  @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.

  @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.

  @0xInk_ That slop looks like Gypsy Danger from Craigslist, and the "transformation" is just parts awkwardly appearing out of thin air. These problems could be fixed if you didn't need a ******* clanker to do the hard work for you.

  @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.

  @DabsMalone I used to pick up broken electronics during college and sell the functional parts on eBay and Craigslist and taking apart those massive printers was the most painful experience ever. Very heavy, complex, no demand for replacement parts. Learned my lesson and switched to TVs and never looked back lol.

  @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.

  @celticsfan695 It's not good right now for tenants. You get the best deals searching between November and February. Best chance of getting a deal now is to scour Craigslist and find the ads with terrible pictures.

  @andrewchen craigslist worked because newspapers were already dying from their own economics. AI replacing jobs is different than AI undercutting a broken business model that refused to adapt.

  @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.

  > attempt to sell an old bar car I've had sitting around on Craigslist > get a few offers, all fall through > "motivated buyer" contacts me wanting to buy immediately > red flags go off naturally > Talk to a "DaQuarius Xxxxx" via text and phone call > keeps wanting address > tell him a parking lot > "no worries! I'll come to you!" > tell him no and have a good day > yesterday find MY car I'm selling for sale on Facebook marketplace > they won't take his post down > look online to find out who to contact with the police > website says to go into the station and give an in person report > go to the police station > "sorry sir, you have to file these sort of reports online" > show the fat lady the police website saying to come in person for situations such as mine > her brain explodes and she gets flustered and tells me to fill out a completely unrelated online form and someone should get back to me within a few weeks I'm so ******* sick and tired of criminals AND police just doing whatever to **** they want while regular Joe 2-Tallboy gets their **** packed in then stolen by criminals then their moneyforcibly taken from the government under threat of force.

  @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

  Paul Mitchell (@paulmitche11) reported 32 minutes ago

  Here 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!!

  @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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @Thanksfoasking @Evie_Magazine @AnnaDamon5143 It’s a really difficult question. I was studying at NYU to school of the arts living in the law dorms. My friend and roommate was looking for jobs and none of them than craigslist. She found a job as a photographers assistant. She came home one evening, breaking down in tears and shaking, telling me that she had been ***** by him. I really stood by her and then one day we decided to try to look for an apartment because we’d wake up in the middle of the night and see these huge roaches, crawling on the wall near our heads. Don’t you know that there were a group of women waiting to be interviewed by this landlord when he came out to call the next possible girl my friend grabbed my hand and whispered to me that’s him! I wasn’t afraid of the bastard now that I finally know he’s taking advantage of women big time. I quickly spoke up to several performing artists and said.” guys this is really dangerous and that man ***** my friend you’ve got to get out of here.” One of the women responded I don’t care and they all stayed. There was always both an athletic commitment and simultaneously taking jobs, one of which was in a place call café in Americano. Little did I know that the owner was a crack addict, and his main clientele were members of one of the Italian mafias. The owner used to smash dishes in the kitchen and them come out and asked me if everything was doing OK honey? I was at the bar getting drinks and this very huge shady man began talking to me. He asked me if I liked olives and I said yeah then he grabbed me and took the olive in his mouth and tried to put it on mine like he was kissing me. Things like this get me so much in a rage it’s adrenaline and I yelled at him if you ever ever do that again you’re breathing be getting a visit from one of the boys in Westchester, a whole crew of them. He tried to make light of it and joke, but I ignored him. Then the owner came out and pulled me aside and said do you have any idea who you were talking to? I said no just some pervert. He said no sweetie you’ve got it all wrong. He’s very involved in laundering money and selling narcotics. What’s the Genevieves mob. I wasn’t concerned and when I left that night from Chelsea it was pitch black and I was wearing a long sleeved white dress. Out of nowhere, a huge rat the size of a small dog cut me off and stepped on my foot. I don’t think I’ve ever ran that fast in my life back to Washington Square.

  I 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

  @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.

  GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported 48 minutes ago

  @f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

  This 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.

  1. You don’t need thousands of followers to get your first customer. Airbnb’s first users came from Craigslist. Focus on finding one real person with a problem you can solve.

  @SSB_Rick Quit playing video games, quit drinking. How I started making money, that would work today. Found couches on facebook/craigslist for sale. Negotiated them down to almost free. Took them home, cleaned them, took good pictures and posted them for sale with free delivery = 3,500 a month. Yard sales on weekends. Got there at open. Use ebay, click the search for "recently sold items". Look for old video games, sports stuff, action figures... anything. Search for the real value. Offer pennies on the dollar =2,500 month Flipping items I found at Ross, Costco, Walmart, Berlington, Target etc. Look for clearance items. Same as the yard sale. Flipped those items for about =1,000 a month Get an amazon sellers account. Look for items at stores to resell on amazon. Bought Millenial monopoly for 10 dollars at walmart, sold it for 50 on amazon. Rinse and repeat. This replaced the flipping items above, jumped to 5000 a month. Quit wasting your time. The money is sitting there, go work your *** off. **** your video games. **** your alcohol. **** X. **** sports. **** everyone except your kids. You got this man. You can dm me if you want specifics with any of this.

  @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.

  @Lawprism21 @sadhawkeyefan Also they probably got kicked out of school so I cannot really see this craigslist ad for recruits going anywhere outside of a campus. "Just 20 chill dudes who want to hang out. You have to let us best you up and throw salsa down your pants to be our friend though."

  @the_dadchef When my '77 wall oven started acting up: "Ma'am, for the cost to fix this you may as well buy a new one!" After TWO new garbage wall ovens later, I'm scouring Craigslist & Marketplace for a circa 70s-80s oven in decent shape (avocado or gold now acceptable). Ridiculous.
