Whether you're looking to unload an old TV, scoop up free
goodies, or score a MacBook on the cheap, it's hard to beat
Craigslist. The service lets you browse and create local classified

beneficially, there's always the chance you're dealing with a scam
artist.

The number-one rule is to trust your gut going into any
transaction.
