Craigslist Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Mayor Cam (@Cameron54079333) reported@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.

Pointops (@pointopsrd) reported@Shiwon_NZ_Ao @AirbnbHelp @ApartmentsHope You live in a fantasy world, where AirBnB is responsible for anythig. Yes, they like to pretend so into your (customer) face, to justify their 20% cut. Under the fake surface, they are just a pink Craiglist. You issue is with the owner. AirBnB will fine him, keep his money and give you nothing. Many such cases. Research the horrid stories property owners had - not with guest but with ABnB.

lala ✨ (@LakeShowLala) reportedWhen I was 19 I moved to California with someone off Craigslist because the @lakers were down 0-3 to Dallas in the western conference finals and I was certain if I touched LA ground they would come back. (They didn’t)

Rob Goodall (@RobGoodall6) reported@EamonOFlynn @DennisKendel Craigslist was the first major blow. The classifieds were 1/3 of most papers revenue back in the day. But none of this is our problem. Trust in the Canadian mainstream news media has largely collapsed because half the population has zero representation. The CBC, CTV and Global are pretty much indistinguishable and could be merged into one without anyone even noticing. There's a lot of things they could do, but they won't as long as their failing business models keep getting propped by the public purse. The world has changed. Legacy news is dying out, and we should let it.

Shobit Gupta (@shobitfarcast) reportedEveryone talks about Airbnb's Craigslist hack. The real lesson is the opposite of a hack. They flew to meet 24 users. They knocked on doors. They took photos themselves. The founders who find product-market fit fastest are the ones willing to do unscalable things until they understand exactly what's broken. Scale the insight. Not the hustle.

Betty Egg (@betty_egg) reportedJust sold my Nintendo Switch and games for $220. Craigslist is so weird and sketchy, man. Doing business on Craigs is probably very similar to doing something in the 3rd world. He wanted to come into my house, then he wanted to chew me down on the price (insanely cheap already) - the entire time I'm just bracing myself for the worst possible scenario. It's a freaking Nintendo Switch. If he's gonna rob me at gun point, he wins! Simple as! Not gonna die over a Nintendo. One time I sold a Fender Stratocaster to a **** head guy at a grocery store, and he called me back 10 minutes later, sobbing on the phone, begging for his money back. I was like, "Sure dude, whatever!" and he was like, "OMG, thank you! Thank you! God bless! God bless!" He was in tears and it's like bro..... You need to stop blowing your drug money on guitars.

Diangelo (@Christo35983221) reported@nypost is someone trying to shut down Facebook marketplace or something? Maybe Ebay or Craigslist.
-
Bob Smith (@TheGoodBobby) reported@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.

Ski Town SMB (@stevehaag81) reported@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.

M Mohan (@mukund) reported@namyakhann If design gets me a customer vs not then hey I am all for great design. Most early adopters don’t care. If the problem is hair on fire they will use even Craigslist
-
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
-
El Gabo (@gabe_elgabo) reported@spaztron64 Yeah, go to Craigslist if you want to see what most websites looked like in the 2000s. Most websites were just menu boxes on a page. None of this scrolling down forever nonsense.
-
Jay (@JJcollecs) reported@ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @coachella Honestly check Craigslist for people trying to panic sell. Have done it for 4+ years and never had an issue.

🇺🇲 American soil, American oil™ 🇺🇲 (@VoteLambright) reported@jjohnpotter Did you put it on craigslist? List it for $20 and say, best deal in town, cost $xx,xxx new. People can't pass up a good deal. If it's free they think something is wrong, if they pay, it's a way to earn money. The Brain is broken this way.

