  @shiv_cybersurg This is true but also not entirely. There are people who would buy and take (like me) but cannot "find you". the apps like @OLX are full of store folks. In US this is how craigslist was born. it has its own problems but I have sold and give away so many things over there.

  @rich_toronto It’s a mess, she bought the house two years ago and the builder buried a substandard plastic pipe in the basement. It developed a crack and pressure from the incoming city main eventually burst it. They lost their carrier AC and everything else stored down there. They are living in an apartment till this gets sorted out. The builder is being sued and the children have to be driven miles to go to school now. My son-in-law owns an underwriter firm and he’s having trouble with the insurance company. Be careful your insurance doesn’t send some character off of Craigslist to fix your flood damage.

  The other day I talked about buying a used gun. I had several comments about how I should never do that because you have no idea if the previous owner took care of it. I am near to tell you that is hogwash. Buying used guns is safe as long as you know what you are doing. I love buying used guns. You can find great deals and as a devoted cheapskate, I love saving money! But you have to know how to do it or your low priced used gun can quickly become a high priced gun. If you buy from a gun store you have some built in protections. If your used gun doesn't work properly the store has an obligation to fix it for you. Check their return, repair, and warranty policies on used guns before paying. But if it's a reputable gun shop they have already test fired it and verified it is in good working condition. And if there ends of being a problem a reputable store will apologize profusely and repair it for you at no cost within a reasonable time frame. If a gun store selling used guns doesn't make any guarantees, walk away. You want nothing from that store. But what about the gun you saw an online ad for from someone you don't know? It's a cash deal and an 'all sales are final' situation. The burden is on you to make sure it's a good deal. First off don't impulse buy a used gun you know nothing about. Believe me, I understand the temptation. I have more than one that was acquired due to raw emotions and thoughts of the "Must have the new shiny" variety. So I'm not judging you. But knowing what you're buying makes a huge difference in how well things work out for you. So you see an online ad from a guy nearby for a gun you think you want. You can afford his asking price. But is it worth his asking price? The first thing you need to do is see if it's a reasonable price. Just because you can afford it doesn't mean it's a good deal. Look up the new prices of that gun first. Often I've found that the used asking price is $50 less than a brand new one. If you really want that specific model gun, spend the extra $50 and get a brand new one that comes with factory warranties and no unknown history. It's always worth the extra $50 to buy those assurances. Then look at used prices. Search engines are your friend. No matter what gun it is, there is a recent sale of one. If the asking price is $500 you want to make sure you can't find 5 other copies of the same gun for $400. It is on you to make sure you are getting a reasonable price. If you agree to a high price and find out later you overpaid, that isn't the seller's problem. It's your problem. If you don't know how to valuate a used gun, learn first. On that note it is perfectly reasonable to be willing to pay $50 over market value because the seller lives two blocks away and you wouldn't have to drive an hour and a half to meet him. Your time has value. You also need to know how to evaluate the condition of the gun. This is more important than the price. If you overpay for a great fun that works fine.... oh well. You still got a nice gun. If you get a gun with problems it doesn't matter if you underpaid. You're out money and still don't have a working gun. When you meet up with the seller he will let you inspect the gun. That means dissembling it and checking the parts. Tell the seller up front that you'll want to do this. If he says no, walk away no matter what the price is. It is unreasonable to not let a buyer inspect the item. Doesn't matter if it's a used gun or a used leaf blower. But it is not unreasonable for the seller to want you to evaluate it quickly and make a final decision fast. So you need to know what you're looking at. You should know how to disassemble the specific model gun before you show up. You don't have to be an expert that can do it blindfolded while hanging upside down. (To anyone who gets the Major Payne reference there, you are my people). But you need to know how to do it. The seller should know too, but you'd be surprised. I bought a Glock off a guy once carried it every day for years. It was his go to side arm. He had no idea whatsoever how to disassemble it. You want to inspect the barrel to make sure there isn't pitting on the inside. (meaning rust that has been scraped off) You want to look for surface rust over the entire gun. You want to make sure there are no cracks in the frame or any signs of serious neglect. Any chips out of the metal around the chamber or rust are big red warning flags. Does the firing pin or striker come come through the breach when manually pressed? Check all these things and more. But what if the gun looks fine overall but the barrel has some pitting on it? Circle back to knowing what the value of the gun is in advance, you should also have an idea of what the individual parts cost in advance. Say you have a Glock 19 you want to buy. You should already know how much under new retail the seller is asking. If it is $100 less than retail but it has a bad barrel you should know that a replacement barrel will run you $100 or more. So suddenly this gun could cost you as much or more a brand new one. But maybe everything looks fine except the