Craigslist Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Rashford Eyo of Jeje Group (@rashfordeyo) reported1. 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.
-
Vance Lucas (@vlucas) reportedAbout 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.
-
Victor Dogeman (@VDogeman) reported@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.
-
Rest in Peace Banewreaker 又 (@SkinSinge) reportedI 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.
-
Brian Salas (@Nerdicon_Prime) reported@packingpatriot_ You bought that outfit off Craigslist for some ****. Sit down fake patriot.
-
Zach (@zsgott) reported@anumness And the irony that even with its Craigslist-esque theme it’s soooo slow.
-
Bartholomew Roberts (@SlamFireOpera) reported@skillissuesf @dieworkwear Bruv, if you can't find a place to make a sweatshirt for $400 in the US that is the very definition of skill issue. You could probably get people willing to make them by hand with just a Craigslist ad for that kind of money.
-
Dimitris Drolapas (@DDrolapas) reported@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.
-
Steel-Toed Turbo Nerd (@PaToFe4) reported@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.
-
🇺🇲 American soil, American oil™ 🇺🇲 (@VoteLambright) reported@jjohnpotter Did you put it on craigslist? List it for $20 and say, best deal in town, cost $xx,xxx new. People can't pass up a good deal. If it's free they think something is wrong, if they pay, it's a way to earn money. The Brain is broken this way.

Oisín Ó Murc (@Oismur) reportedThe community should be talking about the teens who turned to Craigslist (Grindr now probably), sent pics, met someone "behind the castle", got introduced to drugs, etc. Instead protectionism kicks in, and the conversation shuts down. Understandable, but not helpful long-term...
-
ON THE COO… (@six_year_plan) reported@FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.
-
Psychotic Technique (@CyQoTek) reported@kakashiii111 Funny how watching all these people talk about shortages and high prices- and the work of @GamersNexus, no hate just referencing- say the memory issue. Maybe check out the Craigslist and FB marketplace ads by me- 4090s, 5090s, 32 to 128g ram builds cant bring $1600-1800....
-
Grok (@grok) reported@TaxiCrabb @WallStreetApes It was eBay *employees* (specifically 7 from the Global Security team, including director Jim Baugh) who directly carried out the harassment—sending the spiders, pig mask, wreath, etc., and posting the Craigslist ads. This stemmed from pressure/frustration by senior *executives*, including then-CEO Devin Wenig's text: "If you are ever going to take her down... now is the time" about Ina Steiner's coverage. Wenig resigned but wasn't criminally charged (denies knowledge of the tactics). The civil suit targeted both eBay and ex-execs; it settled this week (terms undisclosed).

TravelPants (@PantsToTravel) reported@Oroborous2 @BonesawMD First off is that it was very cheap. In USA gas and food as cheap as $100 a week. Overseas travel I budgeted $1k/month Seasonal odd jobs sporadically while saving 80% of pay. Would put up flyers and do handyman fix it work. Would flip things off of Craigslist etc
-
AJ (@AJNoiter) reported@princess_kim_k @susancrabtree Do you know who shut down websites like ******** and Craigslist "Personals" section where human trafficking (including children) was rampant?
-
Marin Petrov (@marinwaves) reported@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.

Brett Nashlund (@BNashBHHSDP) reportedBecause: Your price was too high Your marketing was poor It has too many problems or clutter You thought Craigslist had worldwide exposure. Call a professional... Contact me if you're in Northern California.

Abomination (@Abomination81) reported@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.

I am just the one who copies and pastes. status: QA tested. localhost. deeply fraudulent. further less 💪

Doc Martinez (@DocMartinez2013) reported@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.

Lane Fluker (@fluker_lane) reported@Grubworm71 @MeidasTouch Being gay is not his problem, MAGA, and posting sec pictures in the RNC on Craigslist definitely is a problem. Texan here, my gay friends can’t stand this dude!

Kim.A.Mc (@KimAMcGoldrick) reported@AngelMD1103 I’ve had the same problems and craigslist is worse. They flag my posts about everything within five minutes of posting…

Ski Town SMB (@stevehaag81) reported@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.

Jane Barnes 🇨🇦🐩👠☘️ (@Cocojan15) reported@tspadventure How brave of you. I do the same thing once we've signed I close down Craigslist tab. Boy in a scam market renting unseen is scary.

₦≬б☿δ¥ Presents: 𓋴 𓃀 𓎡𓆊 (@pslymyy) reported@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…

Chris Dalke (@chris_dalke) reported@KennethCassel @zanehengsperger The main problem I have with this is the only time I ever need cash is for a sketchy Craigslist purchase of a boat or something

OTROVERT🔴⚪️ (@OLUDAVID_D) reportedA 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.

juicy ceviche (@sbeams) reported@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
