Does Craigslist offer a safe way to pay for things through the mail?
Q. Do you know of other sites like Craigslist, besides Ebay? I am looking for a Tagalog Rosetta Stone or similar language learning device.
Asked by bobs - Wed Aug 20 11:38:22 2008 - - 1 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Amazon sells Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur and etc., and a lot of people sell their used copies there. You could try them. If you did use Craigslist, I'd suggest you use Paypal for the payments.

How do I include a photo with my resume when replying to a craigslist email address?
Q. Many acting and modeling job postings on craigslist require a recent photo and I have no problem with this since I have watermarked and drastically lowered the resolution on my photo. The problem is, most recruiters use craigslist's free anonymous email addresses which only allow emails up to 150KB in size. I have already tried compressing my file size but my emails are still always to big. Any help?

A. Have you comparison shopped? If you try to spend roughly half what these cost, then at least if you don't like the snare you should be able to sell it and get your money back: test it out a bit and make sure you like the sound, obviously. test the sound by hitting it in different places around the drum... center, edge, rim etc... check the bolts and see that they look ok... aren't rusted... you're still able to turn them. It's ok if the skin is a little bit warn, but if it looks really worked... has a lot of dents in it from the sticks... or doesn't seem flat, then you will need to replace it soon, so that's another expense.

Can you get in trouble for selling a broken item on craigslist without telling the buyer that its broken?

Asked by Grotodius - Sat Aug 22 19:30:26 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Well that is definitely unethical and immoral. I do believe they could take your friend to small claims court for not fully disclosing everything and inaccurately describing the product. Especially if they ask if everything works and your friend lies. Chances of that are slim though, depending on the value of the phone. It usually costs money, time, and a hassle to sue someone...even in small claims court.
