    Bot: I saw a nice stereo on Craigslist for $1. Seller says the volume is stuck on ‘high’ Bot: I couldn’t turn it down.

  • PanthersGus Gustavo  (@PanthersGus) reported

    How do you guys feel about buying vehicles from Craigslist posts? I think lots of personal vehicles are on there, but I also worry about those that fix cars just enough to sell them on there. 🥴

  • wreckersphoenix Phoenix/Ally⁹⁹ 🏤 (@wreckersphoenix) reported

    @saviin_jen Ahhhhh i see, thankyou yeah we dont have it down here and I thought it was like ebay but then the show im watching mentions getting a roomate from craiglist and i was like??

  • TawnyAmberYoung Tawny Amber Young (@TawnyAmberYoung) reported

    @DemocracyReign1 @stillgray this delusion could go down a darker path. What happens when this ends? Fake baby or carving one out of an unknowing pregnant woman that thinks she’s buying a crib from Craigslist.

  • uv_searching Allen DeWitt (@uv_searching) reported

    @KalDravenGaming @FiercePC Then double good luck, friend! Craigslist might have "free if you pick it up" type of stuff? Be well!!! (also, a light distro of linux might help with the crashing issue)

  • justseeby Seeby Thee Scallion (@justseeby) reported

    @NancyOganezov @ryannoyance @iFixit last year my son dropped my mbp and destroyed the screen… getting a used macbook on craigslist was cheaper than just the screen fix from a repair place. using those guides I took both laptops completely apart and swapped the good screen over 😳🥲 blew my own mind lmao

  • ReallyDantheman DanOnTheMoon (@ReallyDantheman) reported

    @nate2trey When I was in the car business I'd sell 1 a month calling people on Craigslist selling they car or looking for a trade when **** got slow

  • saviin_jen Jen 🍒 (@saviin_jen) reported

    @wreckersphoenix They discouraged women from using it for a while because there was an actual Craigslist Killer. They did find him and arrest him. The problem is you meet people in person, pay with cash (no paypal or credit card links), and there's no legal oversight for the webpage. A mess.

  • monsieurlefew Commander Tucotay, MD (@monsieurlefew) reported

    Solanart down again? That’s ok… I’ll just list my #solana NFTs on Craigslist. At least their site works.

  • thejsantiago_ Jordan Santiago 👑 (@thejsantiago_) reported

    If you want to connect with some fix and flippers and other wholesalers in your area or a specific area … 1. Go to Google 2. Type in “Real Estate Wanted (Your City) Craigslist” Now click on usually the first link and see a bunch of ads from wholesalers and cash buyers

  • skoopsro Skoopsro (@skoopsro) reported

    @watchtimmyjoe Bummer. @watchtimmyjoe roasts random newb plebs on the interwebs is/are needed now more than ever. I loved sending submissions for terrible Craigslist and Facebook ads. And lord knows they're out of control now.

  • w_s_crypto Wicked Smart Crypto ∞/21M 🍎🍊💊 (@w_s_crypto) reported

    @Bitcoin_Vegan @Apple Brings back memories. I used to buy these broken on Craigslist, fix them, and then flip them on eBay when I was in HS. Good times.

  • patrick_gallant Patrick Gallant (@patrick_gallant) reported

    What I found was that most people's ads on Craigslist really sucked. I set out on a mission to fix them.

  • jsn_hwrd Jason tweet thread became a movie Howard (@jsn_hwrd) reported

    the amount of times I have considered following up on a craigslist add for an espresso machine I have no room for is proof that I am broken

  • axrb9 AXRB❣️ (@axrb9) reported

    staying with a creepy man she found off craigslist. Granted, all those friendships went sour and I was met with resentment down the line, but I'd rather that than have their LIFE taken away. I can't imagine being friends with Toyin and not making sure she had a place to stay

  • tar_xvzf this guy fawkes (@tar_xvzf) reported

    @neo_antiquarian @BreeNewsome It’ll turn into a self-own. They all go run down to the courthouse, kick the tenants out, spend 1-30 days rehabbing their units, put up a sign and a Craigslist ad…to discover 100s of other greedy landlords did the same. Every week or 2 they will all have to lower the rent 10%.

