  @gatorgar This can be humor, but objectively speaking there is no greeter betrayal than what meta did to local classifieds. You literally can't sell anything if you've got in trouble once for a post. I wish craigslist was still the main community resale site

  @collin_ruth89 Biggest difference maker for me has been the ability to process a higher volume of candidates with less effort: - Build a semi-automated applicant funnel in GHL or Breezy - Run continuous job posts on Indeed, Craigslist, Facebook Ads - Have my AI agent screen and evaluate all incoming applications - Have my AI agent conduct and evaluate the initial voice interview screen - Actually interview only the top applicants after the steps above This, especially the AI voice interview screen, has allowed us to interview 3X more people in a month, and identify more good candidates this way. I’m finally able to solve my capacity problem.

  @ausome_a @TraeyzX @Timberwolves I can imagine and with electronic flagging I bet it’s getting more difficult but that’s why you gotta switch between Ticketmaster, Gametime and StubHub and if you can sell privately and just transfer to another team email that usually helps keep the numbers down. I miss the days where you could go on craigslist, and a seller could just email you the tickets.

  A brother living near my house bought a used iPhone on Craigslist for $300 cash. It looked brand new. It was completely factory reset. A week later, his camera flash turned on by itself in his dark bedroom. He thought it was just a software glitch. But it was so much worse.

  Sell 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

  NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why nobody uses Craigslist anymore Craigslist once generated more than $1 billion a year in revenue with just 28 employees. To put that in perspective, that’s more revenue per employee than even Google at its peak. Its founder turned down billions of dollars in venture capital, refused to run advertising, and chose to serve as head of customer service rather than CEO. For years, that philosophy seemed brilliant. But just six years later, Craigslist had lost more than 70% of its revenue. This is the story of how one man’s unconventional principles and vision built an internet empire and how those same principles may have ultimately contributed to its decline. This is the rise and fall of Craigslist.

  @CoFoundersNik During Hurricane Harvey, ‘clean up crews’ descended on Houston and they stole everything not nailed down while ‘remediating’. Telling homeowners things had been destroyed by water. The glut of flat screen tvs, electronics, and high end furniture that were undamaged by water or that had minimal damage, that went on sale on Craigslist or FB marketplace or eBay It is a cottage industry of legit dirt bags

  @AllHailTzeentch @StefanMolyneux My car was broken into, my wallet and music gear was stolen, and listed on craigslist and the seller included his address (across the street from me), and I had two gas station videos of him using my credit card --- the cops said THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW UP.

  @NikkiKnoxxo @MsAnastasiaRose @WeAreTryst SESTAFOSTA is what happened with Eros and ******** and Craigslist personals. Once Eros evacuated from their US office the support became abysmal. And then they got rid of the categories like ****. Tryst blew up rapidly when Eros ditched the categories & they just couldn’t handle the volume especially with all of the online only profiles and bots inundating the site. I was extremely fortunate that the one issue I had with tryst I was able to resolve quickly but it had me terrified when my profile went offline there because I have been deplatformed by so many places it was the only site I had left. I’ve heard if you reach out on here you get quicker support but can’t confirm that personally

  @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.

  @OfficialVivek01 Here’s a cleaned-up version with your voice intact, but tighter and more defensible: I just read the rest. You are correct: BTC is widely traded now. But I grew up with it before this version existed. We used to trade Bitcoin through Craigslist, meet miners in parks, parking lots, wherever both sides agreed, and do the exchange like that. I quit trading in 2023. From 2008 to 2023, I never once heard of Michael Saylor being some master guru or “King of Bitcoin.” I barely heard his name at all in the circles I came from. Then last week I started paying attention. And once I did, patterns started firing off. Some of those patterns connected back to odd BTC behavior from around 2022–2023. I have rapid pattern recognition and a nonlinear mind. Some of that comes from early trauma. Some of it comes from combat trauma. When a pattern keeps hitting me, it does not leave me alone until I look at it. That is also why I was a scalp trader. Early crypto traders like me helped map the cycles everyone trades now. We watched this market grow from nothing. So I understand BTC very well. I can even build a blockchain. What I saw last week was odd. Brokers, TV financial analysts, and even BlackRock’s CEO are now openly talking about Bitcoin cycles like they discovered them. That is insane to me. Brokers used to get fired for even mentioning Bitcoin. They used to call us criminals for owning it. Now they act like they found it first. We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance drops hard toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where you fill bags. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax strategy, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not some random level. That was the deep structure layer. So now the question becomes fair: Was it just tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then BTC gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point Bitcoin may still be decentralized at the protocol layer, but the market layer becomes a farm. That is what I am watching. What moved before the wick Whale manipulation was never some secret to the old BTC traders. We all knew it was happening. We just learned the game, mapped the traps, and traded around the predators instead of pretending Bitcoin was some clean little free market.

