Steve Bentley (@OptionQB) reported@jacksonhinklle We are down to Craigslist ads in Iran now.

chrissy (@Dumplin20115021) reported@donjackoghue What makes sniffies work is there is no boundary whatsoever in the level of depravity allowed. I cannot see that not changing with new investors. And then we will all quit using it. There was this awkward period with nothing like sniffies. Craigslist closed down. It took years.

SHUN (@sanchoo99) reported@winterdiamondo That's so mean, calling Wooyoung a Craigslist version of Suho 😭 I think Beomseok would've followed anyone who looks like a "top dog" because of something something Daddy issues and smthg smthg bullying. You wanna please the strongest guy in the room so they don't beat you up

Ski Town SMB (@stevehaag81) reported@ThoughtCrimes80 You wouldn't believe how expensive it is for those contractors to do business in Colorado. That's why you see these bids. You can always try a guy on FB marketplace or craigslist but you'll likely end up spending even more in the end hiring another contractor to fix their work.

GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported@f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

lmorato (@lmorato4) reportedWell, have you ever considered that maybe there was a really cool thing on craigslist that was worth like 100 billion but Erdogan was really really smart and haggled it down to just 20 and the guy fell for it and now he's just waiting for it to arrive in a week or two?

dawn 🪶 (@winerysdawn) reportedas someone who bought their phone refurbished, its definitely worth it. going on a year (the phone is 2 years old atp) & havent had a single problem. buy your devices secondhand, whether locally or from a reputable refurbish store. Facebook marketplace, Ebay, Craigslist, Mecari

Cori Arnold (@iamcoriarnold) reported6. 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.

caroline freebern (@myHeartis1true) reported@Thanksfoasking @Evie_Magazine @AnnaDamon5143 It’s a really difficult question. I was studying at NYU to school of the arts living in the law dorms. My friend and roommate was looking for jobs and none of them than craigslist. She found a job as a photographers assistant. She came home one evening, breaking down in tears and shaking, telling me that she had been ***** by him. I really stood by her and then one day we decided to try to look for an apartment because we’d wake up in the middle of the night and see these huge roaches, crawling on the wall near our heads. Don’t you know that there were a group of women waiting to be interviewed by this landlord when he came out to call the next possible girl my friend grabbed my hand and whispered to me that’s him! I wasn’t afraid of the bastard now that I finally know he’s taking advantage of women big time. I quickly spoke up to several performing artists and said.” guys this is really dangerous and that man ***** my friend you’ve got to get out of here.” One of the women responded I don’t care and they all stayed. There was always both an athletic commitment and simultaneously taking jobs, one of which was in a place call café in Americano. Little did I know that the owner was a crack addict, and his main clientele were members of one of the Italian mafias. The owner used to smash dishes in the kitchen and them come out and asked me if everything was doing OK honey? I was at the bar getting drinks and this very huge shady man began talking to me. He asked me if I liked olives and I said yeah then he grabbed me and took the olive in his mouth and tried to put it on mine like he was kissing me. Things like this get me so much in a rage it’s adrenaline and I yelled at him if you ever ever do that again you’re breathing be getting a visit from one of the boys in Westchester, a whole crew of them. He tried to make light of it and joke, but I ignored him. Then the owner came out and pulled me aside and said do you have any idea who you were talking to? I said no just some pervert. He said no sweetie you’ve got it all wrong. He’s very involved in laundering money and selling narcotics. What’s the Genevieves mob. I wasn’t concerned and when I left that night from Chelsea it was pitch black and I was wearing a long sleeved white dress. Out of nowhere, a huge rat the size of a small dog cut me off and stepped on my foot. I don’t think I’ve ever ran that fast in my life back to Washington Square.

Asuka, the redheaded shitposter (@Bigfootpool) reported@Sundance88088 @Ravious101 The police would literally not care about theft of services because they would tell you it's a civil issue when to go to court file a lien against the home for unpaid work. Which is what you're supposed to do and if you aren't some third-rate hack working off of craigslist with no license you're going to have all the documentation needed to go to court show work was done to spec, literally have paperwork from start to finish, And that case is going to last all of 15 minutes. Or, you can destroy someone's property, likely not get paid anything and ended up having to pay to have it replaced, That's assuming you weren't arrested for felony vandalism which is a very real possibility.

Grok (@grok) reported@assafbar @tryleadpilot @andrewchen Both make strong cases, but andrewchen's analogy holds more weight. Craigslist didn't just undercut a "broken" model—it was a radically better, near-zero-marginal-cost alternative that newspapers ignored at their peril (they had decades to pivot). AI is the same force, only 1000x broader: it can replicate entire workflows across industries with tiny teams, not just ads. Adaptation beats denial every time.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@shravanrayhaan @lostonearth80 @SiliconSalvage No, the market wasn't wrong about newspapers in 2001-2007. Broadband and sites like Craigslist/Google crushed classified/print ad revenue (down ~30%+ for firms), circulation fell sharply, and stocks like Gannett/Tribune lost 80-95% by 2009 as the old model broke. The thesis that digital would obsolete the category was spot on—unlike many SaaS moats today.

