  @CLMSQ2 Can’t even reply to this comment, it’s too idiotic, especially when you bought a puppy off of Craigslist, your part of the problem

  ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU THE REAL PROBLEM. IT'S TOTAL INSANITY ACTUALLY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PUT 1300 PEOPLE INTO A HOMELESS CONCENTRATION CAMP AND CLAIM THAT ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS COME FROM DRUGS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY DECIDE IS WRONG WITH YOU WITHOUT EVER LOOKING AT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT AND THAT IS THE HOUSING SHORTAGE THAT THEY JUST CONVENIENTLY DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT 1300 HOMELESS PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THAT FACILITY? WELL THAT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH LET'S JUST TRY AND FIND EVERY ONE OF THEM THEIR OWN ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT ON CRAIGSLIST SO THEY CAN LIVE IN SALT LAKE CITY OF COURSE. DO IT.

  @BitcoinSapiens Rent aka splitting a 1 or 2 BR with a roomate, should have no issues affording it. Do people not use Craigslist anymore? Get a roomate and save your money folks

  @The8bitidiot The issue was so bad that Microsoft had to extend the warranty by like 3 years if I remember correctly. They couldn't figure it out...there were multiple mobo iterations. I used to pick them up with the RROD off ebay or craigslist for cheap. As long as the seal was still intact and would mail them to Microsoft, wait 4-6 weeks for the replacement, and then resell them for a decent profit. Probably did this 6 or 7 times. If memory serves correctly there was a "arcade" version you could get without a hdd that had HDMI and was the most reliable version. The cover on the disc drive was white instead of chrome.

  "I need a box truck to make real money." Nah. I started in a car after my 9-to-5. Saved $2,200 in courier work. Bought a cargo van off Craigslist. Then a box truck. Your vehicle is not the problem.

  10 years ago I bought a desk off of Craigslist of $75. I offered him $80 if he would deliver it (1 mile). I still have the same desk. Down to about .53 cents per month by now.

  In 2020 a 19 year old wholesaler sold me a house in the hood. I was convinced it was step one of a hundred million dollar real estate portfolio. I had just sold my company, DMO. First time in my life I actually had real money. Couple hundred grand in cash, the rest locked in stock with a restriction on it. I was like... this is it. Time to build a real estate portfolio. I was living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the time. Deep in BiggerPockets forums and real estate Twitter. Reading about BRRRR strategy at 2am like it was scripture. The deal was off market. Cobbs Creek, Philly. A 19 year old kid found it, wholesaled it to me, and I thought I was getting the steal of a lifetime. The plan was drive Brooklyn to Philly every weekend during COVID, renovate it in 3 months, flip it, and use the profit to buy two more. Classic BiggerPockets math. For context I cannot build IKEA furniture.... My first contractor was a cop moonlighting as a GC. Seemed legit. Showed up in uniform sometimes. I trusted him completely. He submitted $13,000 in fake lumber receipts. When I fired him he called the city inspector about permits that he had told me we didn't need. We got shut down for 3 months. So now I'm hiring off Craigslist. Everyone's cousin can do electrical. None of them can do electrical themselves. At one point I was standing in a hole in the basement googling "what is a french drain" while two guys I found on the internet watched me. 3 months became 9 months. I went $100k+ over budget + the cash i had paid for the house, i had to take a construction loan to finish it. I had $6M in stock I couldn't touch because it was vesting. And $700 left in my checking account. I sat on the floor of my apartment and cried. The lender would take the house and I would lose everything...$250k+ of my money. One of my best friends Nat lent me $15,000. My sister lent me $10,000. I finished the renovation with borrowed money from people who loved me. Sold the house. Made $2,000~ in profit. Got all my money back out. A friend of mine who actually flips houses for a living said "holy **** you made money? Most people lose their shirt on their first flip." That messed with me.... I thought I had just survived the worst financial experience of my life. Turns out most people have it worse and you never hear about it. The graveyard of failed flips is invisible. You only see the guy on YouTube holding the check. A few months later I bought a hearing aid brand, Blue Angels Hearing. A DTC company already selling online. Sounds random. But I had spent 10+ years growing businesses on the internet. I knew paid acquisition, I knew retention, I knew how to scale a Shopify brand. That was the stuff I was actually good at. We scaled it and flipped it to private equity in 11 months. Made more money in 11 months sitting at my laptop than I did in 18 months of driving to Philly, getting scammed by a cop, and crying on a floor. But I'm not sure I pull off the hearing aid deal without Cobbs Creek. When you're $250K deep in a disaster and there's no plan and no one coming to help, you just... figure it out. One thing at a time. Break the impossible thing into tiny pieces. Chew through it. You'll be someone different on the other side. Sometimes the only way out, is through.

