    @AngelMD1103 I had this same problem with Craigslist giving away free stuff. Can you help me take it downstairs? No, it’s free stupid

    @notdan @NSAGov Used to work there doing offsec (CNO & CNE). Can confirm. For a minute there we knew Al Queda had moved from stego embedded Craigslist ads to WoW (2012/2013 time frame). We had found one server that was like a hot bed for comms.

    @washghost1 I had once bought a broken Samsung refrigerator for $ 300 on craigslist. The similar model still sells for little less than 2k. It pooled water under the freezer below, and the top refrigeration didn't work. I replaced the evap fan and patching some holes left by previous repair attempts, and removed the faulty drain valve insert by cutting out the valve itself with a utility knife. It has been working flawlessly for more than three years now. It seems Samsung still has a lot of room to improve on their long-term consumer testing.

    @4EVARDR1 @Rothmus seeing some on craigslist. Autotrader looks like its down though, idk but I'm back-n-forth between Central America and the states. I see a lot of decent used cars in Atlanta and in Central America but more expensive in Central America.

    @PS0302 @lyndseyfifield @SammyBarrow32 Can definitely fix appliances yourself but it almost always means getting new parts. Meanwhile the frozen food is going to waste and probably has to be emptied anyways to make repairs. Best solution is cheapest freezer you can find on craigslist to tide you over. Maybe even rent

    @TheecomMike Most founders try to solve revenue with more traffic because traffic feels fixable. Meanwhile the real problem is the store converts like a Craigslist ad and the AOV is anorexic. Buying more clicks before fixing RPS is just paying extra to prove your leak is still there.

    @traff1c_junky yeah any year CRV is sought after, especially ones that are much easier to fix like your ‘98. I’d post it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc and get way more money than Carfax trade in

    @47People When l picked up Bruno as a puppy on Craigslist, l went down a dark road, they released two German shepherds to me full grown in the dark, they sniffed me, l didn't show fear. The owner checked on Bruno for some years after that sale to me. D

    @Sundance88088 @Ravious101 The police would literally not care about theft of services because they would tell you it's a civil issue when to go to court file a lien against the home for unpaid work. Which is what you're supposed to do and if you aren't some third-rate hack working off of craigslist with no license you're going to have all the documentation needed to go to court show work was done to spec, literally have paperwork from start to finish, And that case is going to last all of 15 minutes. Or, you can destroy someone's property, likely not get paid anything and ended up having to pay to have it replaced, That's assuming you weren't arrested for felony vandalism which is a very real possibility.

    @cSchaez I think the issue is that my car genuinely does run fine, but if you look at all the listings around it on autotrader / craigslist a lot of them are actual scams or don't work. So people just understandably avoid the whole category

  • marinwaves
    Marin Petrov (@marinwaves) reported

    @RichDecibels Wow.. that surely sounds automated. I also got "almost" scammed, but the scammer got confused and backed off, funny story too. Been selling gardening mulch at home. Put it on the Bulgarian "Craigslist" and got a reply 1 minute after I published the ad. The guy started asking me in a DM if it's possible to send it through the post office in an unusual way and for him to pay on delivery, then I said, "Are you sure? It is almost a ton of mulch. You will need a truck to get it and It will cost you a lot of money just for shipping." and I guess that triggered his LLM to do a compute error or something cause he never replied back.

    @MakadiaHarsh Craigslist is still one of the ugliest sites on the internet and processes billions in transactions. Speed to solving the problem will always beat polish.

    Because: Your price was too high Your marketing was poor It has too many problems or clutter You thought Craigslist had worldwide exposure. Call a professional... Contact me if you're in Northern California.

  • OLUDAVID_D

    A young Swedish woman, who described herself as having extraordinary beauty and extremely seductive charms posted an anonymous ad on Craigslist stating that she was looking for a wealthy man to marry with an annual income of over $500,000, plus several conditions. She received a response from a commenter, as follows: - My dear beautiful lady... I read your post with interest, and I think many beautiful girls have questions similar to yours. Allow me to analyze your questions as a professional investor. My total annual income is over $500,000, which perfectly matches your requirements. From my perspective as a businessman, it would be a bad decision to marry you. Here's my short answer, and let me explain why: "Regardless of the details, what you're doing now is a pure transaction. An exchange of your "beauty" for "my money." Person A has the beauty, and Person B will pay money for that beauty. A perfectly fair and straightforward transaction. However, there's a fatal problem here: your beauty will inevitably diminish over the years, while my money isn't expected to diminish without a strong reason. The truth is, my income will likely increase from year to year, while you won't be any more beautiful in a few years. So, from an economic perspective, I represent an "asset" whose value increases over time, while you represent a "consumer" asset whose value decreases. If your beauty is all you own, things will get worse because you won't be a normal consumer product, but rather a product with a very high depreciation rate that will completely expire within 10 years.

    @RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

    @BigDickBarclay I pay him in cash. My electrician is a dude I found on Craigslist that smokes an absurd amount of ********* and has wired my entire house above code. The building inspectors were genuinely impressed by his work I'm a carpenter. I can come and go and fix surprisingly...

    @J3ssicaStarling People pushed for COMPANIES to have to be responsible for the content they HOST. Since UNDERAGE girls, Trafficking victims, and REVENGE porn victims couldn’t get photos of themselves taken down. ******** and Craigslist CHOSE to remove the ability to post yourself safely to save $

    Brian J. Shaw (@ExUtahSports) reported

    @cfbtalk07 @MattBakerCFB Wrong; an issue that recruiting services media wanted. Remember, it all started in the mid-2000s when ads on Craigslist looked for people who, and I’m relaying this from my own exp, “liked sports.” From there, handed thick folders filled with data pts and sent to cover HS games.

    a recent desire of mine is getting a huge *** desk one would see in a cartoonishly evil ceo's office in kids movies. the issue is that these desks are wooden and big which means they are expensive as **** unless i go trawling through craigslist and luck out on a free one.

    @HollowAfro @ChaiDeluxe Keep checking FB marketplace and Craigslist. Good ones pop up on there at a good price, but you have to be quick about claiming and picking them up. Also, if you see that a marked up one has been on the market for awhile, you might be able to haggle them down.

    @ichewthings I once adopted baby rats on Craigslist. I went inside the house. A cat came down the stairs and jumped on a chair. No less than a dozen rats then came down the stairs and jumped up after him and made a rat pile right on the cat. Cats are bros too.

    @13B_SWAPPED @HankHil82749816 My buddies dad would keep buying him burner cars, these ones that run but with tons of issues from Craigslist for 500-1k every few months because we’d run them into the ground, crash, etc. an alcoholic repairman lived in their shed and illegally gave him inspection stickers

    @0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.

    @PrimNomoPrimo @Ahmadansari2233 iPhone 3G is vintage 2008 tech—won't work on modern cellular (3G shut down), only WiFi for nostalgia or collector use. Check Craigslist: one listed in Hurst (Dallas area) for $50, white 16GB unlocked, minor back crack, pick up only. Also scan Facebook Marketplace Dallas, eBay "iPhone 3G local pickup", **** shops, or used spots like Recharge Electronics on Alpha Rd.