  When I saw this log cabin for sale on Craigslist 5 years ago I thought it was a scam. I talked to the 80-year old owner on the phone & still thought it couldn’t be real & how elaborate this hoax was. Pulling down the long driveway, I still didn’t know if it would be real then there it was. Perfectly placed on the hill like something out of a fairytale. Everyone else interested in buying the property were going to tear it down. It couldn’t be saved they said. It took me the better part of 2 years but I saved it and in turned it saved me. It made me a believer again.

  @CajunCybertruck @28delayslater @SpringdaleRobo Shipping is the biggest issue as either Tim or my son will tell you. So find a seat out of a Tesla locally on marketplace or craigslist. The Amazon parts are $60-$80 to make it into a chair with wheels. My son‘s kit is $399 to electrify it. That will enable anything the seat originally had like heating, cooling, lumbar, etc. to be used all the time in the seat. We have a video showing how to install and it takes about an hour. The seat without power is cool. With all of the functions it’s magical. DM me for more info or clarity.

  20 Unhinged things to try, it gets more unhinged down the line: 1. Read Negative Reviews 2. The "Grandma" Test: Explain your industry to a 70-year-old. 3. Infiltrate Private FB Groups: Join groups for stressed-out professionals (nurses, lawyers, etc.). 4. Scroll Reddit "Help" Subs: Search "How do I" or "I hate it when" in niche subreddits. 5. Find projects that reached 100% funding but failed to deliver. 6. The "Boredom" Method: Sit in a room for 2 hours with no phone, no music, and no pen. Your brain will start hallucinating ideas just to escape the silence. 7. Look for tutorials with 1M+ views but terrible audio. Remake them with high quality and better SEO 8. Audit Your Bank Statement: Look at what you've paid for every month for 2 years. If you’re paying for it, thousands of others are too. Can you do it better/cheaper? 9. Sit in a high-end hotel lobby or airport lounge. Listen to what wealthy people complain about, their "rich people problems" pay the most. 10. Reverse Engineer Your DMs: What is the one thing people always ask you for advice on? 11. Scan Job Postings: Look for companies hiring 5+ people for one role. It means they have a problem. Build a software or agency that solves that specific bottleneck. 12. The "Argue" Method: Go on Twitter and post a slightly wrong take about a niche. The experts who come to correct you will give you all the high-level info you need for free. 13. Check Craigslist "Gigs": See what random, weird tasks people are desperate to outsource. If it’s recurring, it’s a business model. 14. The "Expired Domain" Hunt: Search for popular websites that died. They still have traffic and backlinks; you just need to put a new offer on the old "land." 15. Stalk "App Store" Search Trends: See what people are searching for but can't find. If there's no app for a high-volume search, you just found a gap you can fill. 16. The "Annoyance" Journal: For one week, write down every single thing that mildly irritates you. 17. Analyze Foreign Markets: Look at what’s blowing up in Brazil or China that hasn't hit your country yet. Be the one who imports the trend. 18. The "Refund" Inquiry: Call a big company’s customer service and ask what people most frequently ask for refunds on. 19. Search "Hacks" on TikTok: Find "life hacks" with millions of views. Most hacks are just manual versions of products that should exist. Build the product. 20. The "Delete Everything" Mental Model:If you lost your job and your house today, what’s the first thing you’d do to make $100? That’s your most viable business.
