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 Phoenix Press (@ThePhoenixPress) reportedThis is the issue I have with the "just buy physical crowd" Why spend literally thousands of dollars to make your screen look like something you could get for free off Craigslist? I've had an early 2000's Trinitron sitting in my garage the past 10 years for this very reason.

Pointops (@pointopsrd) reported@Shiwon_NZ_Ao @AirbnbHelp @ApartmentsHope You live in a fantasy world, where AirBnB is responsible for anythig. Yes, they like to pretend so into your (customer) face, to justify their 20% cut. Under the fake surface, they are just a pink Craiglist. You issue is with the owner. AirBnB will fine him, keep his money and give you nothing. Many such cases. Research the horrid stories property owners had - not with guest but with ABnB.

47fucb4r8curb4fc8f8r4bfic8r (@47fucb4r8c69323) reportedI want to share a story that makes me look stupid because it is a testament to just how much America is a land of opportunity. Back in 2011 or so I was looking to get out of academia and I saw a job posted on Craigslist. It was a startup that they described as a Groupon-like new business (Google it, Gen Zers). Anyway, I emailed, they got back in touch, we discussed, and it was clear to me that I was not right for the job (see reply below for why, it's actually important). That company was called Applovin, which is now worth $138 billion dollars. Idk what number employee I'd have been--I seem to remember them saying #10, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me. Anyway, this was a craigslist ad and, if I'd been more money motivated, more willing to fake it until I make it, or maybe more confident, oh how comically absurdly repulsively rich I would be. And I ended up having coffee with one of the founders a couple of years later. We discussed what we were up to, and he was not good at all at hiding the contempt, disgust, and pity he had for me now that I was working as a lowly analyst on Wall Street, although he was certainly polite the entire time. But ex-Goldman founder types, well, they can only think in status and specifically the kinds of status games that their narrow little world certifies as valid. The moral of the story is that America has so much ******* opportunities, man, there are so many ways to make money, there are so many small companies that will become massive, and if you are not cynical and have an open mind you will find so many ways to get filthy ******* rich as a result. The best part of this story is I turned down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (which, ironically, I've had several of), and I still ended up a multi-millionaire in my 40s with enough cash to never have to work again and able to just do what I want to do. That's how much opportunity there is in America--even the weird autist who turns down a huge opportunity still ends up wealthy. Try doing that in Germany. Or Japan. I ******* love being American man.

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

ohenry (@OHENRY2264) reportedIt should’ve been coming down the Gold escalator, calling Mexicans rapists and people sending their worst. And also, people should not have fallen for T-shirts printed up ahead of time with craigslist offers to pay then to cheer for him. THAT is why dumb people get into a cult

GeoSPatton (@Geo_S_Patton) reported@MrsCMFrancis You're not kidding. I am trying to down size and I hate to just discard things. Don't trust FB market place or craigslist. What do I do with it. It has value.

Sara 🌙🇺🇦 (@mandolinsara) reported@chelseavelvet Craigslist is terrible. eBay is where the humor is.

ON THE COO… (@six_year_plan) reported@FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.

Greg Koenig (@gak_pdx) reported@RossGoodfellow2 I have a 2k sq_ft shop, I keep it really ***** so she never comes down. She has no idea what goes on! (She saw it yesterday actually, and out of all my high-end crazy gear, she thinks the $5k mill I bought off Craigslist is actually the coolest)

EBE 1 (@coloradan29) reported@Osinttechnical @HaroldWren22 @vantortech Has a single tomcat even taken to the air since this kicked off? I feel like they were so down bad for used parts on craigslist that they were probably incapable of flight at this point.
-
@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.

Brigadier Ketchup 🦨 (@Random_Walk_PDX) reported@GuyDealership If you need a 7 year note to finance a car, you're in way over your head. If your down payment isn't at least 1/3 the purchase price, look for something used and/or cheaper... or hit Craigslist. This is just basic financial literacy.
-
Chris Dalke (@chris_dalke) reported@KennethCassel @zanehengsperger The main problem I have with this is the only time I ever need cash is for a sketchy Craigslist purchase of a boat or something
-
Dispeller (@DispellerSOB) reported@4EVARDR1 @Rothmus seeing some on craigslist. Autotrader looks like its down though, idk but I'm back-n-forth between Central America and the states. I see a lot of decent used cars in Atlanta and in Central America but more expensive in Central America.

Hurricane Ben (@lukane89) reported@swanlake322562 @DAKKADAKKA1 bought cars consoles furniture and tvs on craigslist no problem, just gotta use common sense if a price is too good to be true there's a reason..Also the structure of the ad is very telling. If the person can barely put together a proper sentence stay away

Tax Donkey (@JohnnyEwing8888) reported@crusadepepe Craigslist. Get something at least 20 years old. Whatever the problem is, you can fix it yourself.

Paul Mitchell (@paulmitche11) reportedHere is the Craigslist ad for the company that hired this petition gatherer. Note: this is a subcontractor to the firm hired by CHA/CTA/Consumer Attorneys/Uber. They hire people as independent contractors. Based on the three part test in AB 5 (@LorenaSGonzalez) this is illegal. And everyone knows it. But they still hire these firms who use an illegal employment practice, one which is fraudulent, and encourages more fraud. The AG @RobBonta should be shutting all these operations down, confiscating all the signed petitions, and creating a massive cost to any organization that collects signatures with these shady firms. Firms that hire the handful of shady / monopolistic firms should fear that all their petitions will be impounded by a legal action by the state AG or a County Prosecutor if the firms they hire are breaking the states employment law. And that’s a minimum. Preferably this gets backed up by an aggressive reform. Looking at you @isaacgbryan - LFG!!

Backwards World (@Backwards_W0rld) reported@AngelMD1103 The same thing happened to CraigsList too, everyone went to Facebook and OfferUp because you could see who you are dealing with and rate them. I've had the same experience when trying to sell and give stuff away. It's not worth dealing with the no shows and people issues.
-
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.

Don A. LoBianco/Pitts (@DLoBianco_Pitts) reported@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

Greg Betz (@gregbetz55) reportedIt's not a coincidence that God killed the founder of the prostitution website OnlyFans with cancer. The government needs to shut that website down like they did with ******** and Craigslist.
