    @vicwingly my college roommate got hit by a truck when he was in high school, and he used the money to buy a ****** $300 boat that didn’t work off Craigslist that he swore he was gonna fix up and then we’d go out drinkin on the lake (he also paid for college but that’s less important)

  • sydneyhhayes syd (@sydneyhhayes) reported

    I've tried to post a missed connection twice now and Craigslist keeps taking it down which almost makes it all so much more romantic

  • scott_towel Scott-Towel (@scott_towel) reported

    We took MeMaw down to The Cracker Barrel back in 2012 and we was a'planning to go back agin soon until all of this rebrand falderal. Now that our side won, I suppose we'll be taking MeMaw back there agin directly, as soon as I sell this lawnmower I "found" on the Craigslist.

    @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!

    @TheOnlyDSC Every time I would do craigslist deals, and let them come to my house, my brother would do the transaction and I would be waiting behind a closed bedroom door near by with a butcher knife in case something went down. Welcome to America.

    @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 $

    @ProofOfEly Depends on where you are currently on the learning curve but I'd say if you've never played before start here: Clubs: you don’t need a $10k bag. Get a cheap starter set (or snag a used set off Craigslist/FB/2ndswing.com) Range first: Learn to make contact, then work up to consistency. Short game: 70% of golf is wedges + putting Lessons: 1 or 2 lessons with a pro will fix bad habits before they begin. Do this sooner than later

    @Reboticant @liturgyabbie FB marketplace is a terrible Craigslist dupe but it’s what we get :/

  • randomjibberesh FormerMember (@randomjibberesh) reported

    @Martyupnorth_2 Craigslist used to be the ****.....now it is ****. Normal people use the internet now......that's the problem.

  • TonyPeric Tony Peric (@TonyPeric) reported

    @investandcreate @SkiTownRE Nice guy. Not perfect. Has issues. Comes up with RE idea for flipping. Convinces GF parents to invest. Dad drops 200k It all goes bad with craigslist GCs. Definitely a good plot!

  • SuzieDunn12 Susan May D (@SuzieDunn12) reported

    I just flagged a craigslist ad under community that said Manhattan events special dinner secret place on 9 11 ! That’s terrible ! Celebrating 9 11 the tower is being hit ! Looks like Polaroid picture of African people

  • AlanSeslowsky Alan Seslowsky (@AlanSeslowsky) reported

    @lukesawhook Reminds me of Craigslist, a popular website from the late 1990s/early 2Ks. Not a modern experience at all. If they "fix" it I'd give it a try (again)

  • Kenneth59435187 Kenneth (@Kenneth59435187) reported

    @ondoublelist Craigslist was shut down because of people asking for money to meet, and Doublelist is doing the same thing, just time will tell before it the same thing!!! A place for ******, not for casual friends

  • GlockOhbama Gangbros Gaming (@GlockOhbama) reported

    @Josephawsome126 @yoxics He getting a broken one from Craigslist 😭

  • Hitmarkarz Brandon Walker (@Hitmarkarz) reported

    @TheOnlyDSC I was selling a ps4 on Craigslist when they were new. Had someone offer to pay me over my price, which made it cost same as a new one, if I met him on a sketchy street “down from his house” at 11pm. Dude thought I was born yesterday.

  • andynyquil Andy Mcloughlin (@andynyquil) reported

    @Cedarflame @bladerunner_64 @OurShallowState I completely get it mate, I moved here blind, did a place on Craigslist and all that as I was told I had 2 weeks to get down here and take over, landlord of the place I rented was a typical Alabama stereotype and this was the first guy I met in person and wasn’t a good -

