When buying from craigslist I don't carry anything with me except drivers license and keys. Everything including credit cards stay home and I let someone know where I am at. In case the person tries to rob me, they will get nothing and if I don't call to check in within 20 min then my friend would call my cell to make sure everything is OK. I hear stories about people getting robbed on craigslist so I would also advise to do it at a public location like a store parking lot.
