Mary, there’s no risk in buying older phones on craigslist. I sell lots and lots of gear and buy lots of gear on CL and never in the life of craigslist have had a problem. You just meet the person you’re dealing with and try the unit out. Easy enough to call and make sure the phone is free and clear with the carrier. I also let anyone buying my gear give it the once over before handing over the cash. Stick to cash on the barrel head and give a fair amount of time to insure the goods are as advertised and you’re good to go. I use a McDonalds down the street as a neutral meet up point where there is 24 hour surveillance so everything is also on camera. In california I used the neighborhood Quickstop.
