    I've only ever been employed for less than 10 days my entire life, split across 3 different jobs. Funny enough, 2 of those jobs I got scammed. So, I can understand why a lot of young folks may have negative opinions on businesses. 1) Dog walker when I was 19 years old, found a small business on craigslist. Said $13/hour. I spent an hour training with the owner, then went to work the next day. During a normal shift of 6 hours, there'd be a scheduled route for all the clients. Many of the clients were 15-20 minutes away from each other, and you didn't get paid for the travel time. Additionally, gas wasn't reimbursed. Net I was making about $5-6/hour. quit the next day, guy seemed annoyed 2) Cable salesman for DirectTV, but I didn't work for corporate directly. Some guy who ran a 3rd party sales business through them and had a booth inside of Costco. We would stand at the entrance and try to get customers to the booth to sell them cable. Pay was $10+ 20% commission I did nearly a full week of training to start off -- the work was paid to be clear, that part wasn't the scam. However, it wasn't until after that entire week did he show me the employment contract. The catch? You only got the 20% commission once you got over $1000 in sales, and that number was reset weekly. Thus $1200 in sales would only result in commission on the $200 surplus = $40 instead of $240 He didn't even apologize for the lack of clarity, in fact, he doubled down: "If you do a lot of commission sales why's that a problem?"

    @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.

    @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.

    A company hated a tiny newsletter. So it sent the writers live spiders and a bloody pig mask. It just cost them $55.7 MILLION to say sorry. > Ina and David Steiner ran a small trade newsletter called ECommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts, covering eBay and other online marketplaces. > In August 2019, Ina published a story about eBay suing Amazon over poaching sellers. > Thirty minutes later, eBay's CEO Devin Wenig messaged his communications chief: "If you are ever going to take her down now is the time." > The instruction to eBay's security team was even blunter: "Whatever It Takes." > What followed was a coordinated harassment campaign > The Steiners received live spiders, live cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. > Pornographic magazines were sent to their neighbors under David's name, and their house was listed on Craigslist as a nightly destination for "swingers." > That same month, eBay's security director and two employees flew from California to Natick, followed David around town, and tried to plant a GPS tracker on the couple's car. > The Steiners reported the rental van's license plate to local police, which unraveled the entire scheme and brought in the FBI. > Seven eBay employees and executives were criminally charged; all pleaded guilty, with the ringleader sentenced to 57 months in prison. > Wenig resigned in 2019 but walked away with $17 MILLION in compensation that year plus a $40 MILLION severance package. > The Steiners sued in 2021. > This week, nearly seven years after it began, eBay and several former executives agreed to a final $55.7 MILLION settlement, $48.7 MILLION to the couple, $6 MILLION to free-press charities, and a public statement admitting the conduct was "wrong" and "reprehensible." A publisher wrote one story a CEO didn't like. His team sent dead spiders and a pig mask to her house. It took nearly seven years and $55.7 million to fix.

    Almost five years ago, I started searching for a dog. I found a Craigslist post from a family rehoming their late father’s German Shepherds. He’d been a *******. The dogs needed homes. I went there for a specific female. But she was already gone. They introduced me to her sister — Sabrina. Thin, shut down, unsure of everything. Still, I couldn’t walk away. Something in her still reached for connection, even through fear. She came home with me that day. Now, she’s ten years old — but still acts like a pup. Loves the river. Hikes. Long naps in the sun. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. I didn’t just rescue her. She met me where I was and pulled me forward.

    @Rationale_Male No it's not. I used to run with a whole gaggle of knuckleheads from poor and broken homes. 1 is in prison. The cousins he was raised with are both dead. Some are alcoholics and burnouts who are 30 to 40 years old still living with their parents. The ones that are ok are divorced, sometimes 2x over, or living lives of service doing charity work for troubled kids through churches. The few determiners between me and everyone else I grew up with is slightly more money ( I was lower to middle middle class) and the fact I had a two parent home. Where as most of my friends grew up in poverty , raised by single moms , or an aunt in one case. Or by an alcoholic step mom in another case. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone I was friends with. I wouldn't trade the outcomes or lessons learned between me and them either And given the account I'm replying to, a couple in some instances may have attracted more women when they were 15. But not by the time I was in my 20s , and I'm the one who ended up in a stable marriage with a kid that excels. At best they ended up with baby mamas with kids that curse them out in the grocery store. If they got a woman or a kid at all There's nothing glorious or glamorous about struggling as a youth 1 out of 100 learns amazing lessons from it. Most get trampled by the experience and never exceed the adults that raised them Come back and talk when you know girls that went into porn and it just seemed like a no duh bc her mom sold her *** on Craigslist. Or when your buddy who's mom was a ****** and dad was a unknown John , mom died so Grandma took him in. Grandma dies so he becomes a foster kid . Aunt figures she can get social security check so she brings him in but soon as he's old enough to work odd jobs he has to buy his own toilet paper, toothpaste and grew up using water with cereal bc he wasn't allowed to touch the milk used from his aunt, cousins and whatever man she was sleeping with . He ended up in juvie and later as an adult . prison . Or the twins who were raised my mom and daddy number 3 with 4 other siblings who got beat by their sherrif step father Or the dentists child who got divorced and dentist won custody. Remarried. Dentist gets nailed for dealing drugs. Step mom raisj the child and she's passed out on the couch every night from drinking Or or or..I could write. A book of stories. The fights. The theft rings. The drugs at 13 and 14 years old that most people don't even get offered until they're in college , at best. My childhood first girlfriend was raw dawged ********** at a house party 3 houses from where I grew up. About 2 to 3 months after we broke up. I had to turn down ' my turn'. I was barely 14. She was 13. So yeah. Uh. **** kids struggling. A whole lot of other **** comes along with being raised by struggling parents who are trying to do it alone , they're over worked and come home exhausted and stressed to the point they hide in a bottle or zone out in front of TV while their kids run around tearing down the world.

