We are fortunate in Shawnee that our police department, years ago, created an internet sale exchange zone. Information about that can be read here.
You can also view an image of the exchange zone by clicking here. It is about in the middle of the page on the left hand side.
I urge everyone to take advantage of the exchange site. It does not matter if you are the buyer or the seller. You are dealing with a stranger. This is not the first time that an internet sale has gone awry. If the party you are dealing with does not want to meet at the PD, no matter how good of a deal it sounds like, please, pass the action.
