General PSA - Be careful when selling stuff on craigslist. I had an iffy feeling with this guy and asked him to send me a copy of his drivers license before we met. He sent a picture of a drivers license and I found the same one on google and sent it back to him.

This guy goes by the name of Gerald Hunter or Rick, and his number is listed below.

mid 40's Caucasian man?

904VT · 15 March 2017, 05:52 AM

I wouldn't even sell or buy a roll of paper towels on craigslist

Glad you figured out prior

Speed · 15 March 2017, 06:02 AM

Yup. That's why on rare sales occasions, I prefer to sell to a TS or dealer. Meet ups with strangers are not worth the stress.

Boaters · 15 March 2017, 07:00 AM

I don't think I would buy an expensive watch on Craigslist

Crazy - must have been a good feeling to call him out - should get a cop to "sell" him a watch.
