  @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.

  @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

  @LibOrNormal Well he needs to expand his skills and get a side job. All of us had to work weekends even if it was mowing a lawn, putting in a fence or fixing a car for extra cash to pay the bills. Plus not to mention selling anything we didn't want on craigslist if we had an extra bill to catch up on. Now for some who don't know, the bar is the best place to find some side work. If you have some side skills. People are always looking for a hand to build something, fix something or even do yard work.

  @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.

  I 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.

  @RichDecibels Wow.. that surely sounds automated. I also got "almost" scammed, but the scammer got confused and backed off, funny story too. Been selling gardening mulch at home. Put it on the Bulgarian "Craigslist" and got a reply 1 minute after I published the ad. The guy started asking me in a DM if it's possible to send it through the post office in an unusual way and for him to pay on delivery, then I said, "Are you sure? It is almost a ton of mulch. You will need a truck to get it and It will cost you a lot of money just for shipping." and I guess that triggered his LLM to do a compute error or something cause he never replied back.

  @PS0302 @lyndseyfifield @SammyBarrow32 Can definitely fix appliances yourself but it almost always means getting new parts. Meanwhile the frozen food is going to waste and probably has to be emptied anyways to make repairs. Best solution is cheapest freezer you can find on craigslist to tide you over. Maybe even rent

  @fuitsnack I did this and first the guy got mad at me for leaving ***** clothes in my own private bathroom that no one else used, so he made me move to a much smaller room for the same price. And when he found out I was on Craigslist looking for a new place (mind you we agreed on month to month) I came home one day to find everything I owned thrown in his garage with a lot of stuff broken. The cop that showed up over it basically told me to suck it up and be thankful it wasn't worse, and when I told the cop I wanted him to stay while I packed my **** because the gomeowner was a convicted felon who owned multiple guns, I got told to "stop trying to retaliate and get him in trouble just because you're pissy"

  @desert_starr_57 It's the same with Offerup, Letgo, and craigslist. Though despite the same issues, I did get decent results from Letgo up until Offerup bought them out and tanked the platform I stated right in my posts "Stupid Questions and lowball offers will be ignored and users blocked."

  A young Swedish woman, who described herself as having extraordinary beauty and extremely seductive charms posted an anonymous ad on Craigslist stating that she was looking for a wealthy man to marry with an annual income of over $500,000, plus several conditions. She received a response from a commenter, as follows: - My dear beautiful lady... I read your post with interest, and I think many beautiful girls have questions similar to yours. Allow me to analyze your questions as a professional investor. My total annual income is over $500,000, which perfectly matches your requirements. From my perspective as a businessman, it would be a bad decision to marry you. Here's my short answer, and let me explain why: "Regardless of the details, what you're doing now is a pure transaction. An exchange of your "beauty" for "my money." Person A has the beauty, and Person B will pay money for that beauty. A perfectly fair and straightforward transaction. However, there's a fatal problem here: your beauty will inevitably diminish over the years, while my money isn't expected to diminish without a strong reason. The truth is, my income will likely increase from year to year, while you won't be any more beautiful in a few years. So, from an economic perspective, I represent an "asset" whose value increases over time, while you represent a "consumer" asset whose value decreases. If your beauty is all you own, things will get worse because you won't be a normal consumer product, but rather a product with a very high depreciation rate that will completely expire within 10 years.

  @timjhogan They took an ad out on craigslist & paid $200 for people to be in the audience cheering. Sadly, Kid Rock doesn’t realize that when you take the mic and put it down by your waist while there are vocals coming through the speakers, we can tell that you’re not actually rapping live.

  @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.

  @washghost1 I had once bought a broken Samsung refrigerator for $ 300 on craigslist. The similar model still sells for little less than 2k. It pooled water under the freezer below, and the top refrigeration didn't work. I replaced the evap fan and patching some holes left by previous repair attempts, and removed the faulty drain valve insert by cutting out the valve itself with a utility knife. It has been working flawlessly for more than three years now. It seems Samsung still has a lot of room to improve on their long-term consumer testing.
