Thread: Waterville Wood Handle?

You actually sent someone on Craigslist a check? I've driven a couple hours to pick stuff up on CL and a couple months ago I had a guy drive 4 hours to pick something up from me (it was on the way to a friends house so it sort of made sense).
Rules for Craigslist are:
cash only
Meet in a public place
Carry your 9 inside your waistband or a 38 or 380 in the same pocket as your wallet.
Follow these simple rules and you won't get ripped off again.

Sucks but its the nature of the beast. If the check has been cashed and you have emails outlining the terms you may able to get the PD to help you out.

This isn't my first Craigslist purchase... I know how it works. I have a hard time believing that someone would go through the motions of signing and cashing a check to steal ten dollars, especially on a straight razor. Let's be honest, they aren't the most coveted items on the planet.

I wonder how many other people sent him $10 for that same razor . For $10 , most people will take it as a loss , and not contact the authorities . I would go to the Postmaster , and inform him/her of what happened . You have a cancelled check to start a "paper trail" . Good luck ! I hope you can nail the guy .

Thanks guys... I know $10 isn't a huge deal, but I went after the seller. After talking with the postmaster, it's pretty clear that it was never sent. I notified the police today and so it begins.....

For what it's worth, the next time I buy a straight razor online, it will be from SRP Classifieds ONLY. I trust you guys.

I'm glad to hear you've done something about this . It makes me mad when I hear about jerks ripping people off for $5 or $10 , thinking no one will bother prosecuting them . Kudos to you !

Swear I saw that same razor on the bay a few months back, I remember seeing those xx carved in it by the pivot !?
