Craigslist Buyer Not Paying
Hi guys. I was wondering what I
should do. A couple of weeks ago I
posted an add on Craigslist to sell
come concert tickets, three for $240.
I was in San Diego at the time, but
most of the year I live in Sonoma
County. Well, someone contacted me
for the tickets and this was someone
who lives down the street from my
apartment in Sonoma and also goes
to my same university. He could not
pay the full price until September
1st, but he seemed like an o.k. guy
so I said just pay me the full price
when I come back to town. So, I
mailed him the tickets and now that
September 1st is approaching I have
been trying to contact him with no
success.
I have the emails that we sent back
and forth as well as his parents
address and his home address.
Where should I go from here if I
cannot get ahold of him and collect
my money?

Where do you go from here?
Go into the bathroom, look yourself in the mirror, and promise you won't be so naive again.
As for collecting your money, you could try Sonoma small claims, but your loss is SO small that it's hardly worth the trouble.
Re: Craigslist Buyer Not Paying
If you promise to never do something like this again, I'll suggest that you first contact his parents and embarrass the hell out of him but keep it all to what you can prove with the emails. That often works. Otherwise, small claims court. Good luck!
