  @SacAppraiser I don’t understand. So via Airbnb no problem; via Craigslist scam. But why did it matter if the sign was outside? Because scammed guests would arrive and realize they’d not be getting in?

  @NickPocheVOTE Reminds me of the H St Streetcar. My first landlord in DC pitched the streetcar in the Craigslist ad (!!!) in 2009. I moved to Boston for a year in 2011 & back in 2013 and it still didn’t open for another three years. And then shut down for good 10 years after that…

  Next-door is the equivalent to Craigslist with free kittens. My email keeps blowing up with people posting kittens and it's stressing me out. Y'all are the problem.

  @BrandyLJensen I got shut out of marketplace weeks ago due to some age verification glitch that I've submitted a problem report for like half a dozen times and am told it will take 48 hours to resolve. 3 weeks later.... And my only option is still craigslist.

  my problem is I think you should still do bad things that ruin your progress or just give you unnecessary pain because im a very plot-driven person. like I think you should wake up at 5am every morning for a month just to see what it feels like to be a person that wakes up at 5am every morning, I think you should restrict meat intake to once a week not for any moral or religious reasons but just to imagine what it would be like to live like that, I think you should meetup at some random hotel with that fifty year old "artist" from craigslist who's looking for a life model to sketch.

  Every free-stuff feed — Buy Nothing, Facebook, Craigslist — has the same decay problem: listings rot, pickups fall through, nothing gets logged. Stoopling is the 24/7 agent that closes the whole loop. Verify, match, schedule, report. The stoop just went autonomous. Live soon.

  FOXX in Miami Beach! (@msjennifoxx) reported 22 minutes ago

  @NikkiKnoxxo @MsAnastasiaRose @WeAreTryst SESTAFOSTA is what happened with Eros and ******** and Craigslist personals. Once Eros evacuated from their US office the support became abysmal. And then they got rid of the categories like ****. Tryst blew up rapidly when Eros ditched the categories & they just couldn’t handle the volume especially with all of the online only profiles and bots inundating the site. I was extremely fortunate that the one issue I had with tryst I was able to resolve quickly but it had me terrified when my profile went offline there because I have been deplatformed by so many places it was the only site I had left. I’ve heard if you reach out on here you get quicker support but can’t confirm that personally

  @ervin_pa I guarantee you’ve never been to another country to witness atrocities. I had an 18 year-old Haitian kid escape at the end of the hurricanes 12 years ago. Taught himself English. Worked his *** off. Made him the manager of my franchise coffee shop. Started buying broke down cars on craigslist and his spare time and flipping them after fixing them. Started his own used car dealership selling 60 cars a month in Naples, Florida. Now works for Hendrick motorsports. Ask that kid if he cares about 200 years ago or feels oppressed here in America No one is more ungrateful or busy reliving past sins then present day black grifters Imagine if Jesus had everyone never forget their country’s past and blame endlessly for something they themselves never experienced. Grow up lady

  @KicksKrave @xBitcoin_Teej Then you just lost the right to whine. This is the real difference between your generation and mine: I was willing to buy a car off of Craigslist or even accept a hand me down from family members because I needed to get from point A to point B only.

  Independent used-car dealers lose buyers to whoever replies first. Built Carbloom to fix that. The AI agent answers every lead, books test drives, and reprices stale listings across Marketplace, Craigslist and CarGurus — 24/7, without an enterprise contract. Live soon.

  When I saw this log cabin for sale on Craigslist 5 years ago I thought it was a scam. I talked to the 80-year old owner on the phone & still thought it couldn’t be real. It was impressive how elaborate this hoax was. Pulling down the long driveway, I still didn’t know if it would be real then there it was. Perfectly placed on the hill like something out of a fairytale. Everyone else interested in buying the property were going to tear it down. It couldn’t be saved they said. It took me the better part of 2 years but I saved it and in turned it saved me. It made me a believer again.

  @sheuf34832 @TheRealKitty019 And a not insignificant portion of the "clunkers" weren't on the road anyway. They were the $700 craigslist ads with a "needs a brake job and a fuel pump, bring a trailer" titles, that young people got to fix, or dad bought and fixed to give to their 16 year old.

  @FlourishingThru I buy most all my furniture looking on Craigslist or driving past little mom & pop thrift or antique stores. I got lucky like 15 years ago & found MCM dresser set on Craigslist that had a price error & they honored it. If I tried to buy this set now it’s prob worth 4K.

  @VirgisViews @SHET0SHI @Alexintosh Craigslist was covered by legal liability protections, which meant that their activities were not illegal. That changed in 2018, when congress passed FOSTA. They subsequently shut down their personals section. So, you’re right. It’s not the same. They weren’t breaking the law.

  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?"

  @CodySR96 @realKellyKnight @Carvana Or, just buy off craiglist or marketplace. You’ll spend less and get a more reliable car. The used cars dealerships get are the ones that had problems and the dealer offered the previous owner credit on a trade. They then put lipstick on a pig, “certify” it, and then re-sell it.

  Sunday Confession: During my early film school days, our professors encouraged that we take any side gigs, which I decided to try. Went through craigslist and found someone looking for a temp sound guy. Hit them up and got the job, address, and call time. Didn't ask what the project was.. didn't care. It was my first film gig and I was excited. Dress code was t-shirt and shorts since we were shooting in a small room with no AC (AC off for sound purposes). Checked out a boom mic set and recorder from my school and got to the set.... Porn shoot.... Welp.. I'm here now. Hours of hearing plaps and groans imported directly into my ears in 4K via headset caused a... *cough* personal issue which the director noticed. After the shoot, he paid the actress extra to "calm the rookie down". Got paid $200 and my first BJ that day.

  @Neutral_OC This is what home warranty gets you. Home warranties are a ******* scam. They send out the bottom of the barrel technicians from random companies. They send out a guy from Craigslist and after he doesn't fix your problem and charges you money you will never see him again.

  @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.
