@saikenMD Okay okaayyy saless (Have you checked if Craigslist has like news (but usually just steelcase gestures) for $600-750 because there's a lot of down sizing companies that are selling for that bulk price 🥺 (gestures are so heavy though they're a whole workout and some change)

@Rightanglenews I truly cannot believe these comments. This is a typical Facebook/Craigslist "meet me at the car to get your money" scam and all of you believe it is legit? Holy God we are in trouble as a country.

@ManFirestorm I sold a huge amount of comics a few years ago, like 87-2015 era stuff. Found a guy on Craigslist who showed up with a van we packed full. Not sure how many issues it was, would have liked more $$ for them, but was great money for an afternoon of deciding what comics I love most.

@zackdfilms1 In 2008, Anthony Curcio robbed an armored truck of $400K in Monroe, WA. He posted a Craigslist ad hiring "cleaners" as decoys in identical outfits—jeans, blue shirts, yellow vests—to confuse police. He escaped via inner tube down the Skykomish River but was caught weeks later.

@InternetH0F I put a Craigslist add for an E-3B Sentry for $600 million. I worked on them at that time active duty so the AF didn't like that and made me take it down.

If you're making tens of millions recording interviews in your spare room, the least you could do is hire bloke off Craigslist to edit out the dull pre-ambles or condense hours of waffling down a tad

@brianbeers Dead guys blood stain on the sidewalk. When I walked up I knew I was gonna hit a grand slam. Found the deal on Craiglist. The place was in worse shape than Freddy Krugers basement. Closed on the building a few days later all cash and the blood was still gelatinous when I walked in with the owner for the grand tour. The pool of blood was 20ft from the door. Probably the best if not one of the best deals made on the east coast that year. One of my clients was working (emt) that night and told me all about it. (This was months later) He was still alive when they loaded him into the meat wagon, died shortly there after en route and the hospital is literally 3 min away. Just some crackhead. Kids: don't do drugs. Or make sure you pay if you do. The wildest thing you will ever see was what I saw the next day, a stray lapping up the curdled, skimmed over blood. I didn't own the building yet. I drove back past planning on what I was going to do. The place I had at the time was 3 blocks south. Wild times. Been a few shoot outs since, now they are all dead and the neighborhood is fine. (Not Chicago) had a guy on my sec camera running for his life and when played back in slow mo you could see the bullets hitting the snow...then one bullet hit my rear van window and shattered it and the guys head was right there, his lucky night. When the price discussion arose and before I said what I was willing to pay I said "with the crime scene out side, are you willing to come down on price?" I got a nod and offered 5k He Countered at 10 I said 8 is all I can do. Sold.

So, I’m sitting in this apartment. I have no money. I have no job prospects. I don’t know what to do. I start trolling Craigslist for gigs. I’d fix someone’s broken HTML on their website for 50 bucks, just anything I could get randomly. That ended up leading to web work. I started doing software projects, even though I didn’t know how to build software. I was outsourcing all of the work, which was another problem. I didn’t have any real skills.

When I was still hacking. There were times where in Craigslist, ads for that **** shown on the regular. I reported them down after seeing keywords and did recon to try to find clues. This on top of my business and ops back a decade ago, mind you.

@PhilMickelson @howardlutnick Another chat member tried to dox our publisher with a Craigslist post offering "free dog food," not realizing we were still receiving their messages. Kind of funny. Others were in less of a joking mood. "Did we get subpoenaed?" one asked. "I have a lot of lawyers, and I own a major criminal defense law firm," another replied. "I'll handle everyone's legal issue."

One time in Cleveland I tried to go see a house off Craigslist. It was less than $300/month for the whole house. The lady on the phone tried dissuading me, but I went anyway, and got there and the porch was caving in , and nobody showed up. Then I had Chinese food down the street

There is precedence for this Craigslist and back page used to be hives of villainy. They simply got harassed legally nonstop into changing. A lot more legal harassment is needed to stop dating app. Shut them down.

Down nearly 7 figures in the last few months. Feel like I played my hand terribly. A few years ago I was scrolling Craigslist trying to make $50 doing random jobs. Now I’m stressed about cartoon penguins and monkeys. Perspective really matters. We’re luckier than we think.

Many years ago I had a Craigslist roommate who wanted to have a sit down chat over how I’d cook bacon because he didn’t like “the smell of burning flesh” He moved away but he can probably be found on TikTok now talking about “kitchen trauma”

@Crunchyjackal @CultureCrave Actually websites can be held liable for the actions users take on the platform. This is why Craigslist got rid of their personals section years ago and why websites are legally required to crack down on CSAM

@MrPitbull07 I had the same experience with a small chifferobe I found on old Craigslist many years ago. I offered a bit less than asking price bc it kinda needed some restoration, but the gentleman (in his 90s) didn’t care and asked me what I’m going to do with it instead. I said maybe fix it up a bit so it wont fall apart as the carvings were exquisite but that I liked the way it was, it had character. He then agreed to sell it to me. When we picked it up, he made me promise to please take care of it & keep it as is. That he had been offered 5x the price by someone who wanted to turn it into a sink table. I asked why he didn’t take it and sold it to me for half his asking price. He then said that he got that furniture after WWII back in England, a lady traded it for his rationed supplies. Europe was in shambles and people would trade their belongings for food, cigarettes, and other necessities. He and another soldier friend carried that chifferobe to the ship and brought it back to the US as his “keepsake” from the war. He said at first he never really thought about it but the lady, a mother who lost their house in the war had been trading off whatever is left of their belongings to soldiers passing by. He didn’t want to take it but the lady said she wanted him to and that it had belonged to her family for years on and wanted for someone to give it another home, particularly wanted a US serviceman to have a “piece of England” to bring home. He treasured that piece like museums treasure a piece of the Berlin Wall. Having had no children, he was trying to find someone else to treasure that piece when he passes and keep the memories that came with it. To him it wasn’t just a piece of furniture, it was a piece of history. And til this day, I never did try to restore it. I decided to keep it as is and intend to pass it on to the next keeper when my time comes. Bonus: I was cleaning it after getting it back home and tucked in a small crevice in the drawer is an English coin. I looked at it, it was from the 1800s…not sure if it was the man’s or the original owner’s, but I put it right back where I found it, for the future keeper to find as well. xx

Your product might be better with less. Twitter forced brevity. Netflix simplified ratings to thumbs up/down. Craigslist stayed ugly and authentic. The limitations became the features. The constraints created the value. What would happen if you removed something?
