    Trying my luck for a third time w this craigslist movie shirt guy. I think I got him down to $325 a few months ago and his ****'s been sitting. I max at $300!!

  • TerkWolf Terk Wolf (@TerkWolf) reported

    @Thumperbun I still use Craigslist and never had a problem before. Maybe I'm lucky but I'm also very communicative, repeat instructions and agreements often.

  • CheeseAndGlory Jenn Barnes (@CheeseAndGlory) reported

    The Oven That Would Let Us Die is now in the garage, waiting for a thorough cleaning and photos for a Craigslist ad. Its replacement, a decent GE, has successfully made breakfast, and explicitly states in the manual how to light it during a power outage.

  • Rey902 A. Rey (@Rey902) reported

    @kaceymontoya Dog thefts are on the rise because pet sales are on the rise due to Covid. Criminals taking advantage of opportunity, This dog will probably turn up on Craigslist for sale. This has become a huge issue in the UK as well.

  • jon jonw.com (@jon) reported

    I’m having real trouble finding an electrician in Saint Louis. Tried all the obvious stuff (google, Craigslist, asking friends). If you know someone pls DM?

  • farmerjim13 Jim (@farmerjim13) reported

    @FoulkShay The later ones like you have are great I think. The early 2000s had head gasket issues from poor block design, and they're a dime a dozen on craigslist. Toyotas here for life.

  • lovellylester yana🪐little witchy ******* ! (@lovellylester) reported

    @NlKlCHU YEAH SOMEONE PUT IT UP ON CRAIGSLIST A FEW DAYS AGO AND WE GOT IT TAKEN DOWN BUT THEY PUT IT UP ON FACEBOOK NOW......

  • technerdteitzel Chris Teitzel (@technerdteitzel) reported

    @MarcoSuarez @mattecook @chrismerritt I normally post mine on Craigslist, provide enough good pics and don’t waste time on people window shopping. Haven’t had an issue yet

  • ThisAgain2992 jake (@ThisAgain2992) reported

    @dirtsquirrel2 i used to have a 1 1/2 hp baileigh industrial one i found on craigslist (like a couple hundred bucks but took some work to get it running well) but it was multi axis on a stand and had a few different radii. it was super solid and i never had problems with it

  • jallenmorgs Justin Allen Morgan (@jallenmorgs) reported from Atlanta, Georgia

    @haydensandiego I had a guy post nudes of me and my number on Craigslist once. He was demented and I started getting all these nasty pics and texts at my uncle's funeral off all times... Couldn't even grieve because I was getting them taken down.

  • pressyice Gilgamesh (@pressyice) reported

    Have cut my Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist time down to 3 hours a day. I don’t even need anything, I just like to see what other people are selling.

  • TomhasHuhnke tomhas (@TomhasHuhnke) reported

    i can't stand finding places to rent. it's soo awful- Zillow is terrible, Craiglist is just slightly better, and everything else is already owned by zillow lmao i just want to find a house that isn't falsely listed as a "basement unit" or "triplex" like.. verify your posts damn

  • mazihe Ihe Onwuka (@mazihe) reported

    So I typed in platform lift into craigslist looking for someone to fix a wheelchair lift and it returned me two listing looking for full stack software engineers.

  • JamesNemec James Nemec (@JamesNemec) reported

    I'd be a terrible Jedi. Yoda "Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering." Me "What? I just asked if you wanted to go halfsies on a pizza. Jeez, last time I find a roommate on Craigslist." Yoda "That is why you fail."

  • bungaloboi ʙᴀʟᴅᴡɪɴ ɪᴠ (@bungaloboi) reported

    @MissingMichiga1 @shannonrwatts again, i dont have problems with those because craigslist actually has legal obligations to identify the buyers, so if the gun is sold to a person barred from having it it will be confiscated.

