I have a love hate with kijiji -I always respond back -lowballers drive me nuts -listed a nice 3/4 spring coat (my daughter's for 5.00) then knocked the price down to 4.00 had someone message me for 2.00-then I had the man who bought my moms walker go to give us 10.00 cause we delivered it -he was older (85) didn't want to take it -but him offering was kind-I think I will pull ads come fall -it does get to you somedays the stress

Probably. I thought I described it pretty well. It was older, etc. However, it was for $5. Not sure what she expected for $5. It worked and was clean. Oh well. THat being said, the last few times I did sell, with meeting people at a Timmie's, etc, didn't go badly. I just find it's a hassle often with low ballers, no shows, sob stories innudating your email. Sometimes it is hard to sort through it and find serious people. But, it has gone better the last few times.

Made arrangements with a woman to buy something and was all set to go there in the evening and pick it up. She emailed me and said, oh someone else came by and wanted it so I sold it to him. GrRRRR!
I just sold my bread machine for $40, which was awesome! Just put our bike carrier up. Let's see if we get takers on that.

I have textbooks listed on there and a girl in London Ont. asked if I would ship it since it's one she needs...Okay sure no problem if she pays me first. She agrees and asks if I will include shipping in the price of the textbook. Okay I don't care since it's an older textbook and I just want them gone and shipping is only going to be around $8-9 since it's a softcover text. Well I wake up and find she has only sent half the money with a note she will send the rest when she receives the textbook. I don't think so. I emailed her and asked if she expects to buy merchandise online and only pay half until she receives it in the mail. I refused payment and told her if she sends the full amount I will gladly ship it out and give her the tracking number, but that I expect the funds in full before taking the textbook to the post office. I smell a scam.

Lot of scams on Kijiji and dangerous people.
I really feel sorry for Hamilton ( ON ) man Tim Bosma and his family, he was trying to sell his car online and was killed by the buyer's . Can't even imagine what his family is going through.
Another guy in BC was trying to sell an engagement ring on Kijiji , he was stabbed and ring stolen by the people who came to see it.
Be careful when you sell stuff online.

Whenever I buy/sell, I go to a populated area, never give out my address, and always take hubby with me. There are crazy people out there, and you just never know!

I'd send her money back if I were you. Smells scammy to me too. If i were you, I'd sell books through TUSBE.com. I sold SO many textbooks through that site when I was in school. It's for all the Toronto schools. Search by title or course code.
Sell it for less than the bookstore. But of course, sell it for more than you would've gotten had you sold it TO the bookstore

It's sad, but I think the important part is that when you do these exchanges, to do them in a public place with lots of people where you can call for help if something happens. I was at Second Cup the other day and some guy was selling a soda stream to a lady he met on Kijiji. Mega crowded place

I sold my change table online and the people wanted to come see it. At my house.
Mind you, I waited until my DH was home. But still.
If I had transportation to take it, I wouldn`t have let somebody off the internet come into my house.
In all other cases, I`ve gone to Square one (Near the police station) lol and sold items there.
