I've never seen a Craigslist ad that talked about
shipping. Really, it's
local-only.
I?ve purchased quite a few computers from across the country via Craigslist. Just be
upfront with the seller and ask if they would be willing to ship. I always specify ?are
you willing to drop this off at a FedEx or UPS store and have it packed and shipped at my
expense?. Make it as easy as possible on the seller. 1/2 of my inquiries go unanswered
but 1/2 are willing to go to the trouble. Another issue is payment. Most Craigslisters
don?t like Paypal so you do run some risk of having to send a check or money order.
