Idea: Cragslist Swap

I had an idea, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in this:

Craigslist is a great place to find good deals. I check my local craigslist at least daily, and I've gotten some really great deals from time to time. Occasionally I'll check nearby Craigslists, and I'll find a good deal, but it's not really worth driving for, and most people are hesitant to ship their item.

I was thinking that if anyone was interested, they could post their local Craigslist. If someone finds something that they're interested in, the local person could go pick it up for them. They would get reimbursed for the item, plus shipping.

Maybe we could work out a credit system. You would start with three credits, and when you have someone pick something up for you, you give them a credit. If you pick something else up for someone, you get a credit from them. That way, people couldn't abuse it, only buying things and never picking up anything locally.

What do you think?
 
Eh good in theory but I will stick to local.

If I want it that bad I will just trust the guy and paypal with him. Then again in my area not a lot of craigslist activities go on.


I did however get a good deal on my GTX 260 ^-^

If you pay before they ship ANYONE is interested in paypal.

Not if the don't HAVE PayPal. I gotten deals on Craigslist from people that are in highschool (no credit card). I've also spoke with plenty of people that just don't do online transactions. Either they don't want to bother with it, or they don't trust it.
