PR Zoooom (@zoooomNews) reportedSelling a car today still sucks.

Rooftop Assyrian ن (@RooftopAssyrian) reported@eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.

Nathan Newman | Web developer (@dev_Doniix) reportedDAY 6 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (a guy on Craigslist offered me a pizza in exchange for "a small website". I said yes immediately.) the Craigslist client wants a full e-commerce website he described it as "something like Amazon but smaller" I described it as "sure no problem" I do not know how to build this I opened ChatGPT and typed "build me an e-commerce website" ChatGPT gave me 400 lines of code I pasted it it didn't work I asked ChatGPT why it doesn't work ChatGPT apologized and gave me 400 different lines of code I am now the middleman between ChatGPT and a pizza mom asked who I'm talking to at 2am. I told her my senior developer. she asked why my senior developer sounds like a robot. I said that's just how senior developers sound. status: in development. hungry for pizza. outsourced. further less 💪

@PawsnTails4TX 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐾🐾 (@PawsnTails4TX) reported@CLMSQ2 Can’t even reply to this comment, it’s too idiotic, especially when you bought a puppy off of Craigslist, your part of the problem
-
GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported@f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

CSV (@CSV2026) reportedAll of the fraud comes down to one thing. Looney Craigslist posts and invasive behavior of me and my family
-
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.

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

boomin sooner (@kellyb019283) reported@MONETARY_MAYHEM @calvinfroedge I keep telling you guys to buy and fix up all the old motorcycles on Craigslist & fabo marketplace. Motorcycle prices will triple by eoy
-
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

Ayush (@ironmark1993) reportedif 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.
-
Zach Zhao (@thezachzhao) reported@RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

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!

GulagRat (@Gulag_Rat) reported@BitcoinSapiens Rent aka splitting a 1 or 2 BR with a roomate, should have no issues affording it. Do people not use Craigslist anymore? Get a roomate and save your money folks
-
k Ⓥ (@rowdytellezbian) reported@Nachtel_Hussar My car is fine, it just is inefficient because it’s old. My car broke down two years ago, I searched Craigslist and fb for weeks prior bc I knew it was coming, went to see the Audi, it works fine. Are you arguing that gas is NOT too expensive?

United Fireworks (@unitedfireworks) reportedBuy Right, Avoid Fireworks Scams Fireworks sales scams often spike around the Fourth of July, featuring fake websites, illegitimate online marketplaces (Facebook, Craigslist), and fraudulent "clearance" deals. Scammers often demand cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle/Venmo, providing no contact info. Inspect products for fake "safe and sane" seals and avoid unlicensed roadside stands. Common Fireworks Sales Scams: Fake Social Media: Scammers create social media posts advertising cheap fireworks or "after-holiday" clearances, specifically stealing payment information. Illegal Online Marketplaces: Fraudulent sellers operate on platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, often selling illegal or nonexistent products. Misleading Product Packaging: Products may be disguised, such as canister shells packaged to look like different, or sometimes, lower-quality items. Counterfeit "Safe and Sane" Seals: Sellers may use fake, non-genuine safety seals, particularly on fireworks that are illegal in certain areas. Unlicensed Roadside Stands: Temporary, un-permitted stands may sell illegal or dangerous products. How to Avoid Scams Verify Sellers: Only buy from reputable, known fireworks retailers. Secure Payment Methods: Avoid paying with cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle, which offer little protection for fraud. Check Local Laws: Ensure the fireworks are legal in your area; illegal fireworks are often sold via illicit channels. Avoid "Too Good To Be True" Deals: Extremely low prices or "exclusive" sales are red flags. Inspect Before Buying: Check for legitimate packaging and seals. Further insight into potential scams associated with larger vendors, consumers have reported issues with high minimum spend requirements for discounts as under covered by Ed Haury of United Fireworks.

Robert Van Dusen (@RealRVanDusen) reportedCraigslist is terrible for trying to find an apartment, imo. The same property manager must have taken out about fifty or more ads in one area where I was looking. Also, just as a general rule, nobody seems to update the availability on any website, so you never know what's open.

Steel-Toed Turbo Nerd (@PaToFe4) reported@lithos_graphein My craigslist search history says I do not, but would like to. Store bulk solvents outside, under cover. Not ideal, but better than burning the house down lol.
-
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.
-
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

Wiz888999 (@ODB123) reported🤔💭People forgetting $eBay already had one of the nastiest corporate PR scandals in tech history. Federal case.DOJ involvement. Former employees pleading guilty over harassment campaigns against critics in Massachusetts. Surveillance. Threats. Creepy deliveries. Fake Craigslist posts. Whole thing sounded unreal. So now RC starts publicly cooking management, trolling seller experience, mocking culture, gets suspended… and internet immediately starts reposting old headlines again. 😭 Bad timing doesn’t even begin covering it. Narrative went from: “haha meme CEO posting socks” to: “why does every new controversy keep connecting back to older culture problems?” Online momentum moves FAST once people start linking patterns together. 👀

Brian Salas (@Nerdicon_Prime) reported@packingpatriot_ You bought that outfit off Craigslist for some ****. Sit down fake patriot.

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.

Grok (@grok) reported@myers_jose49410 @zipfan2005 @drehkicks This video captures a super awkward door interaction: A guy shows up claiming he bought a MacBook on Kleinanzeigen (German Craigslist) and is here to pick it up at this address. The resident has no clue, denies it, suggests maybe wrong city (Berlin?), and they exchange polite goodbyes while the camera guy leaves embarrassed down the stairs. Pure secondhand cringe gold—that's why it "******" the poster's sleep.

Chris Dalke (@chris_dalke) reported@KennethCassel @zanehengsperger The main problem I have with this is the only time I ever need cash is for a sketchy Craigslist purchase of a boat or something

Saul Flores Jr. (@SaulFloresJr) reported@DabsMalone I used to pick up broken electronics during college and sell the functional parts on eBay and Craigslist and taking apart those massive printers was the most painful experience ever. Very heavy, complex, no demand for replacement parts. Learned my lesson and switched to TVs and never looked back lol.
-
Psychotic Technique (@CyQoTek) reported@kakashiii111 Funny how watching all these people talk about shortages and high prices- and the work of @GamersNexus, no hate just referencing- say the memory issue. Maybe check out the Craigslist and FB marketplace ads by me- 4090s, 5090s, 32 to 128g ram builds cant bring $1600-1800....

Bill 'Paw ''EngineSteveO'' Paw' Everydude (@DildoMalone420) reportedNothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****
