highschool student , craigslist ?
im in highschool and i kind of want to sell something on craigslist and the only way i think i can do that is to do it in person. I'm not really worried about the dangers but i just need some opinion on people who have either traded with a random person that was like a young student or is currently doing the same as me. Is it weird? I mean, if i was taller i'd probably have more confidence because i'd look older but yeah.. Is it weird?

I buy/sell things on Craigslist pretty often, and I've never been scammed or robbed.
BUT that's not to say that it can't happen.
Scammers and robbers DO exist. For safety reasons, you should always meet at a public place when buying/selling any item on CL. (i.e., the library, McDonald's, etc.) Or have a trusted friend OR adult with you when making the transaction.
I actually bought a Retro Sports skateboard from a college student the other day (in his early 20's). We met in a McDonald's parking lot, he let me test the board, and I bought it. Simple.
And people on CL are just looking for good deals, they don't particularly mind if a high-schooler is selling the item. They'll buy it anyways.
Good luck :)
