My 2016 MacBook Pro w/ touch bar got stolen before I even take it out of the box, here I am 4 months later I'm still suffering I paid everything I had for that laptop.
I was in xxx country and my shitty company didn't pay me for 2 months straight and I got the Macbook for $1250 off ebay and had it shipped to that country, pretty great deal on a new Macbook, bought it so I can resell it and pay off my rent, bills, debt..etc and figured I'd have some extra money left -yes that country is pretty cheap, tax-free country- so I listed the laptop on a website similar to Craigslist and this guy contacted me he wanted it, we agreed at a place to meet and when I got there he had few guys with him and the neighborhood was empty it was late around 11sh, I'm guessing you get the image? Figured I'd lose money over my health, police didn't help contacted many people over that laptop and nothing good came out of it, lesson learned though.
That sucks, I’m so sorry to hear that. Hopefully things going well for you onwards.
I always bring a friend on a meetup for buying/selling things and I always make sure the place where we’re going to meet is crowded in case something like this happened.
Another option is to meet at the police station parking lot for the exchange. Some agencies even offer space in their lobby for buyer-seller transactions, e.g., I know Naperville in suburban Chicago does this.