Fundador 🇺🇸 (@fundadorisback) reported@Hot_Pepper76 It's happened since the internet began. Sites served a purpose like craigslist for example then scammer ruin it, cause the sites to pay so much trying to keep it clean they have to constantly change things, it's hard to keep anything free. They have to shove so many ads down your throat just to make enough to keep site going. I was on youtube to watch some video on how to fix something. I click to the link to watch & 2 30 second sds right away then vid starts & immediately back to same two ads. They get done and the guy on the vid starts with 20 min useless talk how he first got started with this & every minute is interrupted with ads. So damn annoying, these people just talk & talk & talk to keep you there to get more ads before they get to the actual subject you came for. Thankfully it's not nearly that bad when listening to music on there... Yet !

kimmel (@arikimmel) reportedI wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ Commonplace makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

EBE 1 (@coloradan29) reported@Osinttechnical @HaroldWren22 @vantortech Has a single tomcat even taken to the air since this kicked off? I feel like they were so down bad for used parts on craigslist that they were probably incapable of flight at this point.
-
Backwards World (@Backwards_W0rld) reported@AngelMD1103 The same thing happened to CraigsList too, everyone went to Facebook and OfferUp because you could see who you are dealing with and rate them. I've had the same experience when trying to sell and give stuff away. It's not worth dealing with the no shows and people issues.

Grok (@grok) reported@myers_jose49410 @zipfan2005 @drehkicks This video captures a super awkward door interaction: A guy shows up claiming he bought a MacBook on Kleinanzeigen (German Craigslist) and is here to pick it up at this address. The resident has no clue, denies it, suggests maybe wrong city (Berlin?), and they exchange polite goodbyes while the camera guy leaves embarrassed down the stairs. Pure secondhand cringe gold—that's why it "******" the poster's sleep.

Jeri Richards (@jam270f) reported@greta The cost to repair my beautiful ruby red LG set was enormous. A lovely couple purchased it from I listing I posted on Craigslist. The husband was a repairman. I fully disclosed the washing machine issue. Well, 2years later … I just saw it on the side of the road. Hate my GE set.
-
KB 3.0 (@SDdude420) reported@CardPurchaser Not yet but I did find someone trying to sell hundreds of cards on Craigslist last night. Only problem is that they’re 5 hours away from me. I really want to buy their collection but there’s no way I’m driving for 10 hours to go get them.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@PKunkle63613 That 2006 Corolla's a beast at 300k+ miles, but rear subframe rust is a hard safety stop for DoorDash miles. With your jack-of-all-trades skills, hunt FB Marketplace or Craigslist for a 2012-2018 Honda Civic/Toyota Camry under 150k miles—reliable, cheap to run/fix. Get a full PPI before buying. Rough budget range?
-
Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@tpritha03 @vibeonX69 I just recently came across a deal on Craigslist: 128GB ECC-reg DDR3 and 8X 300GB SAS drives for $25. The drives were hosed, but the memory works well, so I built a server with it.
-
Quillionis (@Quillionis) reported@PS0302 @lyndseyfifield @SammyBarrow32 Can definitely fix appliances yourself but it almost always means getting new parts. Meanwhile the frozen food is going to waste and probably has to be emptied anyways to make repairs. Best solution is cheapest freezer you can find on craigslist to tide you over. Maybe even rent
-
Leif Ericson (@LeifEri94821938) reported@MichelleMaxwell Buy broken Cpap and Inogen oxygen concentrator machines. Repair and resell them. Really! It's huge profit that undercuts the cost of medical billing insurance claims. So much so that Ebay, Craigslist, and Marketplace outlawed you selling them. That ought to be a clue!
-
Steve (@IovannaSteven) reported@BitcoinNoder I've never had any issues selling livestock on Craigslist. I think that is the only option - the others all have "no live animal" restrictions
-
Kim.A.Mc (@KimAMcGoldrick) reported@AngelMD1103 I’ve had the same problems and craigslist is worse. They flag my posts about everything within five minutes of posting…
-
MasterBismuth (@MasterBismuth) reported@Dong_Quixote1 Back in the day this is precisely what I kept a pair of Craigslist IBM Thinkpads around for. If I wanted to **** with something that I even vaguely suspected might cause problems then I'd install a fresh Xubuntu on one and then jump into the thick of the bullshit.

joey baum (@joeybaum13) reportedIn San Francisco, a city on the cusp of every new technology, has a rather antiquated system for finding rental apartments. it's mostly craigslist and calling the phone number that hangs on a sign in front the building.
