Would you buy jewelry off of craigslist?

[bretay]

no i wouldn't....it's too dangerous....be careful

[honeyflower93]

Probably not. Maybe other things like furniture or clothing. Some people are very good at distinguishing real and fake jewelry. I'm not one of those people.

I would be a little worried about craigs list, try a local online selling blog first.

I would buy jewelry from Craigslist if it was what I was looking for. I'm not afraid of Craigslist at all.

It will depend on how good it looks or how much it is being selled for. If it is selling for a low price then I know its no good.

[tuyetmai]

I don't think that would for it a try.  There are a lot of things not good to buy on Craigslist.  And there are a lot of story bad going on so becareful on what you buy on craigslist.

I wouldn't buy anything on craigslist, to many nuts on there

[davidh121]

I don't really wear jewelry and I think the people I would shop for would feel hesitant receiving jewelry used. If I was more open, I would more rather choose from Ebay with PayPal backing than with Craigslist, which I don't have as much assurance on the legitimacy of the purchase.

I have a lot of semiprecious jewelry (mostly rings) - not real expensive pieces. Sterling, 10k gold with stones like aquamarine, amethyst, etc. They aren't cheap costume pieces by any means, but not more than $100 or so each. I would like to sell them as I cannot wear them and get no use out of them. I have tried going to jewelers with no luck and *bleep* shops just offer price of gold which is next to nothing and these are not junk or broken pieces. i was thinking about selling on craigslist but wondered if people actually would buy from there. Any thoughts?

I would be afraid to. It could be fake and you would have a hard time getting your money back. You would have to be real sure of the one selling it. I would not take the chance. BMaston12

Doesnt anyone understand, she is trying to sell it on craigslist not buy things. I think everyone is confused.

LOL, thanks. I think just the topic of jewelry and craigslist is being seen by some, but I appreciate the variety of responses. Thanks for trying to clarify.

I personally would not purchase jewelry from Craigslist, but I am sure others would. Good luck!

[pressman]

I have sold a lot of stuff on craiglists would not buy jewerly never know where it came from

[misi49]

I would never buy jewelry off of craigslist, ebay or any other website besides a reputable jewelry retailer.  Even though there are some honest sellers on these sites there are too many others that can not be trusted.  Whenever I buy jewelry I want to be sure I am getting what I paid for.  I want the real deal - silver, gold, diamonds - not some fake.

They just understand what your trying to say. You want to sell not buy. See I understood

[Nancy5]

I understand you want to sell not buy.  I seriously don't know if I would use craigslist.  The only way I would ever consider would be meeting in a neutral place, NOT your home, don't ever use your phone (caller ID), or give your number out, there are ways to look up your address from your number.   Try a parking lot in a busy mall or someplace with alot of people.  Of course you know to only accept cash.  I don't know what sex you are, but I would make sure my husband, brother, or any male would be with me.  I have sold a few things on craigslist with no problems, but that was many years ago.  Sadly things have changed, but good luck if you decide to use craigslist, just be careful and I hope you make a killing!

[jcalexis]

It depends of the deal being offered. It has to be something that I really like.
