting what I learned.

And I've bought a bunch of stuff on CL in the last year. Mostly
firearms, despite the *cough* ban. Pretty amusing some of the ways
people get around that.

Very funny and creative. Tangentially, maybe it is time for me to look
into .223 paper punchers, which I avoided to date, for reasons that
may not apply any more (more money).
