Hey all noticed a lot of members putting there cell numbers on ads nowadays. I'd suggest against doing that as I had a member reach out to me about an ad I had posted, he put his number in the comments. He stated he had purchased the item after someone had texted him claiming to be myself and had the item for sale. He unfortunately purchased the item expecting it to be shipped from the person that was claiming to be myself and got scammed out of almost 100 dollars. Now he has given out his personal information as well. I would not advise having any contact outside of the site when it comes to deals unless it is a well know trusted member that you have dealt with before. Hope this helps someone

Nah, let all these marketplace and Craigslisters find out the hard way and they'll eventually weed themselves out
