So I've been on Craigslist

Well yeah. But that was a fixer upper.

Not for the poster in question.

I saw a add where a lady was selling a piano.

She said that they would need to bring enough people along to move it because she just had an operation, lived alone and would not be able to help them move the piano.

There's a free section

You can get about anything

I just checked a lot of crap but a guy was listing firewood. Just called and it's chopped and seasoned, he sells it but is moving. I'm picking the rest up first thing in the morning. He said he has a bobcat to help load it and insists he won't take money.

Do people still get killed or hurt through Craigslist these days?

Probably so, with regards to people trying to get sex or putting themselves in bad positions. You could probably buy or sell things there and meet someone at a place other than your home to complete the transaction. I found a guy to re-do my deck there, checked a few references, and hired him. He did a great job and I paid him, no problems.

Well, that will prpbably go well.

I'm glad we still have Americans like this

I remember going on there to try to find a cheap 2nd hand car when I was in Florida. There were some ads on there that seemed just creepy to me.
