nofunsir (@nofunsir) reported@paulg There is definitely a space for rented private workshops. Even boomers who advertise their ****** overpriced garage on craigslist as a cool workshop at the end basically get creeped out if you actually tell them you intend to use it as a workshop. It's a NIMBY issue.

King Neptune (@neptunemining) reported3/ Miner capitulation means fire sales, bankruptcies, and S19s on Craigslist next to broken treadmills. NMT's break-even is sub-30k with debt service still covered. We buy the treadmills and run them on sunshine.

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.

OTROVERT🔴⚪️ (@OLUDAVID_D) reportedA young Swedish woman, who described herself as having extraordinary beauty and extremely seductive charms posted an anonymous ad on Craigslist stating that she was looking for a wealthy man to marry with an annual income of over $500,000, plus several conditions. She received a response from a commenter, as follows: - My dear beautiful lady... I read your post with interest, and I think many beautiful girls have questions similar to yours. Allow me to analyze your questions as a professional investor. My total annual income is over $500,000, which perfectly matches your requirements. From my perspective as a businessman, it would be a bad decision to marry you. Here's my short answer, and let me explain why: "Regardless of the details, what you're doing now is a pure transaction. An exchange of your "beauty" for "my money." Person A has the beauty, and Person B will pay money for that beauty. A perfectly fair and straightforward transaction. However, there's a fatal problem here: your beauty will inevitably diminish over the years, while my money isn't expected to diminish without a strong reason. The truth is, my income will likely increase from year to year, while you won't be any more beautiful in a few years. So, from an economic perspective, I represent an "asset" whose value increases over time, while you represent a "consumer" asset whose value decreases. If your beauty is all you own, things will get worse because you won't be a normal consumer product, but rather a product with a very high depreciation rate that will completely expire within 10 years.

Dimitris Drolapas (@DDrolapas) reported@celticsfan695 It's not good right now for tenants. You get the best deals searching between November and February. Best chance of getting a deal now is to scour Craigslist and find the ads with terrible pictures.

John Mac (@JohnMcCart87216) reported@AllHailTzeentch @StefanMolyneux My car was broken into, my wallet and music gear was stolen, and listed on craigslist and the seller included his address (across the street from me), and I had two gas station videos of him using my credit card --- the cops said THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW UP.

Nobody (@Nobody2018) reported@0xSwampy Wait until you try to sell something on FB Marketplace or Craigslist. The most annoying buyers are Indians, hands down. You will be amazed by the pattern of experience.

𝙴.𝙱. (@hermesxvii) reportedAirbnb's first growth hack was illegal. In 2010, they built a tool that auto-posted Airbnb listings directly to Craigslist. - Craigslist had the traffic. - Airbnb had the product. Airbnb didn't wait to be discovered. Instead they became a parasite on one of the biggest websites on the internet. By the time Craigslist shut it down, Airbnb had already stolen a million users. Growth hacking is just knowing whose audience to steal before they notice.

47fucb4r8curb4fc8f8r4bfic8r (@47fucb4r8c69323) reportedI want to share a story that makes me look stupid because it is a testament to just how much America is a land of opportunity. Back in 2011 or so I was looking to get out of academia and I saw a job posted on Craigslist. It was a startup that they described as a Groupon-like new business (Google it, Gen Zers). Anyway, I emailed, they got back in touch, we discussed, and it was clear to me that I was not right for the job (see reply below for why, it's actually important). That company was called Applovin, which is now worth $138 billion dollars. Idk what number employee I'd have been--I seem to remember them saying #10, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me. Anyway, this was a craigslist ad and, if I'd been more money motivated, more willing to fake it until I make it, or maybe more confident, oh how comically absurdly repulsively rich I would be. And I ended up having coffee with one of the founders a couple of years later. We discussed what we were up to, and he was not good at all at hiding the contempt, disgust, and pity he had for me now that I was working as a lowly analyst on Wall Street, although he was certainly polite the entire time. But ex-Goldman founder types, well, they can only think in status and specifically the kinds of status games that their narrow little world certifies as valid. The moral of the story is that America has so much ******* opportunities, man, there are so many ways to make money, there are so many small companies that will become massive, and if you are not cynical and have an open mind you will find so many ways to get filthy ******* rich as a result. The best part of this story is I turned down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (which, ironically, I've had several of), and I still ended up a multi-millionaire in my 40s with enough cash to never have to work again and able to just do what I want to do. That's how much opportunity there is in America--even the weird autist who turns down a huge opportunity still ends up wealthy. Try doing that in Germany. Or Japan. I ******* love being American man.