    @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.

    Back in the day, when I was doing mid-tier / database web work, Indeed and the job boards, craigslist where the go-to places to get employed. When I lived in Orlando, I could walk downtown and knock on doors and get a coding job within a week. (usually a day) Somehow, a week became months....and now nothing. No problem... However , something else has changed. "The Corporate Environment" ? I frankly DO NOT WANT TO WORK FOR SUCH ******** EVER AGAIN. I will build my own business, even though I do not like "business" and work for God and His kingdom. This is rant is courtesy of my mailbox in-feed with lots of Indeed and Linked In nothing burgers...and do not get me started on the "Hello, Sar...This is SuryaPravda Oopta, I share this job with you that is nowhere in your resume" Then there was this dream job interview and it went well until the woman wet herself asking me, "So t What do you think about DIVERSITY!!!!!" This is a long way of saying that "Our Economy" is not here anymore. #DNWTWFSAEA

    finding the right one-liner for Shack took only years 🫠 by now we must‘ve changed it 20+ times „C2C Marketplace“ „Anything to Anyone“ „P2P trade network“ „Human protocol for trade“ „Agentic (re)commerce network“ „Silk Road is back“ „C2C fiat and crypto enabled“ „AI consumer trade app“ „C2C running on Memes & AI“ … the hard part was that I knew what we‘re not no eBay, Vinted, Facebook marketplaces, Craigslist, Uber, Amazon etc so we couldn‘t use the usual C for Y „the eBay for Collectibles“ or the „Uber for trade“ I think we‘re finally there and not sure what took me so long: „building a home for regular sellers“ why do I like this so much? a) It‘s tech agnostic. We use whatever we think is best. b) it describes the solution and the problem c) a 5yr old can understand it d) it captures our key priority: regular sellers e) it‘s not tied to a category or vertical, just the desire to sell smth f) it also clearly implies what we‘re not: for professional sellers. We don‘t want to be the next whatnot, amazon or compete against any of them g) it conveys trust and human connection (home) h) it implies continuity and a long term mission (building) the simplest way to think about Shack is a testing ground for smth you own and want to sell. atoms, bits, time compared to setting up a business first or creating a website or find the right vertical website/app you can just take/create a photo and put it up for sale on Shack for the world to explore. maybe your test turns into a business at some point and then you can do all the admin around it and switch to the unlimited professional selling options out there. Shack is aiming to be the easiest point of entry if you‘re not a business and just want to sell or explore selling, with as little friction as possible what will happen if we succeed and users around the world are putting anything they want to sell online? buyers will follow as the supply will be so uniquely differentiated to all the commoditized professional selling options and most importantly prices will undercut any professional as a regular seller has none of the overhead or is selling something that is depreciating or would have been thrown away winning will prevent waste and preserve value the eCommerce industry continues to drive regular sellers into private whatsapp buy/sell groups or offline by prioritizing pros, buyers and vertical solutions (ten apps for regular sellers compared to one) in parallel the creator economy is accelerating and technology is deflating global P2P trade costs. a solution like Shack could capture multiple secular tailwinds and the best part: connect people around the globe decreasing isolation and strengthening community.

    @MidlifeCrysis_ It still can’t be functionally equivalent at all. Consumer initiated transfers transfers work from a business standpoint or a legal stand point. If this were to happen, then Sony would be getting in the middle of sale disputes between random people. Bob down the street could agree to trade games with his neighbor Steven. Then go to initiate the transfer from Sony (or do it themselves if you think that would happen). Then the key gets transferred and what happened? Steven didn’t pay Bob!! Who would they have to go to fix this or dispute it? Sony! This is just one instance. Multiply that by millions. You have to think about the big picture. Companies aren’t going to put themselves out there to be legally liable for crackheads selling video game licenses on Craigslist.

    @_ClimateCraze In Florida, it is possible to find very cheap—and even free—solar panels. When existing systems are removed or upgraded, word spreads quickly and the used panels are snapped up fast. Professional installers and businesses can earn extra money by alerting friends and business associates where the discarded panels are located awaiting disposal. The removed panels are the property of the land owner. It’s cheaper to just let the public take them than to pay to have them hauled away. For example, last year the Orange County Convention Center gave 6,000 panels away. Used commercial panels are often listed on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I have several in my yard that powers my refrigerator, microwave, USB devices and lights. When a tropical storm or hurricane hits I'm ready for when the grid to go down.

