Just need to be careful not only of fakes but also potential of being robbed.

I've looked but have never found anything.
CL is bizarre to me!

re: CCW. Had mine since 2005.

I wouldn't buy a Rolex on CL. A fella locally got murdered when he went to meet 'in public' to go buy a cell phone from someone. He and his girlfriend met the 'seller' and he asked them to drive him to his house to get the charger...

Well, they did. But instead of going to his house the 'seller' shot him in the head in front of the girlfriend and robbed them both.

Over a cell phone and probably under $100 bucks.

Here's what I bought:

Wow, Is that nice!!!

CL always scares me... i know a lot of people that get awesome deals on it, but it's not for me.

Never bought a watch off CL before, but have bought and sold cars via CL and got a deal on a diamond earlier this year.

I found my Ducati on CL...I usually check there for bikes since there aren't many other local ad options. My mother sells furniture all the time....hell, she just sold a door from a house she just bought and is renovating and the stove that came in it last night.
