1. Meet during daylight

Morning or early afternoon is best. Avoid arranging pickups late at night, especially for higher-value items.

2. Bring a friend

For anything worth over €300, or if the meeting is at your home, have someone else there. Two people is a strong safety signal.

3. Use Safe Meeting Places

Garda station carparks, busy retail parks, well-lit shopping centres. Some Garda stations formally support second-hand meetups — ask on the phone before you go.

4. Cash handling

Count the notes in front of the buyer, in daylight. For large cash sums, meet outside your bank so you can deposit it immediately after.

5. What to do if something feels off
