DontHatethe138 (@138reset) reported@FinPhilosopher It’s not just understanding basic Mr. fix it and carpentry. It’s when to understand when the plumber over quotes you. How to find a secret Electrician on craigslist
-
MD G (@yodamg33) reported@LeavingPortland Just get basic trip permits and don't worry about it. Expired trip permits isn't an issue. Or they could buy license plates off of OfferUp or Craigslist. Use them until they expire then throw them away. Or do what Oregonians do and don't use plates or permits at all.

M Mohan (@mukund) reported@namyakhann If design gets me a customer vs not then hey I am all for great design. Most early adopters don’t care. If the problem is hair on fire they will use even Craigslist
-
lala ✨ (@LakeShowLala) reportedWhen I was 19 I moved to California with someone off Craigslist because the @lakers were down 0-3 to Dallas in the western conference finals and I was certain if I touched LA ground they would come back. (They didn’t)
-
Dakota J. Miller (@MillerDakotaJ) reported@Ridire_Creachta I promise you it is. Found a motorcycle on Craigslist and scheduled to go drive down that weekend to get it. Parents wouldn’t let me leave the house and said if I did “in their truck” then they would report it stolen and the only way I could leave was if I paid them what I “owed” them.
-
Noticing Goy (@Noticing_Goy) reported@missenterry1 @poojeetstreet I used to refurbish electronics and build computer systems to sell on Craiglist. Hundreds of sales. I simply didn't sell to them. Chinese as well. They aren't much better. If the voice on the phone was broken English, I hung up and blocked.
-
King Neptune (@neptunemining) reported3/ 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.
-
nofunsir (@nofunsir) reported@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.
-
Less1984More1776 (@TheUSneedsus) reported@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.

Rogelio Rodriguez 🇵🇷🏳️🌈🇵🇸🇮🇷🇨🇺 🖖⚾️ (@rorodriguez73) reportedLast time a newspaper classified ad was of use to me was in 2007, when an ad in a physical copy of the Tacoma Tribune got me a new apartment. After that, Craigslist online was the go to, especially in emergency situations. Too bad they had to shut down the horny part of the site.
-
Szustak Me 🇺🇸 (@SzustakMe) reportedThey need to shut down the source of gathering listing. Probably Snapchat, Instagram or Craigslist
-
Nicholas DeSuza (@nicholasdesuza) reportedboot craigslist for me cupcake, count the number of dead smart tv's due to power supply corner cutting bullshit. those transformers are dying! - overheating - the hardest part of the chip to fix! XD
-
Messer (@hype_joshy11) reported@sarkonakj Righto - so a TERF freak like yourself ******* and whined because she "is afraid of men" but ONLY if they're trans? So she wanted to be away from "men" but only trans ones? If wanting "female-only" housing was the only issue, why was she not looking elsewhere? Craigslist etc..??

Fernando Pinheiro (@fernandoiecp) reportedPortuguese dystopia in one image: the country celebrates a platform that sends ridiculous lowball offers on OLX (Portugal’s main classifieds site, similar to Craigslist) as if that would solve anything, while getting a building permit in Lisbon takes 36 months, there’s a chronic shortage of construction workers, public housing is 2% of the stock (EU average: 15%) and the government just added another 7,5% IMT for foreign buyers that will be passed on to the next Portuguese buyer down the chain. Price is the symptom. The real problem is supply strangled for a decade by red tape, labor shortages and zero public investment, while foreign demand was turbocharged with NHR, Golden Visa and negative Euribor. Liking TikTok videos is easier than demanding by-right permitting, an end to municipal discretion and lower taxes on those who actually build.

Alexis Wood- 🎀 Rust Belt Princess (@IheardalittleT) reported@hostbodyhan I find the best cars on Craigslist, beware anything that’s been on the market for too long. Test drive everything, corner at slow and medium speeds with the windows down to listen etc - Good luck!
-
That Startup (@ThatStartup_) reportedIn 2005, Craigslist turned down $10 billion from Rupert Murdoch. No auction. No bidding war. No counter. Just no. Craig Newmark thought selling would betray the people who used the site.
-
D K (@kln_nurv) reported@skylermzx Hm. Arcade closing down? Craigslist/Gumtree? CIAbook marketplace?
-
Night of the living Possum Simp (@possum_simp) reported@goddammitsarah @turntineforwhat it continued on craigslist till that was shut down
-
ohenry (@OHENRY2264) reportedIt 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
-
Jay (@JJcollecs) reported@ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @coachella Honestly check Craigslist for people trying to panic sell. Have done it for 4+ years and never had an issue.
-
Michael McDoesntexist (@bbsmi7044) reported@evilvillain1231 @Demon_Realms More like but a $1000 car off Craigslist and learn to fix it yourself. Not servicing **** doesn't save you money, just means you'll have to replace your **** more often.
-
Nathan Shobe (@NShobe) reported@alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.
-
Safe and Effective (@AproximatDemise) reported@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.
-
John Stanfield (@JohnStanfi1418) reportedcraigslist is just 1 big fat ******* error #craigslist
-
Juvy 🫦 (@sour_dizel) reported2026 is terrible!!! You can’t even go on Craigslist and find a nice used car for a private sale anymore. 😩😩😩😩
-
SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES (@WorkerUnit1) reported@HostageDiY @MrLeadslinger "Back in my day I walked 8 miles to school each way through broken glass and totally didnt live in an 🇺🇸 where even a **** could earn enough $$ to buy a home & 2 cars off manual labor jobs" What a fuking 🤡 If you have kids they hate you for making them sell rugs on Craigslist
-
Name cannot be blank (@YouKnowItsMattX) reported@ilikegoodmedia @encrypted_past @GOP__Ls And the obvious difference is Craigslist and FB don't ALLOW drug dealers to openly operate. If you posted "crack for $25" on Marketplace it would be taken down and you'd get banned. They police their platforms to some degree to avoid lawsuits.
-
Carpital Punishment (@GrandpaFishes) reported@_Ashaman @contractorkeith - Shouldn't have a car payment - Craigslist/Marketplace for furniture (bare minimum, dont need ottomans and end tables and all that BS) - If you're not working in the field that you studied in college, the student loans are your fault and you're an idiot
-
EdwardMaga (@edwardmaga01) reported@IRanMediaco “I found a guy on Craigslist who built my deck for a fraction of those other guys!” “But they didn’t get permits and the job has to be torn down and completely redone and you’re getting fined” “Damn…what a hormuz chalupa!”
