Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only.

The only reason I persist in using Craigslist and Facebook is eventually there is usually a successful transaction, just resigned to having to deal with the professional scammers.

I know there’s a literal plethora of scams out there nowadays, but for those of us who haven’t had to sell anything online anytime recently, can you folks elaborate on some of the primary scams you’ve heard about or run into lately ?

Thanks.   

Craigslist is just a scammer's paradise. And FB Marketplace isn't a bed of roses either.  Many time wasters there.

I haven't used CL in years but I keep a "fake" FB account just for the purpose of buying and selling. No way I'm putting my real identity out there.

@larsman I have sold a pair of speakers for 11k cash. $850 is nothing and I would rather not deal if someone is AFRAID to carry $850. I was laughing. C’mon man.

If cash is an issue, how about a cashier's check?
