  @Oroborous2 @BonesawMD First off is that it was very cheap. In USA gas and food as cheap as $100 a week. Overseas travel I budgeted $1k/month Seasonal odd jobs sporadically while saving 80% of pay. Would put up flyers and do handyman fix it work. Would flip things off of Craigslist etc

  Let me suggest that for any meeting like this where you are selling something to someone you do not know, you schedule the meeting at the local police station. Whether it is Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or any other site, always take some minimal precautions for your safety. I have done this myself and I usually will call the police ahead of time to let them know I am doing it, just so they know what is up. The added benefit is that when you tell them you want to meet at a police station, if it is a scam, they will likely back out and you save time and trouble.

  @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

  If you're posting jobs on Craigslist wondering why you can't find good people, that's the problem. The talent you want isn't on job boards. They're already crushing it somewhere else. Define the role. Then go hunt for the right person.

  Stop treating customers like one night stands. You spend $80 to acquire someone, give them no upsell, no follow up, no loyalty, and no referral incentive, then send them to a thank you page that looks like Craigslist and never speak to them again. If your LTV isn’t at least 3X CAC, ads aren’t the problem, you are.

  @chelseavelvet Craigslist is terrible. eBay is where the humor is.

  @wideofthepost But also the billionaires were causing problems before that too - it's arguably their fault that the industry was unable to weather the storm of Craigslist. Gannett, Scripps and the like were already buying and consolidating outlets and running up debt when the internet hit hard

  i never thought we would have a freeloader problem just grab people off craigslist again #fishtanklive

  @RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

  @EamonOFlynn @DennisKendel Craigslist was the first major blow. The classifieds were 1/3 of most papers revenue back in the day. But none of this is our problem. Trust in the Canadian mainstream news media has largely collapsed because half the population has zero representation. The CBC, CTV and Global are pretty much indistinguishable and could be merged into one without anyone even noticing. There's a lot of things they could do, but they won't as long as their failing business models keep getting propped by the public purse. The world has changed. Legacy news is dying out, and we should let it.

  @the_dadchef When my '77 wall oven started acting up: "Ma'am, for the cost to fix this you may as well buy a new one!" After TWO new garbage wall ovens later, I'm scouring Craigslist & Marketplace for a circa 70s-80s oven in decent shape (avocado or gold now acceptable). Ridiculous.

  @Bitcoin_Teddy There's a lot of broken monitors being offered in Craigslist where I live. No way they're sweaty gamers in this economy lol

  My mom once saw searches on my phone for a used car on Craigslist, and she screamed at me until my ears rang, telling me that I could never dream of affording it, how I don’t know about insurance (I did), and how I was childish for wanting to “just buy a car” (I was only curious and doing research, I didn’t even want one yet). Yet will also put me down for lack of social life, for my age and lack of independence? But will also make negative comments about making friends in unconventional ways (like through Twitter)? And disparage any attempt at independence? My parents have supported me in so many ways. I was unstable and unable to work at one point, and I would have been homeless without them. Yet I also feel incredibly trapped and claustrophobic. A part of me dreams of living far away. I just want to be left alone and not have to talk to anyone for a really long time.

  @algae_fish You might have trouble finding an rx8 but 6s you can find sometimes at auctions outside of Craigslist.

  @ShabazzStuart @nytimes This issue is of the MTA's own doing. Keys for rail yards and trains have been sold on craigslist, ebay, etc for as long as I could remember (still have the set for MTA and MNR i got ages ago). They had a team meant to keep an eye on these things and seemingly they slipped up

  @RichDecibels Wow.. that surely sounds automated. I also got "almost" scammed, but the scammer got confused and backed off, funny story too. Been selling gardening mulch at home. Put it on the Bulgarian "Craigslist" and got a reply 1 minute after I published the ad. The guy started asking me in a DM if it's possible to send it through the post office in an unusual way and for him to pay on delivery, then I said, "Are you sure? It is almost a ton of mulch. You will need a truck to get it and It will cost you a lot of money just for shipping." and I guess that triggered his LLM to do a compute error or something cause he never replied back.

  @cSchaez I think the issue is that my car genuinely does run fine, but if you look at all the listings around it on autotrader / craigslist a lot of them are actual scams or don't work. So people just understandably avoid the whole category

  @solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.

  @PalmerDesigns_ Ice fishing is actually pretty fun, bought a cheap snowmobile off Craigslist for the kids and we still spend time outside. Can’t just shut it down and stay inside gotta be a little more willing to get out. Throw on some snow shoes and try hiking, it’s actually not that bad

  Years ago, I Interviewed for a really good job around the same time my phone # was being used for some craigslist scam & after multiple calls I finally lost it on a # I didn't know and of course it was the company calling. That feeling was so terrible, still went and interviewed.

  @crusadepepe Craigslist. Get something at least 20 years old. Whatever the problem is, you can fix it yourself.

Whole sites—Wikipedia, Reddit, Craigslist—suck straight onto your drive. •Site crashes? Doesn’t matter. Yours is live. Ours is live. Everyone’s live. •Access? One crypto tip, auto-split: creator, hosts, seeders. No login. No boss. •Paywalls? Laughable. Build OmniFans next door—exact copy, zero cuts. Models keep every coin, run their own show. They decide distribution rights, not the website. •Tamper-proof. Open-source. No centre, no kill-switch. •Governments block? We fork. They bomb? We bounce. •One zip. One click. Total freedom. #SolutionToEverything

  @HollowAfro @ChaiDeluxe Keep checking FB marketplace and Craigslist. Good ones pop up on there at a good price, but you have to be quick about claiming and picking them up. Also, if you see that a marked up one has been on the market for awhile, you might be able to haggle them down.

  @themorapour Filling up a server rack with sideways ATX towers is crazy though. Rack cases are cheap on craigslist/ebay.

  @desert_starr_57 It's the same with Offerup, Letgo, and craigslist. Though despite the same issues, I did get decent results from Letgo up until Offerup bought them out and tanked the platform I stated right in my posts "Stupid Questions and lowball offers will be ignored and users blocked."

  @Oceanbreeze473 Life to short, I’d politely ask again, and again. Then I’d buy a $200 car off CraigsList and park it there permanently. Problem solved for $200.
