Rooftop Assyrian ن (@RooftopAssyrian) reported@eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.

AChosenOne22 (@AChosenOne22) reportedALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU THE REAL PROBLEM. IT'S TOTAL INSANITY ACTUALLY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PUT 1300 PEOPLE INTO A HOMELESS CONCENTRATION CAMP AND CLAIM THAT ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS COME FROM DRUGS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY DECIDE IS WRONG WITH YOU WITHOUT EVER LOOKING AT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT AND THAT IS THE HOUSING SHORTAGE THAT THEY JUST CONVENIENTLY DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT 1300 HOMELESS PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THAT FACILITY? WELL THAT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH LET'S JUST TRY AND FIND EVERY ONE OF THEM THEIR OWN ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT ON CRAIGSLIST SO THEY CAN LIVE IN SALT LAKE CITY OF COURSE. DO IT.

Kim Jones (@KimJone68361822) reportedPut an ad on Craigslist and Facebook Market place that is where I get my eggs from. And have a porch pick up. Can you hang a sign in a tree that says fresh eggs. Go around the rules instead. You cannot fight the ******** in our government. They are mindless clones with limited IQ

Less1984More1776 (@TheUSneedsus) reported@MilderAnn @MrAndyNgo It won't. But they've been trying for years. PETA and Craigslist are funding the petitioner. What i think will happen, it will get people talking. And in the next few years it will be dumbed down to something like only 1k hunting/fishing licenses. And you must jump through hoops.

United Fireworks (@unitedfireworks) reportedBuy Right, Avoid Fireworks Scams Fireworks sales scams often spike around the Fourth of July, featuring fake websites, illegitimate online marketplaces (Facebook, Craigslist), and fraudulent "clearance" deals. Scammers often demand cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle/Venmo, providing no contact info. Inspect products for fake "safe and sane" seals and avoid unlicensed roadside stands. Common Fireworks Sales Scams: Fake Social Media: Scammers create social media posts advertising cheap fireworks or "after-holiday" clearances, specifically stealing payment information. Illegal Online Marketplaces: Fraudulent sellers operate on platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, often selling illegal or nonexistent products. Misleading Product Packaging: Products may be disguised, such as canister shells packaged to look like different, or sometimes, lower-quality items. Counterfeit "Safe and Sane" Seals: Sellers may use fake, non-genuine safety seals, particularly on fireworks that are illegal in certain areas. Unlicensed Roadside Stands: Temporary, un-permitted stands may sell illegal or dangerous products. How to Avoid Scams Verify Sellers: Only buy from reputable, known fireworks retailers. Secure Payment Methods: Avoid paying with cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle, which offer little protection for fraud. Check Local Laws: Ensure the fireworks are legal in your area; illegal fireworks are often sold via illicit channels. Avoid "Too Good To Be True" Deals: Extremely low prices or "exclusive" sales are red flags. Inspect Before Buying: Check for legitimate packaging and seals. Further insight into potential scams associated with larger vendors, consumers have reported issues with high minimum spend requirements for discounts as under covered by Ed Haury of United Fireworks.

