The entire point of CL to me is that I don't have people in california or new york bothering me about my stuff for sale and if I'll ship it. I can sell or buy stuff locally with cash quick and easy, buyer and seller can look over the item in person and no complaining about some scratch that they couldn't see in the picture or someone not showing huge dents through creative photography... you see my stuff, you like it hand me some cash and I never need to think about it again.

When I travel I always search the local craigslist areas I will be traveling through but I ain't bothering someone in florida about something they are selling if I can't be there myself to look at it.