striker. The seller tells you up front it is broken and he just wants to get rid of the gun. You should know that the striker is a $25 to $40 part depending on where you buy it. And it's easy to replace. If that is the only problem you add $25 - $40 to the total price and if it's still a good deal, great! If you put it all together and function test it and everything seems to work like it's supposed to and the price seems right, enjoy your new used gun! For a gun like a Glock this is easy. They all work the same way and quickly break down in to 4 parts that are easy to inspect. If it has a red dot sight just make sure that work as well. Same for an AR-15 or any other easy to dissemble gun. But if the deal is for a .22lr rifle that has a bunch of tiny parts and requires tools to dissemble, that's a bigger risk. I can field strip my Glocks and inspect them and resemble them in 2 minutes. But I have a .22lr rifle that takes me 20 minutes to disassemble and needs a wrench and a screwdriver. (Guess how often I clean it? The grey gunk that oozes out of it will give you a hint.) A seller isn't going to spend an hour letting you figure out how to take apart his gun for a $200 sale. So this is more of a risk. I recently passed on a .22 rifle with a scope. It was $250 but I wasn't an expert in the model rifle. And with all the parts of the gun, the scope, the rings, any one of which could have been a problem this cheap rifle had the potential of being a really expensive rifle quickly. So I walked away. You don't want to buy a project gun unless you're into fixing up old ones and know how to evaluate parts needs quickly. No matter what, you're taking a risk buying a used gun without firing it. Now, if you can meet at the range and test it first, all the better. Nothing like seeing that it works properly before buying. That covers how to check the quality of the gun and pricing. But you also need to consider the seller. If you are bad at judging people quickly, buying used guns from strangers is not for you. When I buy a used gun I am evaluating the seller as much as I am evaluating the condition of the gun. Does he seem honest? Does he seem like he is hiding something about the condition of it? Is he covered in blood and in a hurry to complete the sale? You need to observe these details. Maybe I'm not sure about the condition of the gun but I trust the seller. I may be willing to take a little extra chance that it works fine. On that same note, you need to make sure the seller doesn't give off a "I'm going to kill you" vibe. If you are buying a handgun you need to transfer it at an FFL. Do your inspection of the gun and disassembly inside the well lit store. The FFL will want to see your driver's license and the seller's driver's license. At that point the seller isn't likely to be a criminal. I feel very safe in this situation being in a gun store where the FFL has a copy of the seller's ID. Bad guys intending to do you harm aren't going to do all this. They will stick to the Craigslist deals for a TV to lure in a victim carrying cash to a back ally meet up spot. But if it's a long gun and an FFL isn't required your guard needs to be WAY up. First off you can say you want to do a transfer through an FFL anyway. It'll cost you an extra $20 to $50 depending on your FFL fees but that gives you all the protections mentioned above. If you don't want to do that make sure you have a safe meet up place. And be armed. Do not show up to meet a guy you know will have a gun when you are unarmed. Do not be that stupid. When I buy or sell things on Craigslist I like to meet up in front of a nearby bank's ATM because the ATM has a security camera running 24/7. I used to tell people why I picked that spot and that I knew the bank manager who would give me the video (I didn't actually know the manager, but they didn't know that). I've had 1 person who wasn't interested in meeting me there after that and I was happy to not make that sale. Pro Tip: Don't meet to exchange a gun in front of a bank. That's called being a moron. It's a great option for buying a used DVD from Facebook Marketplace. But for a gun sale you want a public place that won't invite scrutiny over a visible gun. The parking lot of a gun store is often a good option. There will be security cameras. The people who are in that parking lot won't freak out by seeing a gun. You should check with the store first to make sure they are cool with it. They may even welcome you to do a non FFL exchange inside depending on how friendly they are. If the seller has any hesitation to a public place with cameras, stop the conversation and block his email. I also said if you can test the gun first, that's better. But don't invite a seller you don't know to your outdoor range where you will be the only two people there shooting live ammo. Be smarter than that. You'll be focused on the gun and inspecting it, not the stranger who you know has guns. If you can't meet at a populated range you should skip the testing part. Get a dated bill of sale that includes the seller's info from his driver's license and the serial number of the gun. If that gun turns out to be a murder weapon you'll be very happy that you have some evidence that you gained possession of it after the date of the crime and have someone else you can point the cops towards. Same thing goes if you are selling a gun. If the gun you sold ends up being used in a crime you'll be very happy you have evidence that it left your possession prior to that. There are downloadable blank bill of sale forms all over the internet. You don't have to make up a custom one. Finally, know the laws in your state. Does this gun have to be transferred through an FFL or is a face to face sale legal? Is the gun you are buying legal in your state? The odds that the seller is actually an ATF agent setting you up is never 0. Be smart. If he tries to convince you that you don't need to go through an FFL to transfer his full auto suppressed SBR it's definitely an ATF agent.

