  @HappyMotorhead I remember seeing those Supra's everywhere on Craigslist for around $1,500 in running condition. Albeit it was around 20 years ago, lol.. Look up what they cost now.. I would still take the Chevelle, But I would NOT turn down the Supra if given the chance.

  @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.

  Last time a newspaper classified ad was of use to me was in 2007, when an ad in a physical copy of the Tacoma Tribune got me a new apartment. After that, Craigslist online was the go to, especially in emergency situations. Too bad they had to shut down the horny part of the site.

  @mattyglesias Another big issue is the death of local reporting. Local newspapers were decimated first by Craigslist, and then finished off by Facebook. I'm on a couple local councils and the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no good way to keep people informed anymore.

  @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.

  I full on never bought another Xbox console after my RROD. I stayed with PlayStation. It was such a common issue there was people on Craigslist offering to buy broken ones and trying to refurb them.

  @SlumRNA_Dog VB Knives: “Can’t believe anyone would have a problem with this. Some real losers on this site. Making White kids sell peepee rugs to random violent nonwhites on Craigslist is a great way to build character and save up for code school.”

  PRAIRIEVILLE, LA MAN ARRESTED AFTER TRYING TO TRADE HIS WIFE FOR A USED BOAT, $400 CASH AND A BAG OF FROZEN CATFISH GONZALES, LA — Because apparently Craigslist was down, a 54-year-old man from Prairieville, LA wandered into a Bass Pro Shop yesterday morning and attempted to negotiate what he confidently described as a 'reasonable trade.' The store associate stated the man wanted to trade his wife of 23 years for a slightly questionable 14-foot aluminum fishing boat and $400 cash. Authorities say Rodney Thibodeau approached the boat counter at exactly, pointed at a boat priced at $4,200, and asked, 'What would it take to walk outta here with that one?' When the associate gave him the price, Ronnie countered with a package deal that included: His wife, Denise. $400 cash, and a bag of frozen catfish. Bold strategy. Shockingly, the employee did not immediately ring it up. Rodney then presented a printed document titled 'WIFE-FOR-BOAT TRANSFER AGREEMENT' (yes, in all caps, to ensure the legality of the contract). Highlights from the document include: A 3-day return policy. A notarization by his cousin who authorities stated is absolutely not a notary. A 'best features' section listing 'doesn’t snore very often, able to clean a bass & can siphon gas from a truck.' An 'as-is condition disclosure,' because he wanted to 'keep things honest.' Meanwhile, Denise was sitting in the truck outside, completely unaware she had been bundled into a clearance deal next to a boat with a hole in the hull. The Bass Pro employee did what any reasonable human would do: pretended to 'check with a manager' and immediately called law enforcement. When deputies arrived, things only got better: Denise reportedly responded with a deeply philosophical, 'Where the hell is he', followed by 'I'm going to kill him' Rodney insisted the trade was 'fair market value as the boat, again, did have a hole in it.' Both were taken into custody. Rodney for attempting to sell a human being and Denise for threatening ****** injury against Rodney and 7 other Bass Pro Shop associates. Denise has since filed for divorce, citing what legal experts are now calling 'the boat thing.' When asked for comment, Rodney stood by his decision, stating, 'Look man, it came with a trolling motor mount.' Denise, however, offered a slightly different perspective: 'I have a job. I have a home. I did not sign up to be traded like a dented canoe.' I have to believe there's a lesson somewhere in there, but I've not been able to suspend my disbelief long enough to figure out what it might be.

  @andrewchen craigslist worked because newspapers were already dying from their own economics. AI replacing jobs is different than AI undercutting a broken business model that refused to adapt.

  Who in the world owns Craigslist? I just heard that Tesla had bought it out, is that true? We listed Belgian Mallinois puppies on there for sale and they keep taking the ad down, saying “some posters objected to my ads”. There are some petty, immature jackasses out there including Craigslist! That’s my rant for the week!

  @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.

  if you really study zuck you’d realise that zuck’s superpower was never seeing the future. it was reacting to the present faster than anyone else. stories from snapchat, reels from tiktok, marketplace from craigslist, ai from openai. every single win was a fast copy executed at a scale nobody could match. the metaverse was the first time he tried to lead instead of follow. $80 billion later he’s shutting it down & going back to doing what he’s always done - chasing whoever’s winning right now. which at the moment is ai.

  @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.

  @swanlake322562 @DAKKADAKKA1 bought cars consoles furniture and tvs on craigslist no problem, just gotta use common sense if a price is too good to be true there's a reason..Also the structure of the ad is very telling. If the person can barely put together a proper sentence stay away

  I 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.

  @desert_starr_57 It's the same with Offerup, Letgo, and craigslist. Though despite the same issues, I did get decent results from Letgo up until Offerup bought them out and tanked the platform I stated right in my posts "Stupid Questions and lowball offers will be ignored and users blocked."

  Let 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.
