When I bought a tank off CL's I told my husband it's scary that people will just give you their name address and phone number.
When I called him I blocked my number from showing for safety reasons.
The guy even said to be there at a certain time because he was going out.
We could have been anybody scoping his place out.

People are generally trusting, you have no reason not to until you get burnt in a deal. I bought 2 tanks off craigslist, and both I went to their houses to buy. I did make a trade from craiglist also, but I met them in a HS parking lot. I've also had people come to my house to make sales from craigslist.

eep. Sounds really awful. There are people out there to be careful of, but I kinda agree that most people are trusting and don't intend harm or fear.

However, I sold a car once and only put the sign on my car, parked about a 1/2 block away, and had my phone number only as a contact. I ended up with a creep that called me, threatening me, and when I told him to bug off, he said he knew where I lived and would be over in seconds. When he hung up, I *69'd him (to get his number) and the dumb dude didn't block his number. I called the police and they ended up phoning him and the calls stopped. I knew he couldn't know exactly where I lived, and that helped to calm my own fears, but it was scary none-the-less.