  @MilderAnn @MrAndyNgo It won't. But they've been trying for years. PETA and Craigslist are funding the petitioner. What i think will happen, it will get people talking. And in the next few years it will be dumbed down to something like only 1k hunting/fishing licenses. And you must jump through hoops.

  It should’ve been coming down the Gold escalator, calling Mexicans rapists and people sending their worst. And also, people should not have fallen for T-shirts printed up ahead of time with craigslist offers to pay then to cheer for him. THAT is why dumb people get into a cult

  @trentjhughes I think someone just needs to build a real life looking for group app. Let people post in the most unfiltered sense what they're looking to do. Not a Meetup clone, boiled down like 2000's Craigslist. Only stipulation is there's no free version and you have to be verified.

  Airbnb's first growth hack was illegal. In 2010, they built a tool that auto-posted Airbnb listings directly to Craigslist. - Craigslist had the traffic. - Airbnb had the product. Airbnb didn't wait to be discovered. Instead they became a parasite on one of the biggest websites on the internet. By the time Craigslist shut it down, Airbnb had already stolen a million users. Growth hacking is just knowing whose audience to steal before they notice.

  I full on never bought another Xbox console after my RROD. I stayed with PlayStation. It was such a common issue there was people on Craigslist offering to buy broken ones and trying to refurb them.

  @PokeCardsDaily Yes but a this has always been a problem with high value items on marketplace/Craigslist. Should never have been trying to move a black label on marketplace especially in person. And if you think thats the only way you can get a sale done, do it INSIDE a police station or no deal

  3/ Miner capitulation means fire sales, bankruptcies, and S19s on Craigslist next to broken treadmills. NMT's break-even is sub-30k with debt service still covered. We buy the treadmills and run them on sunshine.

  Buy Right, Avoid Fireworks Scams Fireworks sales scams often spike around the Fourth of July, featuring fake websites, illegitimate online marketplaces (Facebook, Craigslist), and fraudulent "clearance" deals. Scammers often demand cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle/Venmo, providing no contact info. Inspect products for fake "safe and sane" seals and avoid unlicensed roadside stands. Common Fireworks Sales Scams: Fake Social Media: Scammers create social media posts advertising cheap fireworks or "after-holiday" clearances, specifically stealing payment information. Illegal Online Marketplaces: Fraudulent sellers operate on platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, often selling illegal or nonexistent products. Misleading Product Packaging: Products may be disguised, such as canister shells packaged to look like different, or sometimes, lower-quality items. Counterfeit "Safe and Sane" Seals: Sellers may use fake, non-genuine safety seals, particularly on fireworks that are illegal in certain areas. Unlicensed Roadside Stands: Temporary, un-permitted stands may sell illegal or dangerous products. How to Avoid Scams Verify Sellers: Only buy from reputable, known fireworks retailers. Secure Payment Methods: Avoid paying with cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle, which offer little protection for fraud. Check Local Laws: Ensure the fireworks are legal in your area; illegal fireworks are often sold via illicit channels. Avoid "Too Good To Be True" Deals: Extremely low prices or "exclusive" sales are red flags. Inspect Before Buying: Check for legitimate packaging and seals. Further insight into potential scams associated with larger vendors, consumers have reported issues with high minimum spend requirements for discounts as under covered by Ed Haury of United Fireworks.

  We built a garden shed from scratch replacing an old falling down shack. No plans just husband and I building with materials we could get off of Craigslist. It was so nice with the cobblestone floor we were like I don't know should we make this a hangout room instead of just parking the riding mower?

  @sovernTranch I’ve bought quite a few Craigslist cows and some recently. A lot of them look like that when they come home. They don’t look like terrible after 90 days of some care and worming. Put down the red man chew and your self righteous ego and take care of that animal.

  @paulg There is definitely a space for rented private workshops. Even boomers who advertise their ****** overpriced garage on craigslist as a cool workshop at the end basically get creeped out if you actually tell them you intend to use it as a workshop. It's a NIMBY issue.

  @Hot_Pepper76 It's happened since the internet began. Sites served a purpose like craigslist for example then scammer ruin it, cause the sites to pay so much trying to keep it clean they have to constantly change things, it's hard to keep anything free. They have to shove so many ads down your throat just to make enough to keep site going. I was on youtube to watch some video on how to fix something. I click to the link to watch & 2 30 second sds right away then vid starts & immediately back to same two ads. They get done and the guy on the vid starts with 20 min useless talk how he first got started with this & every minute is interrupted with ads. So damn annoying, these people just talk & talk & talk to keep you there to get more ads before they get to the actual subject you came for. Thankfully it's not nearly that bad when listening to music on there... Yet !
