All my ads end with: “Cash ONLY, no apps, no exceptions. All exchanges made at the (Local) Police Station.”
Very clear, and yet people still want to pay by app, or meet somewhere else, like at a gas station NEAR the police station. I often hear “I’m not comfortable going near the police station,” and I think “That’s exactly why I do it at the police station.”
Tbf there’s plenty reasons other than “robbing you” that people wouldn’t like cops, personally mine is “I constantly smell like weed which is illegal here and I don’t want to jeopardize my freedom,” for some others it may be “I’m black,” etc.
That said they can’t get mad if you’re unwilling to do the deal in another highly public place. If I asked “can we do it at the nearby gas station” and you said “no” I’d maybe think you’re overly cautious but that’s your right, I’m being overly cautious too about not getting arrested for smoking weed so I get it, “ok good luck, not for me then.”
Just saw a video of someone exchanging a bike at a busy WaWa, and the guy jumped on the bike and rode off. Being in a busy public place does not protect you at all.
Besides, the cops have to get close enough to sniff you, and they aren’t bothering with a couple of locals in the parking lot handing a guitar back and forth. You’d have to walk all the way out there, and that sounds like work, where are the donuts?
And besides again, it’s the 21st century, nobody gives a shit about weed. If you’re that paranoid, maybe you should cut back a bit. I’ve probably smoked your weight in weed, and I’ve never been that flakey about cops.
I was pulled over for speeding a couple weeks ago and the pig pulled the I smell marijuana on me. I smoke weed, but I was out of town working. Didn’t smoke any. I’ve never even smoked in my truck, and I didn’t have any on me. Clean clothes freshly showered. I got a little rude with him, we had a staring contest, and he went back to his vehicle. When he came back he apologized for accusing me, and still gave me a ticket.
He went on to preach about how if he hadn’t said anything that would make him a lazy cop, and a lazy cop isn’t a good cop. Motherfucker was about 5’8" and probably close to 300 pounds. Egg shaped. And he’s got the audacity to say a lazy cop is a bad cop.
Cops will still try to ruin your life over weed. If he’d decided that I was high, I would’ve been tested, which would have been positive because weed stays in your system for a month or more, so I would’ve gotten a DUI. This would cost around $10,000 and cause me to lose my job.
Laughing that you think being near a police station is doing you any favors. Pigs are more likely to tell you to shove off than give a shit about your problems.
No one in their right mind should ever feel comfortable being near a police station.
And you will never own one of the beautiful guitars that I’ve rescued, cleaned, repaired, restrung, set up properly, and sold cheap because I want to help someone else get off on their guitar journey on the right foot.
First of all, we don’t go INTO the police station. The exchange takes place in the parking lot, where there is a SIGN that specifically says it it a safe place for social media exchanges because it is video-monitored. ALL police stations have an exchange spot these days, it’s not only normal, it’s the RECOMMENDED way to make an exchange.
Nobody is sniffing up anybody for weed, as one poster soeculated. That’s just childish weed paranoia. That’s so 20th century. Who worries about that these days?
Nobody hates cops more than me, trust me, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be useful to me on my terms. I’ve done this MANY times, and I’ve only had anyone approach me one time, and it was the last time I met someone. I met them at a different police station that was closer to them, and while we were talking, a police car pulled into the lot. It was the end of their shift, but they saw a couple of civilians talking so they asked if the could help with anything. I just said No, they’re buying this guitar from me, and they said Cool, and walked away. They seemed pleased to not have to engage further, I think they only approached because they felt obligated to check it out, in case the boss was watching.
There are a lot of scammers, or worse, trying to get me to meet anywhere else. Like when I get a message at midnight on a Saturday night for some obscure McGuffin I’m selling, willing to pay an extra fee if I’ll meet them somewhere weird, but it has to be RIGHT NOW, late at night, because they can’t possibly wait until Sunday morning to get this thing that is not essential to anyone. Sure, you’re not going to mug me, steal the McGuffin AND my car.
The only people who think it’s weird to meet at a police station are people who DON’T buy stuff online. People who do, are totally comfortable with it, because they understand that it protects BOTH of us. Those who won’t, are up to something.

All of this is why I only buy things new or used from stores that ship to my home. I guess it’s a form of social dysfunction on my part.

Unless the buyer isn’t white. :P
White or black, no one should feel safe near the pig’s base of operations.
the singular “pig’s” makes this read differently
<ominous> Do not feel safe near the base of operations of the pig. </ominous>
Lol, now I’m gonna start saying “the Pig” instead of “the Man”.
Child molester
be selfless, don’t steal, stick it to The Pig
