-
Backwards World (@Backwards_W0rld) reported@AngelMD1103 The same thing happened to CraigsList too, everyone went to Facebook and OfferUp because you could see who you are dealing with and rate them. I've had the same experience when trying to sell and give stuff away. It's not worth dealing with the no shows and people issues.

KB 3.0 (@SDdude420) reported@CardPurchaser Not yet but I did find someone trying to sell hundreds of cards on Craigslist last night. Only problem is that they’re 5 hours away from me. I really want to buy their collection but there’s no way I’m driving for 10 hours to go get them.

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

Greg Betz (@gregbetz55) reportedIt's not a coincidence that God killed the founder of the prostitution website OnlyFans with cancer. The government needs to shut that website down like they did with ******** and Craigslist.

EdwardMaga (@edwardmaga01) reported@IRanMediaco “I found a guy on Craigslist who built my deck for a fraction of those other guys!” “But they didn’t get permits and the job has to be torn down and completely redone and you’re getting fined” “Damn…what a hormuz chalupa!”

Grok (@grok) reported@Charles07788205 @RubiRubidoooo KSL (not KSE—likely a typo) is KSL Classifieds, Utah's big online marketplace (like Craigslist) run by Deseret News. The guy in the video is from the Kingston clan ("The Order"), a polygamist group based in Davis County, Utah. Polygamy is illegal under US/UT law (bigamy felony), but these groups often use one legal marriage + "spiritual" unions to skirt enforcement unless abuse/fraud/child issues arise. They've been investigated for decades but operate in plain sight there.

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.

Paul Mitchell (@paulmitche11) reportedHere is the Craigslist ad for the company that hired this petition gatherer. Note: this is a subcontractor to the firm hired by CHA/CTA/Consumer Attorneys/Uber. They hire people as independent contractors. Based on the three part test in AB 5 (@LorenaSGonzalez) this is illegal. And everyone knows it. But they still hire these firms who use an illegal employment practice, one which is fraudulent, and encourages more fraud. The AG @RobBonta should be shutting all these operations down, confiscating all the signed petitions, and creating a massive cost to any organization that collects signatures with these shady firms. Firms that hire the handful of shady / monopolistic firms should fear that all their petitions will be impounded by a legal action by the state AG or a County Prosecutor if the firms they hire are breaking the states employment law. And that’s a minimum. Preferably this gets backed up by an aggressive reform. Looking at you @isaacgbryan - LFG!!

dbetty (@ddbetty) reported@7Veritas4 @WallStreetApes My investments are making money. Craigslist sales are down. Snapshot of the real economy. Got some money, you are okay. Struggling? Not so okay.
-
RACHEL. (@GenuinelyRachel) reported@whitney_coon @Damious4 @billings_steve BTW not to throw anyone under the bus, but when showed proof of what faux pas told and showed me. Others admitted to what went down in the 6 chat when you assisted in finding prostitutes to send to my home and send others from Craigslist to mess with my home where KIDS live.

Jeri Richards (@jam270f) reported@greta The cost to repair my beautiful ruby red LG set was enormous. A lovely couple purchased it from I listing I posted on Craigslist. The husband was a repairman. I fully disclosed the washing machine issue. Well, 2years later … I just saw it on the side of the road. Hate my GE set.

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.

Infamous (@InfamousMaxx) reported@Jome253 I had the lite but didn’t keep it long and sold it off so no big catalog I have a 50min-1hr train ride to work so handheld is ideal, can also use during shift.. Money isn’t issue but I’ve looked on Craigslist for value but most are too used up so leaning brand new.

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 💪

ON THE COO… (@six_year_plan) reported@FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.
-
Dispeller (@DispellerSOB) reported@4EVARDR1 @Rothmus seeing some on craigslist. Autotrader looks like its down though, idk but I'm back-n-forth between Central America and the states. I see a lot of decent used cars in Atlanta and in Central America but more expensive in Central America.
-
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.
-
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.

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.”
-
Quietinthechaos (@Quietnthechaos) reported@J3ssicaStarling People pushed for COMPANIES to have to be responsible for the content they HOST. Since UNDERAGE girls, Trafficking victims, and REVENGE porn victims couldn’t get photos of themselves taken down. ******** and Craigslist CHOSE to remove the ability to post yourself safely to save $

Harold Of Whoa (@myxburneracct) reported@wadelentz Moved into a temporary house in a new city a few months ago and needed a washer dryer combo to fit in a very small designated laundry room spot. I ended up finding a Whirlpool washer/dryer combo from the 80s on craigslist for $75. It only needed a plastic water pump housing piece after I saw a small leak, but it still runs like a champ. $100 for a little smaller capacity washer, but I know if something ever breaks it will be simple to repair. I think moving forward I'm just going to buy the old appliances that are still around and fix them as needed. Way better investment.

Rest in Peace Banewreaker 又 (@SkinSinge) reportedI learned how to fix these with 8 pennies and a bit of electrical tape and I would buy them on Craigslist and re-sell them fixed. About 12 cents in "parts" and 10-15 mins of labor.

BlueInThe6ix (@BlueInThe6ix) reported@TodayJays @JillianMcLeod05 TV inventory in Kijiji/Craiglist FREE listings are down 📉

Grok (@grok) reported@shravanrayhaan @lostonearth80 @SiliconSalvage No, the market wasn't wrong about newspapers in 2001-2007. Broadband and sites like Craigslist/Google crushed classified/print ad revenue (down ~30%+ for firms), circulation fell sharply, and stocks like Gannett/Tribune lost 80-95% by 2009 as the old model broke. The thesis that digital would obsolete the category was spot on—unlike many SaaS moats today.
-
@VFW91 (@VFW91) reported@Oceanbreeze473 Life to short, I’d politely ask again, and again. Then I’d buy a $200 car off CraigsList and park it there permanently. Problem solved for $200.
-
Cheryl (@Cheryl31187) reportedWho in the world owns Craigslist? I just heard that Tesla had bought it out, is that true? We listed Belgian Mallinois puppies on there for sale and they keep taking the ad down, saying “some posters objected to my ads”. There are some petty, immature jackasses out there including Craigslist! That’s my rant for the week!
-
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!
-
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.

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.
