So I've been talking to someone from craigslist about trading my ps4 pro bundle for his xbox one x bundle, come to find out he's using a pinger number after it takes hours for him to respond when we are to meet, do any of you have bad experiences with craigslist and would you be wary of the pinger number? Not totally sure what to think.

I would not trust if he isn't using his real phone number. Typically when im doing a deal that involves a stranger I take all precautions and that just seems a little sketchy.

Don't rush to sell someone will come along, buddy could also give you fake cash remember that.

If he says he's gonna buy & you're just concerned for safety I would just meet him at a public space like a Police Station Parking Lot to be the safest

He may ask you to ship it instead and then go for a chargeback. Happens a lot on Craigslist

Meet somewhere open with enough people around with security cameras, take a friend with you to the meeting if you are afraid of being robbed after the fact or something like that.

Just excercise caution there could be a legit reason he is using a fake number but then it could be a bad situation and just make sure you think about everything he says.

If something doesnt add up then back out of the deal and block him/report his craigslist.
