    @ClownWorld Well what do you call online shopping? We have a problem in the world where people steal from large corporations & others to resell the items online through hosted and self hosted sites such as WhatsApp, poshmark, eBay, micari, X, instagram, Facebook marketplaces and Craigslist.

    Nothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****

    @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.

    @notdan @NSAGov Used to work there doing offsec (CNO & CNE). Can confirm. For a minute there we knew Al Queda had moved from stego embedded Craigslist ads to WoW (2012/2013 time frame). We had found one server that was like a hot bed for comms.

    @Jome253 I had the lite but didn’t keep it long and sold it off so no big catalog I have a 50min-1hr train ride to work so handheld is ideal, can also use during shift.. Money isn’t issue but I’ve looked on Craigslist for value but most are too used up so leaning brand new.

    @jjohnpotter Did you put it on craigslist? List it for $20 and say, best deal in town, cost $xx,xxx new. People can't pass up a good deal. If it's free they think something is wrong, if they pay, it's a way to earn money. The Brain is broken this way.

    @47People When l picked up Bruno as a puppy on Craigslist, l went down a dark road, they released two German shepherds to me full grown in the dark, they sniffed me, l didn't show fear. The owner checked on Bruno for some years after that sale to me. D

    @GrahamAllen How difficult will it be to track down the people that are selling the merchandise? Facebook, Craigslist, flea markets. Well it is not a law enforcement priority.

    @RedPillMediaX @ScottPresler already has his skinny jeans down around his cowboy boots. I wonder if he'll sell the videos on Craigslist again?

    @spaztron64 Yeah, go to Craigslist if you want to see what most websites looked like in the 2000s. Most websites were just menu boxes on a page. None of this scrolling down forever nonsense.

    @Charles07788205 @RubiRubidoooo KSL (not KSE—likely a typo) is KSL Classifieds, Utah's big online marketplace (like Craigslist) run by Deseret News. The guy in the video is from the Kingston clan ("The Order"), a polygamist group based in Davis County, Utah. Polygamy is illegal under US/UT law (bigamy felony), but these groups often use one legal marriage + "spiritual" unions to skirt enforcement unless abuse/fraud/child issues arise. They've been investigated for decades but operate in plain sight there.

    @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.

    Dilan Esper (@dilanesper) reported

    The basic problem the post-Craigslist post-NYT winner-take-all world has exposed is that there's insufficient demand for local news and that the "news" people read their local papers for was always the national stories they now pick up from the NYT or maybe Fox.

    I’ve already had 20 minute talk with your employee at the store I bought this at. Unless you can tell me you will manage this issue, I’m not sure what there is to talk about. You should tell people that Marketplace is basically the same as Craigslist when they are in the store

    Well, 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?

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

    @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

    @anistotle_ If you want a grim laugh. Scroll through the used car listings on Craigslist or FB marketplace. You'll see the same carbon copy energy in the ads as you would see on the dating apps. Instead of everyone liking hiking, tacos, movies and music, it's "runs strong", "new tires", "just had $1500 of maintenance done" Sir, that 2005 Dodge Avenger with 200,000mi isn't worth what you're asking and will break down the minute you look at it wrong.

    @0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.

    @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.

  • arikimmel
    kimmel (@arikimmel) reported

    I 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_ 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.
