With an item around $300
I meet up in a WELL POPULATED and well lit area with a friend or family member and made sure that I counted money in front of them.
Cover all exits and escape routes just in case they get to jumpy
Another point is to see if you can go somewhere that the item relates too
IE: Jewelry store for gold necklace or electronic store for a MP3 or something like that.
Always KEEP CONTROL OF THE SALE and DO NOT let the buyer dictate your actions,
For 1k, its obviously something they want so they are more flexible. you shouldn't be at any point or costs. Its not a haggle its a straight sale. Any wavering and you just walk away.
If at any point you feel uneasy in the transaction LISTEN TO YOUR GUT.
Also, never walk or go straight home with the cash. Some nut may try to follow you. Walk around and deposit the cash at your local bank or something. Go eat, go bowling. Protect yourself. |
