Hello, well I'm selling an extra phone on Craigslist. Found a few people interested, and I'm suppose to meet someone this weekend and sell the phone to him.
I already mentioned I will only accept cash. Are there any other things I should know to protect myself from a possible scam? I've never sold anything on Craigslist, so I just want to be careful.
I also told this person to meet me at a public spot like Starbucks so they don't try jumping me for my phone.
Any other suggestions? Should I provide a written receipt or something? Should I check ID, should I provide my ID on a hand written receipt? The phone is in perfect condition, should I ask him to sign something saying he is purchasing as is in good condition? I know these are stupid questions, but I've never sold things on Craigslist and I just want to protect myself from a possible crazy person.
Thanks
