Senh: Sound advice. If you're selling large items like a big screen TV, then only show it in the garage and don't let them in the house, not even to use the restroom. The point is not to let strangers into your house no matter what. Also, let them know that a lot of people will be there. If you take pictures of an item - for instance, a car - then make sure the license plate or your house number is not viewable in the picture. If you can, meet in a public place with a lot of people and security. The article mentions a bank is one of the most secure places you meet at because there's security and video cameras. Also, don't give out your phone number. If you call them, use caller ID block. Great article.
