Just want to point out that with cell phones, it's quite probable to get someone local with a different area code. Just say you can get a number when you live at one place, then move. You keep your number, but now the area code doesn't match where you live. Also, as the FCC has mandated that all carriers allow you to transfer your number to another carrier, you can move your number when you switch carriers, so you could keep a number forever, no matter where you live.

There are a few things I have learned....
Always put a phone number, but spell out at least one number to keep bots from stealing your number.
If your not comfy putting your # on there, Craigslist probably isn't for you, sorry. It's the best way.
Alway ignore emails, and always state "no emails " in your ad.
If u really want to sell something phone is the best way.
If something seems fishy, it is. I promise.
Always offer to meet the buyer/seller somewhere, I don't want some stranger casing my home.
The only sure thing is green paper. $$$. All else is a NO GO!!
If an ad has no phone number, 75% chance it's bogus
Never, ever, ever, send funds electronically. Ever. Your money WILL B GONE. Western union, money gram.
Many more things to learn, but these will save u some agony!
Just Thot I would pass some of my hard learned lessons on....
