The second reason for lower prices here is the lack of buyers. Both Kijiji and TM reach a larger number of buyers therefore price should be higher on those platforms. Kijiji prices may be a little lower due to the above mentioned risk.
With TM/Stubhub taking 25% there is plenty of room between the seller take and buyer price for a lower price incorporating the risk / inconvenience to be agreed to on CP

I think risk is a legitimate concern. For both buyer and seller, I think alot of the risk can be mitigated through reviewing the party in questions profile and posting history.
