  • jbaker1963 John Baker (@jbaker1963) reported

    @JamesHu27192912 I've got enough to last the winter and a few big trees to take down and split for the next year or so. I run Craigslist ads looking for people with dead trees that they want taken down in out of the way places.

    @KBobTech @kbrewFL Yes, you can buy used water softeners on sites like eBay or Craigslist for $100–$500, often cheaper than new ($800+). Check resin condition and test it first, as worn parts may need replacement. DIY install is feasible if you're handy with plumbing—takes 2–4 hours, needs basic tools, and costs $0 in labor. Follow guides from Home Depot or YouTube. However, pros recommend professional install ($300–$1,000) to avoid leaks or code issues in FL. Get local quotes.

    @mcafeenew craiglist needs to be shut down too, if u can recruit criminals through their service

  • nomenpluralis You, Bagheera? (@nomenpluralis) reported

    @itsNTBmedia I remember my good old craiglist gps would occasionally show me driving through a random field or lake. I guess it was an update problem, but it was sometimes hilarious and usually super frustrating

  • ChrisHMetzger Chris Metzger (@ChrisHMetzger) reported

    @TFMonkey2 I think UK craigslist has this problem too

  • Cayotic_Prophet Cayotic_Prophet (@Cayotic_Prophet) reported

    @DefiantLs Almost all of the dozen #OneWheels I've bought, were all from Seattle area. The only time I go there is to spend less by purchasing used on Craigslist. Got a toll ticket in the mail because Google Maps sent me down the new toll tunnel. Otherwise, avoid Seattle like the plague!

  • Ill_talk_slow4u You can't handle the truth (@Ill_talk_slow4u) reported

    @Mericamemed Wait until those spaces are all filled because a guy down the street is flipping cars on craigslist. then you might see the utility of limiting time in some places.

  • WhoIsJeffDerbes KickinIdeas (@WhoIsJeffDerbes) reported

    @catturd2 Ur husbands business is in the toilet he will be taking jobs off craiglist soon .... my honest thoughts and prayers that was time for an apology and doubling down is going to make your haters do the same

  • RDUBBS518 PATRIOT ☠️ (@RDUBBS518) reported

    @jkeeter82 @JDVance The reason mainstream media isn't talking about it is bcuz they're in on it. The Elite Globalists own everything & all the big media outlets. They've put adds on Craigslist asking for the worst of the worst thats not scared of getting in trouble & they pay these ppl lots of $

  • graciemcscal gracie (@graciemcscal) reported

    @sadsticfuck @pculmesc i took down the craigslist listing!!!!

  • Egavaselpmis Kevin Hunt (@Egavaselpmis) reported

    @yoxics When will Ice get the credit he deserves fir changing the streaming game forever. Guy was literally doing these ideas over 5 yrs ago. Standford jail experiment, running fake ads on craigslist they following the blueprint except now its talent agency washed down.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @sleepsixactual @mcafeenew @RepJeffries The claim linking Hakeem Jeffries to the Craigslist ad originated from satirical sources, like a Facebook page that produces fictional content. Publications may report unverified info due to errors or bias, but no evidence suggests intent to provoke a defamation suit for discovery. Debunked by fact-checkers including PolitiFact and Lead Stories, confirming it was a prank unrelated to Jeffries or protests.

  • SyntellSmith Syntell Smith - REDEYE out NOW! (@SyntellSmith) reported

    Take care TELL people all the issues these animals may have, which is why I rather find a pet on Craigslist or Nextdoor... I don't know what we're gonna do now...

  • IyiAzu Ikemba (@IyiAzu) reported

    @kmbiamnozie @im_tolumichael Ah @kmbiamnozie replied my post since and I'm just seeing it now😦. I tried using my phone and craigslist ghosted my ads for 5days, but with a PC, I would've been able to set up a dedicated server address properly to enable me navigate preferred city locations. I need a laptop🙏

  • SocialN0 _N0social (@SocialN0) reported

    But instead you know they, or rather we didn't have the paperwork for me living in that house. And I swear up and down and left and right I filled out paperwork for that house. I'm pretty sure it was a Craigslist ad and I'm not sure if I paid just up fronts or if I put a deposit.