Tyrin The Body (@TyrinLeeXXX) reportedStory time 😈 pt 1 When i was 16 i gave my *** up for the first time for the first time to some guy I met on Craigslist. I labeled my ad as 18yr virgin hole and I included pictures. After gettin what felt like a million hits I finally settle on one. We exchanged emails and eventually texts. I explained I was a virgin and looking to take **** for the first time. He had big **** and was obviously older (at the time mid 40s) He walked me through douching via text. I remember using my Gatorade bottle from my high-school gym bag lol to clean out. Which was easy cuz I had my own bathroom in the basement (perks of being the oldest lol). My bedroom was in the basement so I would sneak out of my house through the window, pushed the car out of the drive way so It didn't make noise when I started it lol. It was about 130 am when I finally got to his house. He lived about but about 30 minutes away. I remember being so scared as I got out of my car walking up to the door of his house cuz it was Hella dark. He opened it without coming outside and I walked in. He guided me through through the house, we eventually got to a door which lead to the basement. We go down the stairs and I remember seeing an entire set up, blue lights, music, giant *** bed and giant *** mirror in front. I remember sitting on the bed. He told me to get down and come over to him, as I walk over he drops his pants and told me to suck his ****. And which i did. I remember thinking his **** was much bigger and harder then my friends (we would sometimes jerk each other in the bathroom at school during lunch). About 10 minutes goes by and he tells me to get on the bed but get on all 4s. I started tk sweat slightly cuz i was getting nervous and I remember telling him again that I was brand new to all this. Telling me to just relax, he guided my body to an all 4 position with my *** literally hanging off the bed I was thinking i was gonna fall. He then gave me a bottle (poppers) and told me to sniff lightly. I remember getting the biggest headache and then just just laid my head and chest on the bed cuz **** was spinning. *** still up, he began to eat my hole. Never in my life feeling that sensation immediately tensed up. Things still spinning but slightly less, he tells me to lightly sniff again and then lay back down head and chest to the bed. So I did and he began to eat my hole. Now I'm feeling the euphoria of it all and he begins telling me to push out. I remember being confused and asking what do you mean, he stops and he said verbatim "push like your taking a ****" He hands me the bottle, I sniff and push. I remember literally feeling his tongue slide in and out of my hole. So for about 15 minutes so I'm *** up while he "prepped" me. Then he turned me on my back and dragged me to the edge of the bed. He put a pillow under my lower back and told me to sniff lightly like I've been doing. Now getting a good look at him, I realized this was definitely an older man, but we are so far in and hes clearly into what we are doing so I brushed the idea out of my head. Still slightly being out of it from the poppers, he tells to sniff and push out. I remember feeling the head of his **** on my hole and was hard and pulsating. I remember getting hard and he started to suck my ****. Only for a slight moment and quickly became brick. Once back to position, he then told me to sniff and push. Which I did. Once I felt the head of his **** penetrate me I immediately tensed up. Him talking me through it just said relax, sniff, and push. So I attempted to relax and did as I was told. Once the head was in, it was slight movement until I felt relaxed. He stroked my hole with the head slowly and repeatedly till I opened up which didnt take long after hitting those poppers. After a few minutes he told me I was ready and he went all the way in. I remember squirming in pain for about 1 minute till it just stopped. Then pure pleasure.

DataJuggler (@DataJuggler007) reported10 years ago I bought a desk off of Craigslist of $75. I offered him $80 if he would deliver it (1 mile). I still have the same desk. Down to about .53 cents per month by now.

jjjericho16 (@jjjericho16) reported@malovvave I'll give them a pass on this one just because if you've ever sold a vehicle on Craigslist or FB Marketplace it's like wading into a conglomeration of short bus graduates. So I'll pretend he's waiting for someone not crazy and then will walk down to a reasonable price.

Alicia (@BarracoAlicia) reported@1995_nightowl Damn, that’s next-level neighborhood apocalypse. Karen didn’t just fumble the bag—she burned the whole village down, collected blackmail checks, shopped the baby like it was Craigslist furniture, and then dropped the video as the grand finale.

EyesWideOpen (@ClarityHurts) reported@Thedude69750960 @bradleyryder @Cryptoboyy_Aji I did NOT have a "chance." I clawed success out of the rocky ******* ground. People make their own "chance." My fiancé and I rented an in-law quarters for $500 a month. It was ONE ROOM! So we slept and crapped right next to the kitchen. We had my pickup and a banged up scooter we got off Craigslist. Most times we took the scooter. Fun times. My fiancé waited tables and I taught piano lessons afternoons and nights, which paid the bills but still didn't offer much to save. So I went to a hard money lender (which means an exhorbitant interest rate and one year to pay it back - or you get your shins broken. But no credit check.) and bought wrecked houses, fixed them up, and flipped them. It was grueling work which cost me blood, sleep, and in the end a f'd up back. But we saved enough to buy our OWN wrecked house and fixed it up. Again grueling. We had to use the gas station bathroom for a months while we rebuilt the plumbing in the "new" house. Eventually, we started a new business and phased out the piano lessons and waitressing. Now we have four kids, and life is golden. Opportunity doesn't just fall in your lap. You have to fight and claw and dig for it. But it hurts. It's much less painful to sit around making lousy excuses.

Alexis Wood- 🎀 Rust Belt Princess (@IheardalittleT) reported@hostbodyhan I find the best cars on Craigslist, beware anything that’s been on the market for too long. Test drive everything, corner at slow and medium speeds with the windows down to listen etc - Good luck!

Nazare Andrei (@NazareAndrei1) reported@RealMattCouch Wow, so many retards in this thread. You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to tell the officer if you have a gun. But i guess many of you bought your guns off ebay or craigslist or the chimps down the road, or from the 2-toothed hick that owns the derelict gun shop.