Angela Baird (@AngelaB89611706) reportedI was thinking. Bad bunny lyrics were really that explicit. He needs shut down for putting our Spanish speaking kids in jeopardy. But I think Austin's Google account being shut down because he tried to get a bunny from craigslist is either his sickness I don't know or a problem
-
Lisa Ann Jones (@LisaAnnJones61) reported@the_dadchef When my '77 wall oven started acting up: "Ma'am, for the cost to fix this you may as well buy a new one!" After TWO new garbage wall ovens later, I'm scouring Craigslist & Marketplace for a circa 70s-80s oven in decent shape (avocado or gold now acceptable). Ridiculous.

Lane Fluker (@fluker_lane) reported@Grubworm71 @MeidasTouch Being gay is not his problem, MAGA, and posting sec pictures in the RNC on Craigslist definitely is a problem. Texan here, my gay friends can’t stand this dude!

TravelPants (@PantsToTravel) reported@Oroborous2 @BonesawMD First off is that it was very cheap. In USA gas and food as cheap as $100 a week. Overseas travel I budgeted $1k/month Seasonal odd jobs sporadically while saving 80% of pay. Would put up flyers and do handyman fix it work. Would flip things off of Craigslist etc

caroline freebern (@myHeartis1true) reported@Thanksfoasking @Evie_Magazine @AnnaDamon5143 It’s a really difficult question. I was studying at NYU to school of the arts living in the law dorms. My friend and roommate was looking for jobs and none of them than craigslist. She found a job as a photographers assistant. She came home one evening, breaking down in tears and shaking, telling me that she had been ***** by him. I really stood by her and then one day we decided to try to look for an apartment because we’d wake up in the middle of the night and see these huge roaches, crawling on the wall near our heads. Don’t you know that there were a group of women waiting to be interviewed by this landlord when he came out to call the next possible girl my friend grabbed my hand and whispered to me that’s him! I wasn’t afraid of the bastard now that I finally know he’s taking advantage of women big time. I quickly spoke up to several performing artists and said.” guys this is really dangerous and that man ***** my friend you’ve got to get out of here.” One of the women responded I don’t care and they all stayed. There was always both an athletic commitment and simultaneously taking jobs, one of which was in a place call café in Americano. Little did I know that the owner was a crack addict, and his main clientele were members of one of the Italian mafias. The owner used to smash dishes in the kitchen and them come out and asked me if everything was doing OK honey? I was at the bar getting drinks and this very huge shady man began talking to me. He asked me if I liked olives and I said yeah then he grabbed me and took the olive in his mouth and tried to put it on mine like he was kissing me. Things like this get me so much in a rage it’s adrenaline and I yelled at him if you ever ever do that again you’re breathing be getting a visit from one of the boys in Westchester, a whole crew of them. He tried to make light of it and joke, but I ignored him. Then the owner came out and pulled me aside and said do you have any idea who you were talking to? I said no just some pervert. He said no sweetie you’ve got it all wrong. He’s very involved in laundering money and selling narcotics. What’s the Genevieves mob. I wasn’t concerned and when I left that night from Chelsea it was pitch black and I was wearing a long sleeved white dress. Out of nowhere, a huge rat the size of a small dog cut me off and stepped on my foot. I don’t think I’ve ever ran that fast in my life back to Washington Square.

***** (@Davebenolinovo) reported@AbhiCodes15 actually building it right now — an app to find and give away free stuff in your city. started because Craigslist free section is a disaster and Facebook Marketplace has too much friction. sometimes the simplest problems make the best SaaS

Wednesday GenericPanic (@WednesdayGenpan) reportedI hired a plumber off of craigslist to change some seals on my kitchen sinks, and convert the S trap to a proper P trap. But the drainage pipe does not go into the wall, it goes directly down. Dude claimed to be a master plumber with 15 years of experience….
-
juicy ceviche (@sbeams) reported@traff1c_junky yeah any year CRV is sought after, especially ones that are much easier to fix like your ‘98. I’d post it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist etc and get way more money than Carfax trade in

James (@gxp11) reported@col_a_buendia "Fisherman" got MK Ultra'd to head down and casue trouble. Or some amateur mercs from Craigslist...
