    🌟 Sell unwanted items. Go through your home and find things you no longer need or use. Sell them on websites like the Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, thrift stores, or your local yard sale. Use the cash to pay down your debt.

  • GAFGRM New Jersey Grinch (@GAFGRM) reported

    @DennisBorder No. It's NOT you. It was genetics that resulted in his problems, not use. A badly bred dog. Some idiot on @Nextdoor is advertising for a stud for his female. #Craigslist doesn't allow them. They promote bad breeding, which means dogs that suffer, and owners with high vet bills.

    @JeseMartinezCEO @PowerGPU Hear that you dumb money unhavers? buy a ps5, flip things on craigslist, and used items NEVER have issues.

    @MalachiSm1th___ @realdreamwynter Never mind guys looks like her dad walked out on her when she was younger which probably explains why she’s desperate for male attention. I’m hearing it’s a lot like throwing a hotdog down a hallway from her Craigslist reviews.

  • JeseMartinezCEO Jese Martinez (@JeseMartinezCEO) reported

    @JohnWic13412627 @PowerGPU Had no problems over the past 11 years buying stuff on Craigslist and have saved over 80% vs new

  • BlackpillLuffy Blackpill D. Luffy (@BlackpillLuffy) reported

    Hoes always gonna sell *****. Craigslist and ******** were the castles for selling ***** for hoes back in the 2000s. After Craigslist shut down the adult section in 2010 and ******** got seized by the FBI in 2018, the hoes had to sell ***** elsewhere. They went to instagram.

  • rocam54 (@rocam54) reported

    @Th1stLunarTides @Serial_Lain_ @davidhogg111 That’s the worst argument ever. Other countries with strict gun laws don’t have that issue. In the states I can list a PS5 on Craigslist and get at least 10 people who want to trade for assault rifles.

  • MrInBetwixt Mr. InBetwixt (@MrInBetwixt) reported

    @DanCham03014042 I get those quite a lot. If you call them out for being thots, you get blocked. Evidently the flesh trade problem persists here. Ironic that Craigslist Personals was shut down because they couldn't get a handle on it either.

    @KinkyBedBugs Craigslist is down bad eh

  • MyLoweLife Tony Ginobli wit the euro step (@MyLoweLife) reported

    @pea_que_ nah I would be too but there’s only 3 things you can do: buy a new rim (fb market or craigslist), fix it (if your rim is black, it might work with a lil paint) or forget it and move on

  • MrPassive_ Mike Hoffmann (@MrPassive_) reported

    1.) Buying a machine for a screaming deal off Craigslist or Marketplace without doing due diligence The 10 yr old machine is having issues connecting to the 2022 Credit Card reader? That $ you saved for the cheap machine you just lost out by having a 'Cash Only' machine

  • lyndseyfifield Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) reported

    Selling a vacuum on craigslist because the beater bar is broken and someone just emailed to ask me "what is a beater bar?" so this was another great day on the internet.

  • LilUzi83rt Lil *** Bert (@LilUzi83rt) reported

    @punished_cait Reminds me of this time someone tried to sell my families house on Craigslist. We were so confused as to why people kept slowing down in front of our house while driving by

  • Jungle_CS James 🇺🇦 (@Jungle_CS) reported

    Like I've had less problems using ******* craigslist. CRAIGSLIST IN 2023

  • Nobodys_Inn Hello, this is Nobody. Hello? (@Nobodys_Inn) reported

    @WadeJeremy76 @Babygravy9 @OnlytheBreast I am shocked that FDA, HHS, USDA, etc haven't come down like a bag of hammers on this Craigslist for milk. I do like the idea. Formula lacks antibodies needed to help babies develop their immune systems without having to get sick.

  • TheSamLev Samantha (@TheSamLev) reported

    How did Michael & Dex meet? Like did Michael post a Craigslist ad asking for people interested in helping him take down his daddy & Dex replied? Why? What’s in it for him? I need answers! #GH #GeneralHospital #generalhospitalabc

  • alexisryannoir Alexia_Ryann 💋 LA/OC/Ventura County (@alexisryannoir) reported

    @CatarinaKush I put an ad out on Craigslist about a sugar relationship and down the rabbit hole I went!

  • DoombotQ DoomBot [Q] (@DoombotQ) reported

    @usa_retro I mean, there’s always Craigslist for local sales, which sidesteps a lot of those issues, but obviously for online sales, that makes things a lot harder to sell as an individual.

  • RSpacefox Solus Viator, Insaniam Deus (Raemian) ~voidwalker~ (@RSpacefox) reported

    Why is it that people selling vehicles on Craigslist are seemingly terrible at answering and returning calls? I mean, I wish to purchase their vehicle. I have cash, actual physical cash, at this very moment and I wish to exchange it for the privilege of personal transportation.

  • Normjokes_ Norm (@Normjokes_) reported

    I think there's some trouble over at Craigslist. I went over there and saw an ad: 'Someone to kill Craig's wife'

  • ridernotbiker Boycott China (@ridernotbiker) reported

    @LailaMickelwait I don't understand craigslist personals were taken down yrs ago but Porn is up and running. Guess State government is short staffed.

  • GAFGRM New Jersey Grinch (@GAFGRM) reported

    @ThePanic16 Don't know if you saw my post about @NextDoor. Someone in my neighborhood is advertising his Maltese to breed. I've been encouraging people to send a note to them, asking them to ban such ads. #Craigslist doesn't allow them. ND shouldn't either. Adds to the problem

  • JeseMartinezCEO Jese Martinez (@JeseMartinezCEO) reported

    @Katsmaintank @PowerGPU Also from purchasing everything used that was electronics in our house I never had one thing have issues. I Flipped PCs and other things on craigslist for over 10 years and got what I wanted and started a PC company. Again do things the smart way and save money.

    Is Craigslist down?

  • BillyRay631417 all good things must come to an end ** TY + ILY👴 (@BillyRay631417) reported

    So first they took down ********. Then they nixed Craigslist. Then they rolled out the grammatical Force known as double list, replete with FBI nitwits. Finally, they showcase the Ohio operative, replete file chloride. What's next- they're going to make it illegal for

  • Jessica925cre jessica Mauser (@Jessica925cre) reported

    Circa ‘11 - Craigslist (should have known better) a retail space for lease in a new downtown development. Beautiful project. The problem, it was delivered in 08/09 and tenants are sucking wind. “you couldn’t pay me to take your **** space, that’s where businesses go to die” 🫠

  • BowTiedNightOwl BowTiedNightOwl (@BowTiedNightOwl) reported

    Craigslist, making $500M / yr in profit: doesn't even know the word "formatting" Post-MBA investment banking associate who never generated a dollar of revenue in his life: "on slide 79 there was a space between the end of the sentence and the period pls fix"

  • trueLiberalist Freedom and Liberty for All🏴 (@trueLiberalist) reported

    @MsTraceyLynn Depending on location Craigslist can be good (or terrible). Facebook marketplace is more consistent. eBay and Amazon are ok if you have name brand stuff that is unused or lightly used. Estate Sale if you want to empty the house.

  • PhotoHazard Hazardous Menace (@PhotoHazard) reported

    @CentricOttawa @StephenPunwasi I used to do this for stuff on Craigslist, except to drive prices down. Create 4-5 false listings of something I needed, at ~40% off average listing prices. This set new standard price, & I bought from someone that adjusted their price. Saved hundreds of dollars over ~12 months.
