As has been said by many, CL is not evil, people are. We have moved to a rural area and I have been using CL and FB a lot to advertise my sales. They work well, but lots of people request public meeting places. I would ba happy to oblige except there are no close public places here and the one thing that is rampant on those lists are no shows and looky loo low ballers (I just made that up). So, unless it is a large dollar item, it is not financially feasible to travel long distances just to be stood up. I do ask folks to meet me here and am fast to tell them to come with someone else. You would be amazed how many folks come alone. I am not worried about myself as I am protected. Of course, the good thing about a rural area is that others that have done business with me will vouch for me on these lists so folks know I am safe.
In my last home, Lowe's was less than 5 minutes away and meeting was never a problem...
