  Let me suggest that for any meeting like this where you are selling something to someone you do not know, you schedule the meeting at the local police station. Whether it is Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or any other site, always take some minimal precautions for your safety. I have done this myself and I usually will call the police ahead of time to let them know I am doing it, just so they know what is up. The added benefit is that when you tell them you want to meet at a police station, if it is a scam, they will likely back out and you save time and trouble.

  @solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.

  @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.

  About 18 years ago, my wife and I had this weird experience trying to get rid of a large dresser we no longer had room for. We posted it for FREE on Craigslist, and NO ONE RESPONDED. It was up for 2 weeks. We took it down, and re-posted it for $60. It was gone that night.

  @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.

  Well, never had a childhood watching anime, other than VK or kissasin free uploads. In shelter some inwood jerk sold me a broken mac on Craigslist. Then I rewatched a lot of missing stuffs. My first Kirby drawing was during 2021 fall. I feel like Pokémon Kirby stole our big plans 🤔 how did they know we have PopAi n AI too!? Wow 😮 #indiedev

  @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.

  @13B_SWAPPED @HankHil82749816 My buddies dad would keep buying him burner cars, these ones that run but with tons of issues from Craigslist for 500-1k every few months because we’d run them into the ground, crash, etc. an alcoholic repairman lived in their shed and illegally gave him inspection stickers

  @Anubis_Cell @RealNicePeople @pslymulation to head down to San Diego to dry the interior out as best we could, but gig opportunities, even busking, were a total bust. We got a lil hustle thru Craigslist speedcleaning airbnbs, then…. They started cracking down on RV parking and we were having engine trouble…

  @traff1c_junky yeah any year CRV is sought after, especially ones that are much easier to fix like your ‘98. I’d post it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc and get way more money than Carfax trade in

  I 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.

  @felixleezd 'Bad design' is just design that fails the wrong audience. Craigslist looks terrible to designers but users dgaf — it works. Objective bad design doesn't exist, only mismatched context.

  @combatbaIIerina @MattieMatt1q88 @TheLizVariant Craigslist, tho not perfectly, disallows the selling of companion animals. If you see someone attempting to sell an animal on the official Craigslist you should be able to report them and have their post taken down. Believe this is every online marketplace policy.

  @Jerry5424 @washghost1 Not if they had a TV show because on the show they would claim they sold it, broken, on Craigslist for like twenty grand, as part of their claim to be making $150k on every flip in just days.

  @lithos_graphein My craigslist search history says I do not, but would like to. Store bulk solvents outside, under cover. Not ideal, but better than burning the house down lol.

  DAY 8 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (the Craigslist pizza guy is asking for updates) told the pizza client the site is "in final QA testing" QA testing means I clicked the button once and it worked so I stopped sent him a screenshot of my localhost:8080 he asked what localhost means I told him it's a private developer preview link he said "wow professional" I am a fraud 2 hours of pretending to know what PHP sessions are 1 hour of actual learning what PHP sessions are I now know what PHP sessions are I immediately used them wrong and broke the login page ChatGPT fixed it ChatGPT is my real senior developer. I am just the one who copies and pastes. status: QA tested. localhost. deeply fraudulent. further less 💪

  @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.

  @J3ssicaStarling People pushed for COMPANIES to have to be responsible for the content they HOST. Since UNDERAGE girls, Trafficking victims, and REVENGE porn victims couldn’t get photos of themselves taken down. ******** and Craigslist CHOSE to remove the ability to post yourself safely to save $

  @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

  @RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

  @MichelleMaxwell Buy broken Cpap and Inogen oxygen concentrator machines. Repair and resell them. Really! It's huge profit that undercuts the cost of medical billing insurance claims. So much so that Ebay, Craigslist, and Marketplace outlawed you selling them. That ought to be a clue!

  I wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

  It'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.