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.

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

Nathan Shobe (@NShobe) reported@alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.

Travis Hendricks (@TanookiTravis) reported@Grummz If your wife asked you to break down the million dollars you made this year, you probably wouldn't mention the used toaster you sold on Craigslist, because it wouldn't be worth the time. Their gaming revenue is a single used toaster to them now.

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.

Kain Yusanagi (@KainYusanagi) reported@solitaryasmr You could always set up your own personal server for cheap; it'd be much less to run than paying for Dropbox. You don't even need any special hardware; just use an old tower or laptop. If you don't still have your old one, you could check Craigslist or w/e your local equivalent.

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

KuphDev (@KuphDev) reported@zanehengsperger Gud strat. Get the people scrolling thru craigslist trying to find deals on old cars to fix up

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!

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. 👀

MrPP (@realMrPP) reported@yoxics I got in trouble for asking for a male roommate on craigslist, that's how serious they take discrimination laws.

Daeron Myers (@IAMDAERONMYERS) reported"I need a box truck to make real money." Nah. I started in a car after my 9-to-5. Saved $2,200 in courier work. Bought a cargo van off Craigslist. Then a box truck. Your vehicle is not the problem.

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!”

Red Stator (@thenovanglus) reported@LifetimeIP @JoelWBerry We bought a lot of our furniture on closeout, at goodwill, off Craigslist, in yard sales, or at BigLots. Now I have single pieces of furniture which costs more than everything totaled in our first house. Our first mattress was a 30yr old hand-me-down from the inlaws that my wife literally actually was conceived on (gross).

Jennifer (@Jennifer75089) reported@Jason2bartlett There are Americans who will pay premium money for “reclaimed wood.” if you know the age of that barn and you ever decide to tear it down, before you take it down, post that stuff on Facebook marketplace and craigslist, as come and get reclaimed wood and people will pay for it.

lmorato (@lmorato4) reportedWell, have you ever considered that maybe there was a really cool thing on craigslist that was worth like 100 billion but Erdogan was really really smart and haggled it down to just 20 and the guy fell for it and now he's just waiting for it to arrive in a week or two?

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

Krelian (@PoliticianRGay) reported@SecondAmendment @Fat_Electrician I kept running through dryers, used fancy **** on craigslist. I went to home depot, bought the one with two dials and a button for $500 and haven't looked back. Oddly enough the only thing that has broken is the one thing it has, a dial. I had to order a new plastic dial for $8.

Fundador 🇺🇸 (@fundadorisback) reported@Hot_Pepper76 It's happened since the internet began. Sites served a purpose like craigslist for example then scammer ruin it, cause the sites to pay so much trying to keep it clean they have to constantly change things, it's hard to keep anything free. They have to shove so many ads down your throat just to make enough to keep site going. I was on youtube to watch some video on how to fix something. I click to the link to watch & 2 30 second sds right away then vid starts & immediately back to same two ads. They get done and the guy on the vid starts with 20 min useless talk how he first got started with this & every minute is interrupted with ads. So damn annoying, these people just talk & talk & talk to keep you there to get more ads before they get to the actual subject you came for. Thankfully it's not nearly that bad when listening to music on there... Yet !

RationalAnarchist (@marcalodunerro) reported@deplorable2025 @EBTtok I agree with you mostly but i also want to mock you because your name is Craig. For the life of me though I can't remember a Craig that has given me an issue. Maybe Craigslist has something to do with it. 🤔