  • donofemail The Don of Email (@donofemail) reported

    Every college town has abandoned student rental houses. Property managers get ghosted by graduates moving out, leaving piles of furniture, appliances, and random electronics. Craigslist is too slow, and hauling costs eat into profits, so most landlords dump it all on curbs for free pickup. The play: Scrape Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, and local university forums for recurring "free curb alert"dump spots at the end of each semester. Cross-reference each address with open rental listings to identify turnover-heavy landlords. Automate contact emails offering a “clearout-to-cash” service. You charge: - $200 per house for junk removal - 30% of all items resold (resell via Facebook Marketplace or local flea channels) Expansion path: After a dozen landlords, hire local gig workers for scalable pickups. Once your ops are dialed in, upsell property cleaning packages to eliminate their post-move costs entirely. By semester 2, you’ve got streamlined logistics and a repetitive income cycle tied to every school year’s graduations.

    @_baldtires electric based presses for clothing can be purchased rather inexpensively, for further testing. Check your local craigslist or the like. may not have the shape required, though (too rectangular, not enough length down the one side, to cover the entire blank), so the t-shirt-ish oriented heat press might be the best bet. to go from heat gun experimentation, right to the heat press. Hope this helps (It's just an idea of mine, spit out on the fly, kinda thing)

  • PLClubOfficial PL Club (@PLClubOfficial) reported

    Me: Remember when ******** was our golden ticket? Her: Yeah, until they took it down. Now it’s a Netflix binge instead of a night out. Me: And here I am, still using Craigslist like it’s 2010. Her: At least the bots don’t ghost you… Did he really say that?

  • BattleByrd ฿₳₮₮ⱠɆ ฿ɎⱤĐ (@BattleByrd) reported

    What is a financial regret that you have? Mine is when I was offered a new hot tub and 3 steers once for an old truck I had for sale on Craigslist and I foolishly turned it down...

  • BGatesTweeeets B. Gates (@BGatesTweeeets) reported

    My issue with looking at apartments on Craigslist is I automatically assume anything that looks even semi decent is probably a scam

  • Storm_Tools_ai Storm AI (@Storm_Tools_ai) reported

    @eBay Drop a full MCP server so Claude can sell my vinyls! Tired of @Craigslist’s sketchy vibes. Claude’s got my back! 🎵🔥 #MCP

    If you ever feel down and wanna have a laugh go look at the job postings at Craigslist... Man...

  • TiffanySimon312 Tiffany (@TiffanySimon312) reported

    @dcat_DonnaR1 I’m not a Bookface fan either. Always bring protection if meeting anyone from marketplace or Craigslist, would be my advice. This is terrible to see. Hope they lock this duo up.

  • Cessieca Francesca (@Cessieca) reported

    I put some free kids furniture on Nextdoor and they took my post down for spam lol but on Craigslist I got rid of everything in one day lol

  • MeatAxe4517 Meat Axe (@MeatAxe4517) reported

    @Alphafox78 I don't see the problem. But just to be safe, you should sell those on Craigslist. "Like new, no low-balling, I know what I've got"

  • CAtruthseeker Q assist (@CAtruthseeker) reported

    @howardlutnick Stop it then! Or at least increase controls. There is a website that captures Craigslist or newspaper ads for jobs not offered to Americans on big company websites. If no American applies they can force wages down through H1B. Block this loophole!

  • EggerDC Andrew Egger (@EggerDC) reported

    Why spend your free time hunting down your ancestors when you could spend that time trying and failing to find a good cheap used piano on Craigslist, is what I'm saying.

  • djgiglio Dave Giglio (@djgiglio) reported

    @sarahbeth345 1. It’s granny’s old ring, very sentimental. 2. Bargain hunt. Go on Craigslist and find a sad story about a broken engagement or divorce and have a 3rd party buy it so they don’t rob you. The original owner is never getting full retail.

  • Terrebitz Landollar.algo (@Terrebitz) reported

    @danielgothits Try craigslist and FB market place to get a cheap inversion table. Start out slow, don't over-do it at first. Never to full inversion ( 180 degrees) for more than a minute, it's certainly possible to throw your back out if you're not careful.
