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.

Diangelo (@Christo35983221) reported@nypost is someone trying to shut down Facebook marketplace or something? Maybe Ebay or Craigslist.
-
Tigerloose (@tigerloose1) reported@GrahamAllen How difficult will it be to track down the people that are selling the merchandise? Facebook, Craigslist, flea markets. Well it is not a law enforcement priority.

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.

Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@tpritha03 @vibeonX69 I just recently came across a deal on Craigslist: 128GB ECC-reg DDR3 and 8X 300GB SAS drives for $25. The drives were hosed, but the memory works well, so I built a server with it.
-
NaoNao (@NaoTheLocalViet) reported@rottenmahae ...is it bad that I can immediately tell that this is the terrible book about a girl who like, went on Craiglist and decided to rp a dog for a rich guy? The one with a stolen artwork for cover? The same book that one booktuber reviewed?
-
luke 🍉 (@transsexual1ty) reported@PluginHyBrad @PiratesnPirelli @Walksalot503 literally anyone who’s ever bought a car off of somewhere like facebook marketplace or craigslist can tell you it’s a terrible idea unless you’re prepared to rebuild the entire thing
-
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…

Asuka, the redheaded shitposter (@Bigfootpool) reported@Sundance88088 @Ravious101 The police would literally not care about theft of services because they would tell you it's a civil issue when to go to court file a lien against the home for unpaid work. Which is what you're supposed to do and if you aren't some third-rate hack working off of craigslist with no license you're going to have all the documentation needed to go to court show work was done to spec, literally have paperwork from start to finish, And that case is going to last all of 15 minutes. Or, you can destroy someone's property, likely not get paid anything and ended up having to pay to have it replaced, That's assuming you weren't arrested for felony vandalism which is a very real possibility.

State Sponsored Disinfo Bot (@6EQUJ542) reported@ichewthings I once adopted baby rats on Craigslist. I went inside the house. A cat came down the stairs and jumped on a chair. No less than a dozen rats then came down the stairs and jumped up after him and made a rat pile right on the cat. Cats are bros too.
-
Linda Hand (@JenniferX117) reported@ClownWorld Well what do you call online shopping? We have a problem in the world where people steal from large corporations & others to resell the items online through hosted and self hosted sites such as WhatsApp, poshmark, eBay, micari, X, instagram, Facebook marketplaces and Craigslist.

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
-
Cosmic Nuisance (@cosmicNuisane8) reported@0xInk_ That slop looks like Gypsy Danger from Craigslist, and the "transformation" is just parts awkwardly appearing out of thin air. These problems could be fixed if you didn't need a ******* clanker to do the hard work for you.

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.
-
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.

Robert Whitelaw,CRS - Realtor,Broker,Podcast Host (@rebelbroker) reportedLet me suggest that for any meeting like this where you are selling something to someone you do not know, you schedule the meeting at the local police station. Whether it is Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or any other site, always take some minimal precautions for your safety. I have done this myself and I usually will call the police ahead of time to let them know I am doing it, just so they know what is up. The added benefit is that when you tell them you want to meet at a police station, if it is a scam, they will likely back out and you save time and trouble.

WillismSNabokov (@WilliamSNabokov) reported@13B_SWAPPED @HankHil82749816 My buddies dad would keep buying him burner cars, these ones that run but with tons of issues from Craigslist for 500-1k every few months because we’d run them into the ground, crash, etc. an alcoholic repairman lived in their shed and illegally gave him inspection stickers
-
Scruffyy90 (@scruffyy90) reported@ShabazzStuart @nytimes This issue is of the MTA's own doing. Keys for rail yards and trains have been sold on craigslist, ebay, etc for as long as I could remember (still have the set for MTA and MNR i got ages ago). They had a team meant to keep an eye on these things and seemingly they slipped up

adam (@wightdeath) reported@bestinclassyt my friend was buying 3-4 a month off of craigslist to fix and resale for a profit

Probable Spam (@OrgoneDonor) reportedI miss the 1999 Toyota Corolla that I bought off Craigslist for $1500 (haggled down $300 bc two door handles were broken off) and drove for seven years then sold to a dealership who were angry that I wasted their time to assess and said they were surprised it made the drive over

Tom Smith (@tomwsmith) reported@0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.
-
Greg Koenig (@gak_pdx) reported@RossGoodfellow2 I have a 2k sq_ft shop, I keep it really ***** so she never comes down. She has no idea what goes on! (She saw it yesterday actually, and out of all my high-end crazy gear, she thinks the $5k mill I bought off Craigslist is actually the coolest)

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.

Bill 'Paw ''EngineSteveO'' Paw' Everydude (@DildoMalone420) reportedNothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****
-
kimmel (@arikimmel) reportedI wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

47fucb4r8curb4fc8f8r4bfic8r (@47fucb4r8c69323) reportedI want to share a story that makes me look stupid because it is a testament to just how much America is a land of opportunity. Back in 2011 or so I was looking to get out of academia and I saw a job posted on Craigslist. It was a startup that they described as a Groupon-like new business (Google it, Gen Zers). Anyway, I emailed, they got back in touch, we discussed, and it was clear to me that I was not right for the job (see reply below for why, it's actually important). That company was called Applovin, which is now worth $138 billion dollars. Idk what number employee I'd have been--I seem to remember them saying #10, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me. Anyway, this was a craigslist ad and, if I'd been more money motivated, more willing to fake it until I make it, or maybe more confident, oh how comically absurdly repulsively rich I would be. And I ended up having coffee with one of the founders a couple of years later. We discussed what we were up to, and he was not good at all at hiding the contempt, disgust, and pity he had for me now that I was working as a lowly analyst on Wall Street, although he was certainly polite the entire time. But ex-Goldman founder types, well, they can only think in status and specifically the kinds of status games that their narrow little world certifies as valid. The moral of the story is that America has so much ******* opportunities, man, there are so many ways to make money, there are so many small companies that will become massive, and if you are not cynical and have an open mind you will find so many ways to get filthy ******* rich as a result. The best part of this story is I turned down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (which, ironically, I've had several of), and I still ended up a multi-millionaire in my 40s with enough cash to never have to work again and able to just do what I want to do. That's how much opportunity there is in America--even the weird autist who turns down a huge opportunity still ends up wealthy. Try doing that in Germany. Or Japan. I ******* love being American man.
