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
