Can be. It's mostly based on the honor system. You can usually read peoples intentions through some good email back and forth, but I would never go pick up something for more than a grand without a friend or two for backup, just in case.

That's what I'm getting too. Don't know much about it, the website layout looks like crap. I wouldn't buy from that site unless i had a dependable source, preferably from someone who has purchased something similar and knew it wasn't just someone that decided to carve words into the guitar and sell it on the net. I'm skeptical but it's not like i have 15K laying around anyway.
 
I've bought a TON of shit from craigslist. It's nice dealing with real people, rather than websites. It's simple because it can be. There's nothing to buy FROM craigslist, only connections to be made THROUGH it.

I've pretty much furnished my entire house from craigslist. Multiple times. It's one of the last websites of it's kind.

VIVA CRAIGSLIST!