  Two action stars in Marvel's next billion dollar movie did their own stunts. The story is wild. Simu Liu got laid off from Deloitte 8 months in and spent the next few years as a stuntman. Channing Tatum was a stripper in Tampa at 18. Both of them took the hard road into Hollywood, so when the Shang-Chi vs. Gambit fight came up in Avengers: Doomsday, neither one would hand it to a double. Stunt doubles exist because of insurance math, not talent. A lead's face and hands are the collateral on a movie this size. One broken wrist and every other actor on an ensemble shoot sits idle while the schedule reshuffles, and the completion bond people price that risk in before a single frame is shot. The guy on the poster is supposed to stay in the trailer during the dangerous part. Both of these actors made their money on the other side of that trade. Liu answered a Craigslist ad for extras on Pacific Rim, then took the hits for a day rate on the Heroes Reborn stunt team in 2015, four years before Marvel cast him. Tatum's entire entry into Hollywood was that his body could do things on camera. When nobody would fund a movie about his stripping years, he and Soderbergh paid for Magic Mike themselves, $7M, and it grossed $167M. Tatum also waited 18 years for this fight. Cast as Gambit in 2006 for X-Men: The Last Stand, cut from the film. Solo movie announced in 2014, roughly 40 directors interviewed, killed in 2019 the moment Disney bought Fox. He finally got the coat for a cameo in 2024. Doomsday is the first time he gets a real fight with the character. Liu says the scene was painful to shoot. Of course it was. Every action star talks about doing their own stunts. Marvel hired a stuntman and a stripper, and they did.

  @NickPocheVOTE Reminds me of the H St Streetcar. My first landlord in DC pitched the streetcar in the Craigslist ad (!!!) in 2009. I moved to Boston for a year in 2011 & back in 2013 and it still didn’t open for another three years. And then shut down for good 10 years after that…

  I posted an ad on Craigslist last month looking for a roommate to split the rent on my downtown apartment. A quiet, polite guy named Leo moved in three weeks ago. Yesterday, while he was out, a process server knocked on our door and handed me a summons for a $200,000 defaulted business loan. The loan was in my name. The co-signer? My new roommate. My hands shook as I read the court documents. I had only known Leo for twenty-one days! I ran into his bedroom and started searching his desk for answers. Hidden behind his closet organizer was a locked briefcase. I forced the latch open with a screwdriver. Inside were five different state IDs, all with Leo's photo—but under five different names. Including my dead brother's name.

  Its jarring to go from the outside world, where I know nothing, to my apartment where I know everything. I got my lamp after Aella posted about it. I got a zero gravity desk chair on Craigslist bc I used to work from bed and figured Id instead work while laying down in a chair. Transporting it was hellish. I never lay down in it. I got the standing desk during covid for black Friday. I bought my Vitruvian Form in 2023 after realizing AI was Happening and it was time to start spending. I got my fancy bed at the same time. I bought my kallax from an ex who was moving. And got a 2nd kallax new when I realized how much I loved it. My couch was picked by fable. I got it because when Id been trying to comfort a crying girl but I didnt have any proper place to bring her to sit except my bed, which carried the wrong connotations as we were on a first date. I bought a Kaiser m3i bike in May 2020 because I worked out in my unit during covid. The happiest time of my life was when I used it twice a day while listening to audiobooks. I bought the perfume recommended by Derek Munro. I bought the expensive soap because a ******* twitter said she liked stealing that soap from men, which implied she likes it. I bought the tea tree oil shampoo because when I was 18, a shaman told my friend to use it. Years later she was going to stay at my place so I bought some but it turned out she had long since stopped using it. But it feels weird to throw away perfectly good shampoo. I bought the eyeliner because I thought using it could make me hotter but its unused because putting a pencil on your eye is terrifying

  @mexigreekmom74 Check out FB Market Place, OfferUp, and don't dismiss Craigslist. Even if its free and not running ask questions because it could be a simple fix from an appliance repairman. You'd be surprised how many people give away a good appliance that may only need a new belt for about $75 for a new $300+ machine.

