-
Tax Donkey (@JohnnyEwing8888) reported@crusadepepe Craigslist. Get something at least 20 years old. Whatever the problem is, you can fix it yourself.

Grok (@grok) reported@shravanrayhaan @lostonearth80 @SiliconSalvage No, the market wasn't wrong about newspapers in 2001-2007. Broadband and sites like Craigslist/Google crushed classified/print ad revenue (down ~30%+ for firms), circulation fell sharply, and stocks like Gannett/Tribune lost 80-95% by 2009 as the old model broke. The thesis that digital would obsolete the category was spot on—unlike many SaaS moats today.

if they go low, i go lowER (@Lunasreign_) reported@schrdngr_catboy @TLCplMax Yes lmao, why would someone who is “targeting” animals go through the trouble of an adoption process. They can just go to Craigslist

Miles of Entertainment (@MOEatMiles) reported@250_Revolution @gameshowhost6 They were hunting down people who sold stuff at yard sales or on Craigslist.

D K (@kln_nurv) reported@skylermzx Hm. Arcade closing down? Craigslist/Gumtree? CIAbook marketplace?
-
🇦🇶 🔞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.

Daeron Myers (@IAMDAERONMYERS) reported"I need a box truck to make real money." Nah. I started in a car after my 9-to-5. Saved $2,200 in courier work. Bought a cargo van off Craigslist. Then a box truck. Your vehicle is not the problem.
-
Cori Arnold (@iamcoriarnold) reported6. I sold stuff. I got rid of a lot of stuff. With Craigslist, Marketplace, eBay, and many other ways to sell things today, you can bring in decent dollars for your stuff to pay down the debt faster.
-
Mayor Cam (@Cameron54079333) reported@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.
-
Noticing Goy (@Noticing_Goy) reported@missenterry1 @poojeetstreet I used to refurbish electronics and build computer systems to sell on Craiglist. Hundreds of sales. I simply didn't sell to them. Chinese as well. They aren't much better. If the voice on the phone was broken English, I hung up and blocked.
-
Brigadier Ketchup 🦨 (@Random_Walk_PDX) reported@GuyDealership If you need a 7 year note to finance a car, you're in way over your head. If your down payment isn't at least 1/3 the purchase price, look for something used and/or cheaper... or hit Craigslist. This is just basic financial literacy.

MrPP (@realMrPP) reported@yoxics I got in trouble for asking for a male roommate on craigslist, that's how serious they take discrimination laws.
-
tobyb (@tobysomeoneb) reported@gotrice2024 Stick something over it with fridge magnets for new and watch Craigslist etc for a broken one up for sale that you could swap the door out
-
Stover (@StoverLoves) reported@AntonioAdkins17 I just did this. Everything g worked for about a week until facebooks “AI” invented another fake reason to shut down my account Facebook no longer works. People need to start using Craigslist again.

Possum Patriot🌸🍳 (@PossumPatriot) reported@sarahlol1863603 @Howlingmutant0 This reminds me there used to be these craigslist ads in an area I used to live of some old geezer looking for someone to "come find me in my house already lubed up presenting my ***" etc etc. Then they took down craigslist personals.

Brian Salas (@Nerdicon_Prime) reported@packingpatriot_ You bought that outfit off Craigslist for some ****. Sit down fake patriot.
-
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..??

dbetty (@ddbetty) reported@7Veritas4 @WallStreetApes My investments are making money. Craigslist sales are down. Snapshot of the real economy. Got some money, you are okay. Struggling? Not so okay.

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.

Nobody (@Nobody2018) reported@0xSwampy Wait until you try to sell something on FB Marketplace or Craigslist. The most annoying buyers are Indians, hands down. You will be amazed by the pattern of experience.

SUSE (@yourlivelyhive) reported@reneerapp @craigslist It was 2017, I had just come back from LA, as what I thought then would be my only Hail Mary in life (sheesh), 8 months before I was in a hospital in Carrol Gardens, Brooklyn being told I had broken my back and would be moving home to VA. I needed an outlet so

Buckie58 (@Buckie5886) reported> attempt to sell an old bar car I've had sitting around on Craigslist > get a few offers, all fall through > "motivated buyer" contacts me wanting to buy immediately > red flags go off naturally > Talk to a "DaQuarius Xxxxx" via text and phone call > keeps wanting address > tell him a parking lot > "no worries! I'll come to you!" > tell him no and have a good day > yesterday find MY car I'm selling for sale on Facebook marketplace > they won't take his post down > look online to find out who to contact with the police > website says to go into the station and give an in person report > go to the police station > "sorry sir, you have to file these sort of reports online" > show the fat lady the police website saying to come in person for situations such as mine > her brain explodes and she gets flustered and tells me to fill out a completely unrelated online form and someone should get back to me within a few weeks I'm so ******* sick and tired of criminals AND police just doing whatever to **** they want while regular Joe 2-Tallboy gets their **** packed in then stolen by criminals then their moneyforcibly taken from the government under threat of force.

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

The Artist Formerly Known (@aresteanu) reported@DeivonDrago I've legit considered putting up craigslist ads for ghostbuster services. I show up to the "haunted" house and just explain ghosts ain't real and demand my hard-earned pay. Then I realised this is a funny metaphor for dispelling the mystery of the Hard Problem.

𝙴.𝙱. (@hermesxvii) reportedAirbnb's first growth hack was illegal. In 2010, they built a tool that auto-posted Airbnb listings directly to Craigslist. - Craigslist had the traffic. - Airbnb had the product. Airbnb didn't wait to be discovered. Instead they became a parasite on one of the biggest websites on the internet. By the time Craigslist shut it down, Airbnb had already stolen a million users. Growth hacking is just knowing whose audience to steal before they notice.
