Safety Tips

Meet in a public, well-lit spot — a police-station safe exchange zone is the best choice.
Bring a friend along for high-value deals; avoid meeting alone or after dark.
Inspect the item in person before any money changes hands, and never send a deposit to “hold” it.
Put the deal on paper — a signed bill of sale protects both sides.
Refuse wire transfers, gift cards, and crypto — scammers ask for exactly these.
If the price looks too good to be true or the other party rushes you, walk away.
