We've started venturing into Kijiji more and more.
Often times for cheaper items, we agree to a price and then tell people it will be in our mailbox or on our front steps for you to pick up. We ask them to leave the agreed upon money in our mail box. That way we don't have to sit around and wait for the doorbell to ring for some kid toys or whatever.
We always add in some line of "don't be the one to destroy our faith in humanity and not leave the money". I'm sure we'll get taken one of these days, but so far so good - people have left the correct amount of money every time. We've had a few no-shows, as usual, but no biggie as at least we didn't have to sit around waiting for them not to come...
