When I looked the majority of the people wanted hook ups, but there were few posts for friend requests or partners.

Your thoughts on trusting anybody from there?

C'mon now... Perhaps 30-40% of the people are probably normal. As normal as anybody is these days...

I haven't actually responded to any posts there but I've been reading them for a few months.

I just wouldn't feel comfortable hooking up with someone from a combination for-sale / job / auto-and-car-sale / personals site...and I've heard the horror stories but don't know how many are actually true.

Sorry.

Oh, I was talking about the personals (well, not those in the section with the pictures of private parts). The rest are probably about 90% safe. When I was more actively looking for a 2nd fridge I still haven't bought , all the ads I responded to were perfectly fine and legitimate. Went to see two of the fridges, too, and as you can see I'm still around.

Well, that's what I was talking about also - the personals...

...I no longer seek relationships with household appliances.

You don't?! They're quite loyal I hear. Most of the time the relationships with them last way longer than many marriages.

I got my sons toddler bed from a lady on craigslist. She was upgrading to a "big boy" bed. I took a guy friend with me in case she turned out to be crazy "oh the bed's in the basement. Here walk down these steps into this dark room" it turned out my guy friend knew her husband and the pickup turned into a 3 hour get together and now we're friends.

That being said though...I don't know if I'd date anyone from craigslist but I have went to a few events that I've found in the communities section and met some acquaintances. I'd say take your chances but be very very very safe.

Well, yeah - but they come with guarantees and warranties, and you can always get replacement parts for them...
