The local police parking lot trick is not always guaranteed to work. Meet inside the police building at least.

I did this a few years ago to sell a PS5 in the outskirts of Metro Detroit.

We were in communication with the possible buyers and saw them turn into the lot. As soon as we asked them to meet us inside they got cagey, hung up, and just left.

Fair enough on that point. I don't live in a particularly sketchy area. I think it probably depends on how popular/in-demand the item is as well. A PS5 is one of those items that was super hot back a few years ago when it came out, so it would probably attract a lot of people willing to do anything to get one.