RationalAnarchist (@marcalodunerro) reported@deplorable2025 @EBTtok I agree with you mostly but i also want to mock you because your name is Craig. For the life of me though I can't remember a Craig that has given me an issue. Maybe Craigslist has something to do with it. 🤔

Dianne 🌻 (@soaked2thebone) reported@EricLDaugh How was he gonna burn her house down from Turkey? Via a help wanted, experienced arsonist ad on her area's Craigslist?

Messer (@hype_joshy11) reported@sarkonakj Righto - so a TERF freak like yourself ******* and whined because she "is afraid of men" but ONLY if they're trans? So she wanted to be away from "men" but only trans ones? If wanting "female-only" housing was the only issue, why was she not looking elsewhere? Craigslist etc..??

Aaron Lemke (@aaronlemke) reportedMy ADU was broken into recently and several musical instruments were stolen. So I built Vigilanthony An agent who tracks stolen items. It has a list of all my stolen items, and every morning scans online marketplaces like Craigslist and Ebay along with several **** shop sites surrounding the Austin area. It then analyzes the results and looks for matches with my item list. No hits yet but we will stay vigilant. ✊

Henry Akeley 🇺🇸 (@henry_akeley71) reported@SlumRNA_Dog VB Knives: “Can’t believe anyone would have a problem with this. Some real losers on this site. Making White kids sell peepee rugs to random violent nonwhites on Craigslist is a great way to build character and save up for code school.”

🇦🇶 🔞NSFWROH 🔞 🇦🇶 (@NsfwRoh) reported@Papanicolaou_r3 Lewd models are fine and are encouraged. The issue is turning the scene into another craiglist. Lewd Models are aren't. Most of us don't want IRL nudes. There are other websites for that.

Bill Walker (@BWalkerTTAGGG) reported@TheCarolineMc Unfortunate. Check the ads on Craiglist for cheap scooters and hunt the guy down... he's probably the only thief in town.

Area503 (@RealArea503) reported@GravityDarkAge No one said they did. There is no indication where this file came from. I am guessing it was in the "UAP" folder on the JWICS server.. sort of like a secure version of craigslist for DOD/IC folks.

Blackish Press (@blackishpress) reportedColman Domingo appeared on the 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler' program and talked about how he met his husband, Raúl, over 20 years ago "It's a weird thing because I lived in San Francisco for 10 years, then moved to New York. I went back to San Francisco to do a show at Berkeley Rep. I was in Berkeley, California, crossing paths going into a Walgreens, when I saw the most beautiful person I think I've ever seen. Not just beautiful aesthetically, but energetically. We never speak. Three days later, I was trying to buy a used computer on Craigslist. I couldn't stop thinking about him, so I thought about posting one of those Missed Connections ads. I used to read them like crazy. I got to the second page, and the third one down — I remember exactly the placement — it said: "Saw you outside of Walgreens, Berkeley." He had posted it just an hour before I looked. So we were looking for each other. And then we met. I'm so uncool: we met three days later, had our first date, and I literally said, "I think I love you, and you're going to change my life." That's how uncool I am, though."

Sohail Iqbal (@siqbal22) reportedSell home goods, furniture, and electronics locally 2–4 weeks before listing by using platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or Craigslist for quick, high-volume sales. For high-value, high-end items or extensive collections, hire an estate sale professional. Prioritize creating a neutral, decluttered, and bright home environment to appeal to buyers. [1, 2, 3, 4] Top Local Sales Strategies: Facebook Marketplace (Recommended): Best for furniture, electronics, and large household items. Good for rapid transactions. Craigslist: Efficient for furniture and tech, attracting local, direct-sale buyers. Nextdoor: Excellent for reaching neighbors who can easily pick up items. OfferUp: Another user-friendly app for local furniture and electronics, say. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Tips for Maximizing Value & Efficiency: Bundle Items: Group small kitchen tools, office supplies, or decorative items to sell them faster. Pricing: Check "completed listings" on sites like eBay to set realistic, competitive prices. Clearance: Consider hosting a garage sale for a one-day purge, suggests. Safety: Meet in public places if possible, or ensure someone is home during local pickups. Donate/Junk Removal: Use charities like Goodwill for donations, and hire services for junk removal to handle items not sold, says. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] Preparing the Home for Sale: Depersonalize: Remove personal items, religious items, and specific, distracting decorations. Don't Fix Everything: Avoid massive renovations; focus on cleaning and minor repairs. Lighting: Ensure the home is bright and clean, which appeals to a broader audience
