PR Zoooom (@zoooomNews) reportedSelling a car today still sucks. Craigslist → spam Facebook Marketplace → chaos Dealers → lowball offers You’re always trading off: trust, price, or convenience We’re building @ZoooomApp to fix this: • VIN-based listings (no manual input) • Verified buyers & sellers • Pricing transparency • Title checks What’s the most frustrating part of selling your car?

Great Great Sodium Nitrate (@ThatsWhatHeZaid) reported@SeitterSimora Ahhh yes. A Craigslist post. Not the other secret companies that do on crowds on demand for all the paid protests. People have faked them on the other side too. Just think. Would they have had trouble getting 200 ppl? Really? really?

Ayush (@ironmark1993) reportedif you really study zuck you’d realise that zuck’s superpower was never seeing the future. it was reacting to the present faster than anyone else. stories from snapchat, reels from tiktok, marketplace from craigslist, ai from openai. every single win was a fast copy executed at a scale nobody could match. the metaverse was the first time he tried to lead instead of follow. $80 billion later he’s shutting it down & going back to doing what he’s always done - chasing whoever’s winning right now. which at the moment is ai.

george (@idobadtakes) reported@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
-
Heaven on Earth is all our job (@HeaveningEarth) reported@KwayZeeOne @Rothmus Would 1 be enough? You can find very cheap undeveloped wooded acres on Craigslist if you filter by price literally less than 10k with a bit of digging plop down a little house + rolling chicken coup & you got yourself a tiny homestead
-
@VFW91 (@VFW91) reported@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.
-
Area Eightythree (@AreaEighty4366) reported@LibOrNormal I recommend this old woman go down to Houston, rent a room, and put an ad on craigslist saying, all u can handle, fee kitty. She can go home with souvenirs. In any case, don't take revenge advice from another woman, girls. Especially an old one
-
Brett Nashlund (@BNashBHHSDP) reportedBecause: Your price was too high Your marketing was poor It has too many problems or clutter You thought Craigslist had worldwide exposure. Call a professional... Contact me if you're in Northern California.
-
Mayor Cam (@Cameron54079333) reported@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.

jill bair (@BairJill14194) reportedhere trying craigslist for a bit in the Illinois are our if Wisconsin I got to get out of the Titanic here. it's sinking must move on. so sore tired but t out looking for rest. got to get out. enough is enough. I'm going to snap turtle someone's ***. goodnight! really want spike and new York I could just cry and break down. cry me a river type thing I'd sail away. here hoping someone will bite my bait to get out of this dump. gbu

Angela Baird (@AngelaB89611706) reportedI was thinking. Bad bunny lyrics were really that explicit. He needs shut down for putting our Spanish speaking kids in jeopardy. But I think Austin's Google account being shut down because he tried to get a bunny from craigslist is either his sickness I don't know or a problem
-
ayin 🖤 (@agathaxstasy) reportedErika literally ordered the hit, I saw the ad on craigslist and turned it down because i thought it was an fbi sting operation. she don't gaf if people parody him 😕
-
trout mask (original) (@BranPuffin) reported@HieroBorschtEsq I believe in you. Don’t let the Craigslist removal of back page get you down
-
Tom Smith (@tomwsmith) reported@0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.
-
El Gabo (@gabe_elgabo) reported@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.
-
Cori Arnold (@iamcoriarnold) reported6. I sold stuff. I got rid of a lot of stuff. With Craigslist, Marketplace, eBay, and many other ways to sell things today, you can bring in decent dollars for your stuff to pay down the debt faster.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.
-
Shobit Gupta (@shobitfarcast) reportedEveryone talks about Airbnb's Craigslist hack. The real lesson is the opposite of a hack. They flew to meet 24 users. They knocked on doors. They took photos themselves. The founders who find product-market fit fastest are the ones willing to do unscalable things until they understand exactly what's broken. Scale the insight. Not the hustle.
-
Doc Martinez (@DocMartinez2013) reported@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.
-
𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗥 😵 (@thedurrr) reported@StealthQE4 There’s literally an option on Craigslist and tons of other sites to buy with crypto what’s this dude on. He also doesn’t understand the use cases of these blockchains they are solving real world issues. There is a lot of vaporware in the space but also a lot of good.
-
Ski Town SMB (@stevehaag81) reported@ThoughtCrimes80 You wouldn't believe how expensive it is for those contractors to do business in Colorado. That's why you see these bids. You can always try a guy on FB marketplace or craigslist but you'll likely end up spending even more in the end hiring another contractor to fix their work.

Jake MacFarlane (@macfarlane_jake) reported@peekaboobeats i wanted to book you for my birthday but was told there would br an issue with playing doors opening for a craigslist magician
-
Rest in Peace Banewreaker 又 (@SkinSinge) reportedI learned how to fix these with 8 pennies and a bit of electrical tape and I would buy them on Craigslist and re-sell them fixed. About 12 cents in "parts" and 10-15 mins of labor.

BlueInThe6ix (@BlueInThe6ix) reported@TodayJays @JillianMcLeod05 TV inventory in Kijiji/Craiglist FREE listings are down 📉
-
Leigh Beadon (@leighbeadon) reported@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
-
AJ (@AJNoiter) reported@princess_kim_k @susancrabtree Do you know who shut down websites like ******** and Craigslist "Personals" section where human trafficking (including children) was rampant?
-
timeecool100 (@timeecool100) reportedlooking through the all the free stuff people are giving away on Craigslist like yeah I could just go down there and take that I don't want it but I could take it if I wanted to

Victor Dogeman (@VDogeman) reported@devcom1 I’m sorry for your loss. I lived with my brother for several years. He intended to buy a pit (bleh) on Craigslist for $40; it turned out to be half greyhound / half mutt. A brindle greyhound with a lab face, basically. I was across the country when Vic had to be put down. I wept.
