I've both bought and sold on CL with all good results so far. I sold a folding boat and outboard motor, a motorcycle, and bought a Nikon strobe light and a slightly used snowblower. I always meet at a public place, preferably a police station if there is one nearby, figuring no scammer is going to want to meet there. It also makes the other party more comfortable.
That said I am a bit wary of it because of all the poor results I've read about and having recently joined the nextdoor forum near here I'll be more open to buying/selling there than CL.
