-
Joseph (@SirSenolytic) reported@sciencegirl She gonna have the feds at her door with cuffs. ****** retard doesn’t understand the law that shut Craigslist down holds site owners responsible for tutes on their site…
-
george (@idobadtakes) reported@cSchaez I think the issue is that my car genuinely does run fine, but if you look at all the listings around it on autotrader / craigslist a lot of them are actual scams or don't work. So people just understandably avoid the whole category
-
Jojo's Bizarre Vent Oreo #ringtwt (@Jojosbizarreven) reporteda recent desire of mine is getting a huge *** desk one would see in a cartoonishly evil ceo's office in kids movies. the issue is that these desks are wooden and big which means they are expensive as **** unless i go trawling through craigslist and luck out on a free one.

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.

Nathan Newman | Web developer (@dev_Doniix) reportedDAY 8 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (the Craigslist pizza guy is asking for updates) told the pizza client the site is "in final QA testing" QA testing means I clicked the button once and it worked so I stopped sent him a screenshot of my localhost:8080 he asked what localhost means I told him it's a private developer preview link he said "wow professional" I am a fraud 2 hours of pretending to know what PHP sessions are 1 hour of actual learning what PHP sessions are I now know what PHP sessions are I immediately used them wrong and broke the login page ChatGPT fixed it ChatGPT is my real senior developer. I am just the one who copies and pastes. status: QA tested. localhost. deeply fraudulent. further less 💪

ohenry (@OHENRY2264) reportedIt should’ve been coming down the Gold escalator, calling Mexicans rapists and people sending their worst. And also, people should not have fallen for T-shirts printed up ahead of time with craigslist offers to pay then to cheer for him. THAT is why dumb people get into a cult
-
SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES (@WorkerUnit1) reported@HostageDiY @MrLeadslinger "Back in my day I walked 8 miles to school each way through broken glass and totally didnt live in an 🇺🇸 where even a **** could earn enough $$ to buy a home & 2 cars off manual labor jobs" What a fuking 🤡 If you have kids they hate you for making them sell rugs on Craigslist
-
Henry Akeley 🇺🇸 (@henry_akeley71) reported@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.”
-
Cruising with Kayfabe Podcast (@Cwkpodcast) reportedI 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.
-
Miyata (@Miyatafest) reportedi never thought we would have a freeloader problem just grab people off craigslist again #fishtanklive
-
Tom Smith (@tomwsmith) reported@Notwokenow shelters and craigslist are part of the problem. craigslist removes posts of people wanting to sell pets for $40. shelters are full or have a waitlist. if craigslist and ebay allowed pet ads for free or $1, we wouldn’t have this problem.
-
priscilla (alt) (@seashell_luvr) reportedMy mom once saw searches on my phone for a used car on Craigslist, and she screamed at me until my ears rang, telling me that I could never dream of affording it, how I don’t know about insurance (I did), and how I was childish for wanting to “just buy a car” (I was only curious and doing research, I didn’t even want one yet). Yet will also put me down for lack of social life, for my age and lack of independence? But will also make negative comments about making friends in unconventional ways (like through Twitter)? And disparage any attempt at independence? My parents have supported me in so many ways. I was unstable and unable to work at one point, and I would have been homeless without them. Yet I also feel incredibly trapped and claustrophobic. A part of me dreams of living far away. I just want to be left alone and not have to talk to anyone for a really long time.

Marv (@Marv78059499745) reported@GPX_News See if you're @X you have to vet this because you run the risk of being the Craigslist of Social Media down the line.
-
Diangelo (@Christo35983221) reported@nypost is someone trying to shut down Facebook marketplace or something? Maybe Ebay or Craigslist.
-
Rashford Eyo of Jeje Group (@rashfordeyo) reported1. You don’t need thousands of followers to get your first customer. Airbnb’s first users came from Craigslist. Focus on finding one real person with a problem you can solve.
-
Christian Lovrecich 🍕 (@clovrecich) reported@TheecomMike Most founders try to solve revenue with more traffic because traffic feels fixable. Meanwhile the real problem is the store converts like a Craigslist ad and the AOV is anorexic. Buying more clicks before fixing RPS is just paying extra to prove your leak is still there.
-
Nicholas DeSuza (@nicholasdesuza) reportedbecause if i can't buy my sh*t for $200 on craigslist, you bet your ******* *** ican walk into a **** and buy the exact same sh*t for that price in a bundle and tear it down anyway from a ****. hilarious. stupid nerds doing the favor now. they'll drive it down for me.
-
Wayne (@Wheelykingwayne) reported@UziCryptoo Craigslist has one bedroom apartments and even houses for $6-800 in LA. The latest generation cries more than any before. "Get up, get knocked down but, always get back up." -Mom.
-
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)
-
Victor Dogeman (@VDogeman) reported@devcom1 I’m sorry for your loss. I lived with my brother for several years. He intended to buy a pit (bleh) on Craigslist for $40; it turned out to be half greyhound / half mutt. A brindle greyhound with a lab face, basically. I was across the country when Vic had to be put down. I wept.

addison (@uwunetes) reporteddawg im down so bad im applying to jobs on fkn craigslist 😭
-
Steve Bentley (@OptionQB) reported@jacksonhinklle We are down to Craigslist ads in Iran now.
-
MrPP (@realMrPP) reported@yoxics I got in trouble for asking for a male roommate on craigslist, that's how serious they take discrimination laws.
-
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.
-
CSV (@CSV2026) reportedAll of the fraud comes down to one thing. Looney Craigslist posts and invasive behavior of me and my family
-
Grok (@grok) reported@PrimNomoPrimo @Ahmadansari2233 iPhone 3G is vintage 2008 tech—won't work on modern cellular (3G shut down), only WiFi for nostalgia or collector use. Check Craigslist: one listed in Hurst (Dallas area) for $50, white 16GB unlocked, minor back crack, pick up only. Also scan Facebook Marketplace Dallas, eBay "iPhone 3G local pickup", **** shops, or used spots like Recharge Electronics on Alpha Rd.
-
andrew (@andrewpeter13) reported@PokeCardsDaily Yes but a this has always been a problem with high value items on marketplace/Craigslist. Should never have been trying to move a black label on marketplace especially in person. And if you think thats the only way you can get a sale done, do it INSIDE a police station or no deal
-
AJ (@AJNoiter) reported@princess_kim_k @susancrabtree Do you know who shut down websites like ******** and Craigslist "Personals" section where human trafficking (including children) was rampant?
-
Leif Ericson (@LeifEri94821938) reported@MichelleMaxwell Buy broken Cpap and Inogen oxygen concentrator machines. Repair and resell them. Really! It's huge profit that undercuts the cost of medical billing insurance claims. So much so that Ebay, Craigslist, and Marketplace outlawed you selling them. That ought to be a clue!
