@SaveZcash Thanks, very appreciated, but credit goes to Jim Buckmaster, the craigslist CEO since 2000. (I'm a terrible manager but a great customer service rep, so I stepped into the full-time CSR job)

I made my first million on a $95, 14-inch Dell laptop with three missing keys—bought off Craigslist. It was so slow, I’d launch Photoshop, grab a coffee, and it’d still be loading by the time I got back. Trust me, you've got everything you need to do it. Just let go of the bullhsit story holding you back. - Alen

@DeDunkingPast So they have a problem with you being an electrician, and yet EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM would hire bubba off Craigslist to save money! But the second you do something they disagree with, NOW your all of a sudden the anti christ for not having a stamp on a piece of paper!

@WishIwasSpock I missed out on a complete set of all years for sale on Craigslist because I was working too much to drive 3 hours. It was in library boxes and was near pristine. Something like 140+ issues, for $200. I asked him to mail it to me and he never responded. My grandma subbed for yrs

@storvensen @SCHIZO_FREQ That's the Buy Here Pay Here model, they're even scummier than normal car dealerships. No reason to go BHPH unless your credit is terrible and you can't get a beater from Craigslist/FB.

After getting upsold by fhvkers on canal for a luggage to move with I go on Craigslist and find one for my $20 range. I pick it up in less than an hour from emailing. On 171 Chrystie St. rich as heck building some bald old lady comes to hand it off. I go to Whole Foods. 17 minutes later I pass back the building again the old woman is still down there visible through the window still talking to the doorman. Sweet interaction brought from foul greedy Canal vendors.

One time a guy I worked with said to me that people want demonstration when it comes to everything. Like that guy that kept uptrading the paperclip 📎 on Craigslist and eventually he had a house because everyone in this world wants to see the fruits of continued effort. Benevolence is exhausted bc not enough people see it or know how to make it keep going in the right places. The problem is how we go about looking for someone to believe in in this world.

Startup myth that's costing you months: 'You need a technical co-founder to build anything" The reality: - stripe was built by 2 non-technical founders - PlentyOfFish was built by 1 guy using basic tools - Craigslist looks like it was built in 1995 and makes millions Your MVP doesn't need: ❌ Perfect code architecture ❌ Scalable infrastructure ❌ Technical co-founder ❌ Computer science degree Your MVP needs: ✅ To solve one problem well ✅ Real users willing to pay ✅ Fast iteration based on feedback ✅ Someone who ships, not someone who plans Stop using "I need a technical co-founder" as an excuse not to start.

You don't need to "renovate" anything. I don't know why people are obsessed with renovation in the US. At most it needs a few $100 used appliances from Craigslist. I don't see anything obviously broken, just *****, and it's a rent controlled apartment, there is infinite demand for it even if it sucks. You need some Craigslist guys, a gas mask and some gloves and elbow grease. At least there is no mould everywhere. Dawn powerwash and a paintbrush will take care of the mess, chuck it in the U-Haul and to the dump it goes. Give the walls a wash with some all purpose cleaner, some TSP and a rag. Rent an ozone generator or buy a bag of chlorine dioxide tablets on Amazon, and spritz it with some bougie perfume. It's not like they pay general labour $200/hour. If they do, I need to get me some of that.

@ajwmwrb @GlobeEyeNews If the chickens are alive, rehome them through local farms, animal shelters, or online marketplaces like Craigslist. If they're meat, donate to food banks, sell at markets, or compost ethically. Check local laws to avoid issues—after all, chats can be court evidence!

@Uncommonsince76 Just be cause there is no videos, does not mean it does not happen. I can remember 2 white men murdering two black me, dismembering them and dumping their bodies. All over some craigslist sale of electronics. Crime is a individual thing, not a race issue.

@SCHIZO_FREQ Id be careful with the marketplace and craigslist. People are just trying to get rid of the trash and do absolutely no maintenance before selling. Burned through 3 cars in 7 years by no fault of my own. Last car was 20 years old from a dealer. Absolutely no issues last 2 years

@not__vee I remember when they shut down the Craigslist dark channels to combat human trafficking. Police hated it bc that made it harder to investigate crimes. Independents hated it bc it made screening clients riskier. It hurt far more than it helped.

Investors scoffed. “People don’t even trust each other on Craigslist — why would this work?” But Chesky understood: this wasn’t a technology problem. It was a TRUST PROBLEM.

@albert9x19 Craigslist. It was $450 per mo and the other tenant there was a Ukrainian dude. They had trouble finding a second tenant because they hated blacks and were so pleased when I responded

Option 1: Easy, Fast, Expensive Rent Office Space This is easy. Open Craigslist & FB Marketplace. Look for spaces for rent in the area you decided on. Find the cheapest place that has a month-to-month lease. Or prepare to reach out to all the 12-month leases and negotiate month-to-month. You do not need office space for anything other than verification. However, if it is cheap enough — you may as well keep it. Once you sign a lease, set up an office that looks like: 1. You operate out of it 2. Customers visit you Add that address onto your website. Submit your business to Google Maps and record a video verification. If done correctly, you should be live in less than 24 hours. Keep the office for a few months — then cancel the lease. Option 2: Slow, Medium Difficulty, Cheap. Borrow an Office Space Reach out to all the listings you find in your target market and ask them if you could “borrow” their office space for 20 minutes one time to record a video verification. Be honest. Explain what you are doing. Offer to pay half a month’s rent (split into two parts: 1 before the verification and 1 once approved). For most small office landlords this is a free $500 for 15 minutes of work. Once one agrees, show up with some signs. Put them on the wall and record your verification video. For us — we drive so much organic business that it makes sense for me to operate 6 empty offices in Los Angeles (for each line of business) But we successfully tried both of the two options above.

@WarMonitors FWIW: vintage typewriters are super easy to find and usually super cheap at garage sales, ebay, marketplace, Craigslist etc. Oh, and you can quickly restore old ribbons by just rubbing them down with ink.

6. I sold stuff. I got rid of a lot of stuff. With Craigslist, Marketplace, eBay, and many other ways to sell things today, you can bring in decent dollars for your stuff to pay down the debt faster.
