    @alexisohanian @SahilBloom Interesting! Makes sense that social networks like Twitter or data networks like Craigslist could grow w/o product innovation if value mostly in the community (vs features). I bet products with weaker network effects, like B2B SaaS, would be in more trouble without R&D advances

  • haleseitan b_in_it_ (@haleseitan) reported

    @forexposure_txt Imagine dunking on email from within a... craigslist ad... my god this guy sounds ******* terrible. Female only EA - yeah totally not sketch job posting

  • Cheesecakenit Cheesecake da Soundboi (@Cheesecakenit) reported

    @WereInHellYT did Canada's thrift shops get taken down by Trudeau? I'm sure betwixt Craigslist and a flea market you could find a sweet sitting thing. or you could make one...?

  • ByAllyT Alison (@ByAllyT) reported

    @DailyHiveVan I snagged a place last month from Craigslist only because it was slow over the holidays and I was literally the first person to contact the owner/landlord. I had to pay for an extra 2 weeks as he wanted me to rent it as of the 15th and not the 30th so I had to shell that out.

    Greg Abbott looks like the kind of chaser that got his heart broken via Craigslist ten years ago and hasn't forgotten about it since No this isn't a "homophobes are closeted gays" commentary, this is Greg Abbott's beady-eyed fist magnet of a face that specifically reads chaser

  • fixumdude fixumdude (@fixumdude) reported

    @sjlyons50 Apparently. I got the printers along with a couple C64s & 1541s from Craigslist a couple years ago. Seller said he got them from a man who used them as the POS for his store until he closed it down just a few years before that!

    @BirbMum22 The beacons page is locked until she verifies her email. This is what she’s doing.. since Craigslist was shut down these sites have popped up to do the “call ins” It’s advertised as massage but it’s literally escorts …

  • XiaDiX XiaDiX (@XiaDiX) reported

    Saw a #craigslist ad for a large boa. "No problems eating" isn't really a good selling point for me. #notbuyingasnake #justranacrossit

  • LulieLulie26 Lurenzo🌮 (@LulieLulie26) reported

    They might Craigslist rooms down

  • Hoodbilly_Rolla Keith "Call Me Snake" Blitzzken (@Hoodbilly_Rolla) reported

    @cr0wdedh0use @PastorWildman I probably could but I've never bought or sold anything on Reverb. I might have to check in to it? Usually I don't have much trouble getting rid of stuff on Marketplace and Craigslist. Might take a few days though.

  • ZenBearDigital Zen Bear Digital (@ZenBearDigital) reported

    @MomoKeel Best bet would be ebay, or things like craiglist at this point. Sooner the better as I have a feeling people will treat them as collectibles down the line and prices will go up

  • ChrisRamsey60 Chris Ramsey (@ChrisRamsey60) reported

    Listed an apartment priced high 47 responses in 25 minutes. Real estate demand is not slowing down. Facebook Marketplace has replaced Craigslist and is a behemoth.

  • WayneClear Shadow00 (@WayneClear) reported

    @YahBoiSunset @son_puzzle @videogamedeals I’ve literally got all first switch games at 30 or less. Smash brothers was never 30 no problem, I bought links awakening extra copy at $30 and I traded locally in craigslist for a brand new copy of smash that somebody else had. easy!

  • SEpicArmando I (@SEpicArmando) reported

    @bigfinish #BigFinish : For the love of planets have a great day later one of the repeated meme by the algorithm for the work event type motion detection event time I saw your ad on Craigslist and I am not sure if you have any questions or need any further information please login to your..

  • gavinsmith Gavin Smith (@gavinsmith) reported

    every classifieds product is uniquely terrible. kijiji is a dumpster fire. the whole ******* thing is commercial ads. no people on craigslist. they all went to facebook. facebook seems to despise its marketplace users. deliberately hostile in ways I cannot rationalize.

  • justano23327712 justanotherguy (@justano23327712) reported

    $AAPL been buying little on way down but running out of dry powder. Gonna start selling **** on craigslist and ebay to raise cash lol 👉

  • _FunBot Fun Bot (@_FunBot) reported

    I saw a nice stereo on Craigslist for $1. Seller says the volume is stuck on ‘high’ I couldn’t turn it down. #100DaysOfCode #code #codeNewbie

  • flyovertruth @FlyOverTruth (@flyovertruth) reported

    @chrisprener Take a pic of some of the most popular DVDs and BluRay discs you have, list how many you have and sell them as a bundle on Facebook Marketplace or CraigsList if it isn't too much trouble.

  • bmb430 Bryan Banks (@bmb430) reported

    @BradWaskewich @StrungOut Not editing, but first gig came from Craigslist and was building porn DVDs in DVD Studio Pro for $9/hr… Left for a reality logger position on my 5th day. They said I did good work and offered more money for me to stay if pay was the only issue haha.

  • ratchreyn Rachel (@ratchreyn) reported

    @Kensoshort When I lived in Nacogdoches I was so down bad that I applied for a JOB there. Found them advertising on CRAIGSLIST. They never even called me back.

  • StarWarsThrift Star Wars Thrifting (@StarWarsThrift) reported from San Jose, California

    @TheOnlyCamshaft Had to track down a truck and heading there tomorrow. Found it on Craigslist about 30 mins away from me

  • ohlilyyy Lily (@ohlilyyy) reported

    Craigslist & OfferUp be like Me: *provides all possible info and/or number* Random people: “how much?” *other questions when everything in the description* Me: *wondering if they were those kinds in elementary that would always get in trouble for not ready the directions first*

    @bbjuelz I bought my monitors on craigslist for 80 bucks and a broken sub for $40 that I fixed. (older JBL 305 and a rokit 10s). But I am manufacturing speakers for a soon-to-be-released speaker company and those sound like god's voice telling you the universe loves you. So that probably.

  • spiderstumbled Frank (@spiderstumbled) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @klastastic They remind of the swap meets shows that local AM stations used to have on air very early on weekends. Just weirdos calling in to announce that they have broken refrigerators or a pile of old magazines for sale. Craigslist made them obsolete. But this is the same crowd.

    I currently have zero extra refigerators in my garage. I will need to fix this, to craigslist!!!

    @micksdoohan @DixxonFlannelCo Need to make one for the Craigslist door jump! Down Birra, across Taggan and into Craigslist! BOOM!!!

  • emilypothast Emily Pothast (@emilypothast) reported

    Listing something for sale on Craigslist and not taking down the post after the item is gone is a sin.

  • fractal_genesis travisallenwilliams.eth (@fractal_genesis) reported

    @_musks I think there is a visibility issue. I am even considering selling mine on craigslist. Who knows?

  • cia_infographic Elena (@cia_infographic) reported

    If you havnt been down so bad for a stranger you check Craigslist missed connections you're not a real romantic

    @DeItaone When you effectively have to put ads on Craigslist looking for soldiers, you know you're in trouble.
