I dont see why he couldnt have the "mover" do the deal. That seems the most simple option, unless his mover doesnt want to. Although, unless its family or friends, I dont see a regular mover being able or willing to do that either. He could send a money order too though. If he isnt willing to do that but is willing to send a check, I wouldnt trust that.

I dont like to ship either and want to do everything in person with cash. 13 days ago I had a woman call me about a CL ad I had up. She lives in MD and im in Northern VA. She asked if i could ship, or if i ever come to Maryland, and I said no. She asks if she can send me a personal check and if ill hold the item for her until her son can come get it (i dont have paypal, which is what she wanted to do first).

Im thinking "why would she do this, trust a complete stranger like this?" lol I thought about not doing it but I really couldnt think of a reason not to (though im sure theres plenty of reason not to). We changed over to text so we have the agreement visible atleast. I didnt hear from her for a week and got a bit nervous, but she finally set a time and all worked out. I dont think ill do that again though.


I havent had any scammer messages in a long time now that i think about it. I think they stopped when i stopped putting my phone number in the text box (they were text scams, never email). My number goes at the top section now. Iv always delt with out of staters though, living near the DC and MD line, but iv seen many sellers in this area say they wont meet or deal with out of staters, even though our CL page covers DC, MD, and VA all together.