  • mobilehomeelite mobilehomeeliteinvestors (@mobilehomeelite) reported

    The flips are simple: ✅ Clean up the property (paint, pressure wash, fix steps/skirting, etc) ✅ Market to cash buyers on FB, Craigslist, and park managers ✅ Close in DAYS, not months I’ve doubled my money before most flippers even got a contractor quote.

  • nico_andretti_ millennial_bot (@nico_andretti_) reported

    @JSAscension These types of roommate posts are all over Craigslist in every town. Nothing new. Just a news headline to avoid talking about real issues.

  • gina_canali Gina Canali (@gina_canali) reported

    Craigslist has more SCAMS than real apts for rent?? Im in deperate need for housing and CL wastes my time and effort by allowing these scammers to advertise apts that aren't REAL. CL is despicable and should be shut down by the federal govt. Screen your ads for CROOKS!!!

  • JR_Duren J.R. Duren (@JR_Duren) reported

    @DivineManhood Ummm, flipping free Craiglist stuff? So he started his journey by profiting off free items that someone who is struggling could've really used? Bad form. Just terrible form.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @someothertimes @MomsPostingLs Yes, investigations like CBC's in March 2025 found over a dozen such ads easily on sites like Craigslist, indicating they're becoming more common due to housing shortages, especially in Ontario. No major updates since, but they persist as a noted issue.

  • goghingghost lavender menace (@goghingghost) reported

    @iloveweirdal normally I'd agree buying off fb marketplace or Craigslist is better but the used car market is kinda ****** now so unless you got plenty of time to shop around/ haggle you might get stuck with a lemon which gets more expensive if you can't fix it yourself

  • OpossumsVa OpossumsRAwesome (@OpossumsVa) reported

    @WallStreetMav I sound like a broken record here, but i wonder if its sorospaid sht - craigslist ad nonsense for sorosandco to destroy the youth, our culture our civilization in just another way. Askholes the globalists are.

  • Judi131508 Judi Yoshino (@Judi131508) reported

    @newstart_2024 These junkie's don't care what they put into their bodies , Soros **** heads were plenty obvious to me in 2020. Twenty dollars a hour paid protestors found off of Craigslist ads., Minnesota Freedom Funds director a individual in recovery from **** abuse herself. Notice they got problems in Portland Oregon as well , they both the same type of people.

  • kingofsteals R Call (@kingofsteals) reported

    @_emilyrarick Sell on Craigslist, default on loan. Problem solved

  • franclwjm stephen franck (@franclwjm) reported

    @TheTimiO16 @favoritetechgal Yeah, true. I had the same issue once I started using a solid VPN, Craigslist opened fine and I could check the local listings.

  • Dustycrab457 Dustycrab (@Dustycrab457) reported

    @BuzzPatterson Sure with buses waiting down the road, Craigslist ads, and pre-printed signs…..that takes weeks of planning

  • pipermrclean Rome|| zoey's pet turtle (@pipermrclean) reported

    @rosekrowfeather REALL. Also ppl saw that scene with doctor Han and ran with it and like. Excuse her for not wanting to share her life story with some random man zoey found on Craigslist??? She'd be the type to not go to sleep before an issue is resolved with the girls tho she is NOT risking it.

  • chuddungus Himbo (@chuddungus) reported

    @dalepartridge They're in every big city in America. They crowdfund tours, run communes, print Zines. They'll buy a cheap van on Craigslist, run it down on a Nationwide tour, and then crowdfund repairs or a new van all together, same day. They hop trains, recruit the homeless, fudraise, etc.

  • bigbaalz Michael (@bigbaalz) reported

    @pipkinpippa Find mechanic friend >>> Craigslist or marketplace Buy something that's been crashed where problems are obvious, bumper, fender, headlight, radiator. Fix it and cherish it until some **** hits you from behind.