  Every ******* time. I swear Facebook Marketplace needs a special button somewhere between "Message Seller" and "Is This Available?" that simply says: "This has absolutely ****-all to do with me, so I'll keep scrolling." Apparently, however, that level of self-control remains beyond a surprisingly large percentage of the population. I'm currently selling several tactical backpacks, operator attachés and patrol bags. They are brand new, most are still in the original packaging with the tags attached, and I'm selling them for less than their normal retail price. Some of them I originally acquired through BOGO promotions. Others I bought individually. Enter Fucknuts McGinty, Marketplace Economic Correspondent and apparently self-appointed Guardian of Other People's Transactions: "You can get two of them for that price from their website." First of all... No, you ******* can't. The price I'm asking is about $40 LESS than what you'd currently pay for the equivalent purchase. But even if you could, allow me to introduce you to a revolutionary concept apparently absent from whatever remedial economics course you attended: A BOGO promotion does not mean the second item has no value. It means I bought one item at full retail price and received another item as part of the transaction. Now I own both. They're mine. I can keep them. I can give one to a friend. I can donate one to charity. I can fill one with ******* jellybeans and bury it in the garden as a time capsule. Or... And stay with me here because this is where **** gets complicated... I can sell it. What I paid for an item has absolutely ****-all to do with what that item is worth to somebody else. If I buy something for $100 and the store gives me another one as part of a promotion, that does not magically require me to give the second one away. I'm offering someone the opportunity to buy a brand-new item for less than the normal retail price without having to spend the additional money required to qualify for whatever promotion happened to exist when I bought it. Buyer saves money. I recover some money. Everybody involved in the transaction benefits. Nobody is being deceived. Nobody is being ripped off. No laws are being broken. Capitalism continues functioning. The Earth remains in orbit. Civilization somehow survives another ******* day. Which brings me to the part I genuinely don't understand: Why ******** do some people feel compelled to complain about transactions they have absolutely no intention of participating in? Don't like my price? Don't buy it. Think you've found it cheaper somewhere else? Buy it there. Already own seventeen of the ******* things? Congratulations. Keep scrolling. There are literally thousands of other Marketplace listings available for you to look at. Yet somehow there is always that one miserable bastard who apparently cannot make it through his day without finding SOMETHING, somewhere, involving complete strangers, that he can ***** and whine about. The truly remarkable part is that my selling this bag has precisely ZERO effect on his life. I didn't knock on his door. I didn't empty his bank account. I didn't hold his dog hostage until he bought a tactical backpack. I posted an item for sale. That's it. Somebody wants it at my asking price, they buy it. Somebody doesn't want it at my asking price, they don't. This incredibly sophisticated economic system has successfully operated at yard sales, flea markets, gun shows, classified ads, eBay, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for ******* decades. Yet apparently we're still struggling with: "If you don't want the ******* thing, don't buy the ******* thing." There. I've just condensed several centuries of free-market economics into twelve words. You're ******* welcome.

  @r_zthai I’m glad I decided to pull and inspect the motor controller before completely pulling off the front panel - There were quite a few more screws to get at before that was gunna be done lol. Yeah, this machine is like the opposite of serviceable. Contributed a bit to my desire to replace it. What’s that old saying? “If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it”? Guess in my case its “if it’s a PITA to fix, maybe I don’t want to own it” lol Question remains: I can get a replacement control board on eBay for about $85. There’s a case to be made for fixing it and slinging it on Craigslist for a couple bucks to recoup some cash. Or just slinging it as-is for less, now that I’ve identified the problem.

  A company hated a tiny newsletter. So it sent the writers live spiders and a bloody pig mask.

