62 Merriman AvenuePlan the handover before you leave
Meet in public. Inspect before paying.
Safe Zones are recommended public meeting points around campus. They reduce risk, but they do not replace good judgement or a proper item inspection.
1. Confirm in CampEx chatWrite down the item, condition, price, time, and exact meeting point.
2. Choose daylight and foot trafficAvoid private addresses, quiet corners, and late-night collection.
3. Check the item firstTest electronics and inspect condition before sending or accepting payment.
Recommended meeting points
Pick a place both people can identify.
Agree on the specific entrance, counter, or landmark. A vague location creates confusion and makes it harder to notice when plans change.
Three practical options
Choose the setting that fits the item.
For higher-value trades, prioritise visible security and enough time to test the item properly.
The Neelsie
Useful for everyday items and textbook handovers. Agree on a specific entrance or food-court landmark.
7 De Beer RoadJS Gericke Library
Covered, central, and easy to identify. Use the public turnstile area and avoid blocking entrances.
Victoria StreetAt the meeting point
A good handover is calm and unhurried.
Bring what was promised
Sellers should bring the item, included accessories, and any condition details discussed in chat.
Make space to inspect
Buyers should be able to open a textbook, power on a device, or check the relevant parts before paying.
Leave if the situation changes
Do not continue if the location, person, item, or payment terms differ from what was agreed.
