Craigslist has more SCAMS than real apts for rent?? Im in deperate need for housing and CL wastes my time and effort by allowing these scammers to advertise apts that aren't REAL. CL is despicable and should be shut down by the federal govt. Screen your ads for CROOKS!!!

@Mericamemed Wait until those spaces are all filled because a guy down the street is flipping cars on craigslist. then you might see the utility of limiting time in some places.

@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!

@KBobTech @kbrewFL Yes, you can buy used water softeners on sites like eBay or Craigslist for $100–$500, often cheaper than new ($800+). Check resin condition and test it first, as worn parts may need replacement. DIY install is feasible if you're handy with plumbing—takes 2–4 hours, needs basic tools, and costs $0 in labor. Follow guides from Home Depot or YouTube. However, pros recommend professional install ($300–$1,000) to avoid leaks or code issues in FL. Get local quotes.

The flips are simple: ✅ Clean up the property (paint, pressure wash, fix steps/skirting, etc) ✅ Market to cash buyers on FB, Craigslist, and park managers ✅ Close in DAYS, not months I’ve doubled my money before most flippers even got a contractor quote.

@TheTimiO16 @favoritetechgal Yeah, true. I had the same issue once I started using a solid VPN, Craigslist opened fine and I could check the local listings.

@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)

@iloveweirdal normally I'd agree buying off fb marketplace or Craigslist is better but the used car market is kinda ****** now so unless you got plenty of time to shop around/ haggle you might get stuck with a lemon which gets more expensive if you can't fix it yourself

@itsNTBmedia I remember my good old craiglist gps would occasionally show me driving through a random field or lake. I guess it was an update problem, but it was sometimes hilarious and usually super frustrating

@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!

@DivineManhood Ummm, flipping free Craiglist stuff? So he started his journey by profiting off free items that someone who is struggling could've really used? Bad form. Just terrible form.

@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)

@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.

@JSAscension These types of roommate posts are all over Craigslist in every town. Nothing new. Just a news headline to avoid talking about real issues.

@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.

But instead you know they, or rather we didn't have the paperwork for me living in that house. And I swear up and down and left and right I filled out paperwork for that house. I'm pretty sure it was a Craigslist ad and I'm not sure if I paid just up fronts or if I put a deposit.

@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 $

@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.

@JamesHu27192912 I've got enough to last the winter and a few big trees to take down and split for the next year or so. I run Craigslist ads looking for people with dead trees that they want taken down in out of the way places.

@newstart_2024 These junkie's don't care what they put into their bodies , Soros **** heads were plenty obvious to me in 2020. Twenty dollars a hour paid protestors found off of Craigslist ads., Minnesota Freedom Funds director a individual in recovery from **** abuse herself. Notice they got problems in Portland Oregon as well , they both the same type of people.

@someothertimes @MomsPostingLs Yes, investigations like CBC's in March 2025 found over a dozen such ads easily on sites like Craigslist, indicating they're becoming more common due to housing shortages, especially in Ontario. No major updates since, but they persist as a noted issue.

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.
