Some people are beyond stupid. When dealing with craigslist, ALWAYS deal at a police station fucking DUH!

If you're going to sell bitcoins, at least do so in a crowed area with surveillance, like a coffee shop or something, damn.

There are actually spots around the USA with the sign "Safe Craigslist Trade Area" with 24/7 Audio/Video Surveillance. It all comes down to the person's knowledge, I guess. That's the right word.

Have yet to spot one of these signs, but surveillance cameras are a great start.

Seems some police stations offer/recommend this as as well:

That is exactly what I was referring to in my response to this post.
There are designated places now monitored by the police when doing these "online sales" of your items.
It is a closed area usually within the police station or an office at the side of the station where there are cctv cameras located so everything is caught on tape and you are secure in knowing you have this so called "backup" if any funny business goes a rye.
The police are right there and will go in hard if they have a gun or a knife trying to rob you.
Those offenders will be arrested right then and there while your possession you are trying to obtain or sell are kept safe on your person.