  He slept in his car with $27 to his name. Five years later, he was worth millions. Not from crypto. Not from an inheritance. Not from getting “lucky.” He got rich doing something most people would’ve been embarrassed to start. Here’s the story: At 32, Marcus had lost almost everything. His job was gone. His relationship had fallen apart. His credit cards were maxed. For a few months, his entire life fit inside the trunk of a beat-up Honda. At night, he parked near a 24-hour gym so he could shower in the morning. During the day, he worked whatever jobs he could find. Moving furniture. Cleaning garages. Hauling junk. Then one Saturday changed everything. A homeowner offered him $300 to clear an old couch, broken dresser, and piles of trash out of a garage. It took him 3 hours. Dump fees were $62. Gas cost him about $20. He walked away with more than $200. Marcus immediately noticed something: People weren’t paying for the truck. They were paying to make a problem disappear. So he started posting everywhere: “Junk removal. Same-day pickup.” Facebook groups. Craigslist. Neighborhood apps. Handwritten flyers. At first, he borrowed a truck. Then he rented one. Then he bought a used trailer. One $300 job became two jobs a day. Then four. Soon he couldn’t handle the calls himself. So he hired someone. Then another person. Then another truck. But this is where the story gets interesting. Marcus realized the real money wasn’t in hauling junk himself. It was in owning the system that generated the jobs. He built a website. Started running local ads. Created standardized pricing. Hired crews. Added property managers, realtors, contractors and apartment complexes as recurring clients. Revenue climbed: Year 1: $84,000 Year 2: $310,000 Year 3: $780,000 Year 5: over $2 million. The guy who once slept in his car was now running a multi-truck operation with employees doing the work he originally did alone. His biggest lesson? He didn’t escape homelessness by finding the perfect opportunity. He escaped by solving an ugly problem people were already willing to pay to make disappear. Sometimes the opportunity that changes your life doesn’t look glamorous. Sometimes it looks like someone else’s trash.

You agree or disagree that we need to not rely on old data as much as past and continue mapping the market? “The lesson isn’t just conviction. It’s surviving the volatility long enough for that conviction to matter. But I’d add one more thing: don’t confuse an old cycle rule with a law of Bitcoin. I watched Bitcoin change in phases. I got into Bitcoin back when we used Craigslist to trade it for cash, ****, pizza, PC parts, whatever. You met people personally. Like any network, eventually you figured out where everyone hung out, where information moved and where people traded. Then exchanges came along and gave Bitcoin a real market price. Then derivatives, perp trading and DeFi showed up. By around 2016, we had enough history to map what looked like a real pattern around the halving. But the nerds watching this **** develop understood something important: The cycle was a map of Bitcoin at that stage of its life. It wasn’t doctrine. Bitcoin was still a baby. The infrastructure was still being built. Now look at it. Wall Street is here. ETFs are here. Corporations are holding it on their balance sheets. Governments that once treated Bitcoiners like criminals are accumulating it, regulating it and building policy around it. Stablecoins, institutional custody, derivatives and massive pools of capital are now connected to the same market. That’s a completely different machine. The problem is that as new people entered Bitcoin, they were taught the four-year cycle without being taught the most important part: The map can change. Over time, a useful observation became a rule. Then the rule became doctrine. I’m telling you now, after going back through the plumbing: The map is changing. The old cycle isn’t necessarily dead. But it isn’t running Bitcoin by itself anymore.”

  In the same way that Craigslist was a generic solution to the problems better served by more tailored solutions like Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and other marketplaces.

  Thursday, August 06, 2026 Today's Blind Items A Hairy Situation A lead actor and producer for a new CBS show recently had a Craigslist purchase go awry. The actor needed a hairpiece for a specific scene of the show he's starring in, so he began looking online for local listings. He saw a free toupee advertised, and he made plans to meet up with the seller to pick it up it. Soon after returning to set, he took the toupee and placed it down on a table next to the director's salad, running off right after to film a scene. After half an hour, the director came over to the table and found the "toupee" eating his lunch. It turned out that the toupee, was, in fact, a Peruvian long-haired guinea pig. The actor tried contacting the seller, who never responded. The guinea pig ended up getting adopted by the show's co-producer (who seemed unusually enthusiastic about his new pet), and costuming ended up buying an actual hairpiece for the show—one that won't steal the crew's lunches.

  @paultoo Gmail creates wealth. I pay Google annually so I don't have to run my own email server. Craigslist creates wealth. Not so sure about Google Search and/or Facebook. Both are too dependent on copy prohibition laws. They very well could be extracting more money than they create.

  it's probably becoming a non-issue because no one under 30 even knows what craigslist is, but it's genuinely mostly scams at this point. Not a website to go to.

  @MrHodl Don’t ever mention this in a Fred Krueger Space. All the influencers and follower collectors will think you’re trying to one-up their clout. I mentioned buying Bitcoin off Craigslist in Virginia Beach, and they missed the entire point of the discussion. Instead, they started arguing about what region of the planet Bitcoin started in. As if all of us nerdy-*** hackers weren’t already connected through BBS, IRC, and other comms and didn’t know about Bitcoin. lol We’re the same nerds who’ve spent decades keeping the defenses up. Attack. Fix. Attack. Fix. It’s always been cat and mouse.