    🧵 the forgotten market the standard pushback on any marketplace founder (few are left) going after horizontal C2C: „it‘s too hard. We looked at this space (and lost a lot of money)“  the core mechanic is trivial:  1. build a a place to buy and sell 2. onboard regular sellers 3. onboard regular buyers 4. match them 5. monetize the network asset  It‘s 2026 and every country has a dominant horizontal marketplace that dates back at least 10-30 yrs Founding dates Desktop era Craigslist: 1995 eBay: 1995 Blocket 🇸🇪: 1996 Ricardo 🇨🇭: 1999 Mercado Libre 🇦🇷: 1999 Gumtree 🇬🇧: 2000 Leboncoin 🇫🇷: 2006 … Mobile era Vinted 🇪🇺: 2008 OfferUp : 2011 Depop: 2011 Carousel 🇸🇬: 2012 Wallapop 🇪🇸: 2013 Facebook Marketplaces: 2016 … Void 2026 Combined valuation of all of them ~$250B I‘ve been trying to find NEW startups over the past year that go after this market and asked investors I talked to if they can point at any. The only one I found that was geared at regular sellers horizontally was tradepost raising $4M last year.  Their last iOS update was 6 months ago and hope that just means a stealth v2 or smth is coming, because it feels strangely lonely.  Like the one lunatic from Switzerland with a tiny team of 2 1/2 and the monetary firepower of a spoon trying to win a ~$250B industry.  $250B only includes what‘s visible: 80% are throwing (un)used goods away or let them depreciate. So why are we/startups are not trying to solve this? It‘s not like it‘s a niche problem or the prize of winning is too small. We now have global solutions for almost anything and our horizontal C2C trade infrastructure is running on Pearl or Java (mostly isolated by country). The UI and UX are like asking kids today to play Command and Conquer and Halo (no, they are not as good as you remember, don‘t try playing them and destroy your awesome memory) there are two camps: a) everyone failed, so it doesn’t work b) verticals win and a newer third one c) agents will replace them I‘m not going to address a) for obvious reasons  b) logical vertical fallacy that consumer convenience revolves around having ten apps to sell or buy something (un)used. c) I see some agent probability for (non-discretionary) B2C and B2B, but C2C would require the 80% offline supply to be online in the first place (which agent is taking the picture?). Automation for regular sellers is still the right move (there is also some element of selling hobby though) But C2C buyers are more like treasure hunters. They love exploring, going to the flea market. It‘s a hobby/passion. Finding that vintage lamp from the 60s for a bargain.  My daughter went happily shopping today and it wasn’t about buying smth specific, it was about the journey much more than the destination. (I personally love discovering and hate shopping btw) We‘re not going to send agents playing beach volleyball and proudly tell our friends we automated leisure.  It‘s why so many of us spend so much time on x, when we could also just ask Claude: „give me cool things to read“.  C2C has this social/culture layer that‘s really hard to capture without a timeline/feed and C2C UI tooling (swipes, taps, maps, connections, etc).  It‘s not as transactional as „how many vitamins does chocolate have?“ We addressed „big market“ and „horizontal UI/UX app layer“  I guess the most important question remains:  Why did nobody solve this yet and users are now even going to private chat groups? The people who tried were beyond smart, well funded (we‘re talking billions that were burnt). Some managed to put a (big) dent in e.g. eBay like Vinted for fashion, but we‘re still ridiculously far away from a Spotify like dominance over the global horizontal C2C app layer. Many failed to win the grand prize. Cold-start funding would be the easy answer (there are many people on earth). This is missing a much bigger issue: we forgot how building C2C works.

    @r_zthai lol right? At 20, I’d reverse engineer the damn board in Eagle if it would save a few bucks. Now? Ehhhh. Nah, thanks. Read your post this morning and thought “well ****, why don’t I?” Got me to actually diagnose the problem, and I snapped some pics of the washer + dryer so the missus can throw ‘em up on Craigslist now. Done deal. Buying a new one was arguable if it was just some crap that froze the pump. Burned out motor controller means I’d be waiting around until next week to see if that was even really the root of the problem. Or at the very least I’d have to dump another couple hours into verifying everything that gets plugged into the board is okay. On top of… finding a laundry mat while I waited, I guess?

    3/N But here's the thing: Craigslist ads get you applicants. They don't get you world-class data. That part comes down to how you treat the people collecting it. My management philosophy is simple: treat people like people. More precisely: - pay people well - make them feel like part of the mission - trust them and believe in their potential

    @fckfmrocks Not sure how relevent this is but it made think of something that happened years ago. I saw this guy holding up a sign at a stoplight and almost everyone was rolling down their windows and giving him money. When I finally got close enough to see what was written on the sign he was holding, I figured out why. The sign said: "Why Lie? I Need a Beer". I acutally used this same method as a title on a craigslist post I made once when I was looking for employment one time. It worked and I actually got a job offer by doing it. LOL
