Is there a negative to purchasing the phone off craigslist?
It's not directly registered to the owner right? I can just pop in my sim card and I'm good to go

The only issue is they may not honor the warranty if something does go wrong with the hardware in the future since you are not the original purchaser, although I don't know what their policy is, it is worth looking into.
Coming from a Nexus 4, this phone is a huge upgrade. I actually came from a Nexus 5 and I love this phone so much, it is nicer in every way, so I think you will love this device.
I would just get an invite and purchase thru the company though, will come to $364 or so shipped, which means cheaper and brand new.
At this point in the game, there is no reason for you to pay MORE than retail.
edit:
Have you read about all the problems? Yello banding
Ghost touches
Signal connection problems
etc.

I have zero of any of these issues and have had the phone for a few months. Yellow banding is overblown and I don't think any of the new build models have them (mine never did). Ghost touches and signal issues? I've not had those one time.
EVERY phone will have some complaints, even... wait for it... the iPhone!
I bought the phone, and sent 2 invites to friends who bought the phone, and no complaints at all. I don't run stock though either, currently I use Carbon ROM nightlies and could not be happier.
