Anyone who post's a saw on craigslist wont ship to another state. "Pick up only" is the most common reply to my emails. Not like I asked them to ship the saw first, i'm risking sending payment first!:bang:

I'm entirely the opposite. I've only ever had one seller flat refused to ship an item. After brief discussion, most sellers are more than willing to ship. I'm not paying outrageously, either.
 
Maybe i'm just looking in the wrong place, or people want cash only instead of paypal or a money order.

I can't explain that ... my last out of town CL purchase was a Poulan 4000 from a guy in NC. I sent him a check and he called me when he was rolling out of the PO parking lot to tell me the tracking number. I find that it does help to chat for a bit with the sellers about the item being sold. The guy I bought my PM1000 from last year was real talkative; we were on the phone for an hour easily. He wound up throwing a bunch of old Mac parts into the box, thinking (correctly) that I could use them.

I don't know. There's a bunch of people on here that I've done business with. Craigslist not so good unless local. Most people are more then willing to unload their mini macs, I'm doing them a favor:D