  • EthanBBowen1 Ethan Bowen (@EthanBBowen1) reported

    @CEOofHistory @GavinNewsom You're framing the problem more simply than it is. You're failing to consider several imoactfil things particularly time, and availability. When you sell something on Craigslist, would prefer cash or a promissory note from a third party that will pay you a week later?

  • NickMacari13 Nick Mac (@NickMacari13) reported

    @ThatUmbrella Check craigslist, honey bee dudes remove hives for free. Honey bees are cool. If it was a wasps nest I throw a few bricks down the chimney and convince them to flew away.

  • brandonRohwer Brandon Rohwer (@brandonRohwer) reported

    @justinaclin When I did a similar thing a few years back, I pulled out all of the issues I keep would be notable to sell separately and sold the rest as one big "you have to come get these boxes out of my apartment" lot on Craigslist

  • MceachronHoward Howard McEachron (@MceachronHoward) reported

    @OnlyFans Why don’t you be transparent. You say you have received a temporary exemption/annotation/ etc. to your policy. How much of this being driven by the same laws that shut down tumblr and Craigslist.

  • romellocc Romello (@romellocc) reported

    Craigslist needs to be shut down. The whole sites a scam!

  • axelsusanto_ Axel (@axelsusanto_) reported

    @S0UTHBABE craiglist is there to solve your problems

  • lovetoday21 Lovetoday21 (@lovetoday21) reported

    Almost bought a used phone off swappa today... and then remembered that time in 2014 I bought a shitsu puppy off craigslist to learn at the vet it was a 6 week old malamute dinosaur. I have trust issues lol #straightshooters

  • Machinistwife Sami Dippner (@Machinistwife) reported

    Trying to hustle a man on Craigslist to trade me a wiener puppy for ****. Fingers crossed he’s down for it lol

  • translateslowly Kyle Grannan (@translateslowly) reported

    @VickerySec I buy and sell guitars and amps through FB Marketplace and though it has its problems it beats Craigslist and ebay by miles.. It's all I ever do over there anymore

  • furniturefellow Danny Gee (@furniturefellow) reported

    @kinkynorfolk @SardaxS I kind of feel the same about Craigslist (and other similar sites) closing down personal ads. And kink-specific ones like Informed Consent or CollarMe. There was definitely a thrill to the unknown!

  • jessamyn Jessamyn! MLib. (@jessamyn) reported

    @john_overholt 📚Weeding is labor-intensive, and pretty low-return-on-investment compared to other patron-facing work and yet still should be done by skilled professionals. 📚If you have ever tried to give things away for free on Craigslist, you may understand just some of the issues here.

  • jessamyn Jessamyn! MLib. (@jessamyn) reported

    @john_overholt The Craigslist issues - ppl say they're coming for thing & are late - ppl say they're coming for thing, they do not - ppl come for the thing, also hit on you - ppl come for things, take only some of the things - ppl come for the things insult the things, do not take the things 🙄

  • rlboinski Robert Boinski (@rlboinski) reported

    @dpeinsipp @ggreenwald This is true and why 230 will go. It was meant to protect those lacking resources to police every comment on their server Craigslist when it was Craig, GG’s blog comments. It wasn’t meant to protect those that can afford to censor but choose to do so descriminately.

  • ThatYidDaniel ⚡Daniel Karp⚡ 🇮🇱 ✡️ 🇺🇸 💎👐💎 🚀🚀🚀 (@ThatYidDaniel) reported

    @Wealth_Theory Not sure, ended up spending $900 on Craigslist for an upper muscle body suit. Looked extremely realistic and made from silicone. Told nurse to let me wipe down and hold the deltoid spot out for her. She gave me the shot, didn't penetrate my real skin and I got the vax pass.
