I was kinda surprised by the 10% cut off the top. For some reason when I thought about doing this a couple years ago I wanted to say it used to be 5% for everything under a $100 and after that then it was an additional 5% someway else. seems like its gotten more expensive even with more competition...


My realtor was a big Craigslist guy and he would get deals on some big items...he bought lawnmowers and pull behind trailer...but he also said he had dealt with some shady people....people trying to rip you off, sell broken things, etc.

I have folks come to my house. I have a busy hood do the transaction outside. Never had an issue.once though I bought on c list some toys for my kid. This lady invites me in her house we go all the way upstairs and get the stuff. I pay and leave. Then I think damn that was super dangerous on her part, invite a stranger in with just you and your kid home.