  • Childsouljaboy jon (@Childsouljaboy) reported

    Idk how familiar some of you are with the section of Craigslist that’s got pets up for adoption but I love when it’s an ad for a monkey in broken English that’s obviously a scam and you need to give them your credit card information

  • smiteri Eric S. Smith (@smiteri) reported

    Craigslist: [continues to exist] Torstar: Stupid romance novels, dragging us down! People in 2021: [happily pay for genre fiction, will only read news for free]

  • Anarcho_Cyclist anarcho-deontologist (@Anarcho_Cyclist) reported

    @imgooley01 @IwriteOK @TatianaTMac And a lot of people can only afford the $600 junk pile from craigslist, which eventually breaks down and is abandoned (because you can't afford the tow) which then gets impounded and you get chased by creditors for years because there is zero chance you can pay the impound fees.

  • ikarufox Raspberry Fox (@ikarufox) reported

    Meeting someone to buy a pc off Craigslist that I don’t need. But it’s such a good deal I can’t turn it down..

  • CommonSenseGuy4 Arthur Vandalay (@CommonSenseGuy4) reported

    @rohamg Limit rare packs to actual users, not new “users” who sell on eBay/Craigslist. This was an unforced error and should never happen again.

  • Cammiluna Cammi 💚 (@Cammiluna) reported

    @GalaxinaPeachy Everytime NYC makes regulations, the landlords instantly find ways to cheat the system. Last year, broker fees became illegal, so craigslist postings were just taken down and reposted with higher rents. They are scum.

  • KingEric2021 Ma$ter Eric (@KingEric2021) reported

    WILL BE BLOCKING ANY RECENT TWITTER JOINS AS I KNOW WHO YOU ARE LOL YOUR DONE CUT OFF GET GONE befor i have an issue to personally address with you stalking as ***** JIM @KingEric2021 ******* worthless subs who never took it seriouse GONE! YOU TWO old locals CRAIGSLIST BYE!

  • damomoo John Laxa (@damomoo) reported

    @Cappers54 @_denisesalcedo Drove down on a whim and checked on Craigslist for tickets and paid $150 each for 2 tix upper deck, center ring. Totally worth it...

  • Brizzleboybill Brizzle Bill (@Brizzleboybill) reported

    That guy from Hot Girls Wanted was one of the creepiest people in the world “Yeah I lure 18 year olds girls off Craigslist away from home to do progressively more hardcore porn before sending em home broken and penniless, it’s pretty tight”

  • LurkAtHomeMom Lurkin' Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) reported

    If you ever start regaining faith in humanity one thing you can try is to interact with someone from Craigslist, that should fix the issue.

  • dutchman59 Ray Middleton (@dutchman59) reported

    @cyclingtips I feel sure all wheel manufactures have this same issue. China wheels knock off's. The problem is how does the consumer tell these are not OEM wheels. Look on eBay, craigslist and you will find but can not tell real from fake.

  • gfejunkie gfejunkie (@gfejunkie) reported

    @AriaSwitch Not sure exactly what happened in the end. Seems that some websites are still alive and well like tryst and Eros. P411 never went away. Maybe the Feds realized this is unenforceable, though ******** and Craigslist personals were shut down. TER used to dominate the industry...

  • fixumdude fixumdude (@fixumdude) reported

    @dddpworld @monoprice That was a good idea. I've actually bought a couple MPMS V1s off Craigslist to try and get friends into printing. I did a bunch of upgrades on one and sold it cheap to a friend. Both printers had the bed thermistor issue. Still need to fix the other.

  • ROADDEATHNHRA **** MAN (@ROADDEATHNHRA) reported

    @carenkarpenter I’ve sold video games and systems on craigslist before never used facebook found buyers right away and had no issue if you are worried about safety most police stations have areas to sell things from online outside of them with cameras

  • TheSmartCat42 TheSmartCat (@TheSmartCat42) reported

    @MalwareJake Last time I tried to sell something it was a washer dryer set for an ex I attempted to sell on Craigslist. I got so many fake offers and creeps that I took down the ad.
