I personally wouldn't, but at the same time, that's just how I feel. It's based on your comfort level and trust for doing this transaction; I'm more defensive, therefore wouldn't even consider it an option.

Yeah, its a good buy. People aren't looking to scam (hopefully) I bought 2 PS3 off of craiglist's. One Used (Worked perfectly fine, except the guy told me it was new lol) One New, and it was indeed brand new. Especially, if you test it out there is no harm. Just make sure they didn't tamper with anything and do some research just in case so yo dont get scammed.

Oh yeah, just make sure the neighbourhood isn't "shady" and go with a buddy for some "support"

I bought my ps3 new off craigslist for 300 (80g). I buy trade and sell games on there all the time. Not everybody on craigslist is looking to rip you off. Just use common sense and you will be fine. It's a great way to save money, just make sure you know what you are getting.

Craig's List?

The same website a man used to advertise his wife as a free rape victim on the grounds that he could watch?
