0R4CLE . (@PR0PHETIA) reportedthis is my slicer ( gestures to weirdly half broken slicer that's covered in glitter glue and a half tied bow ) i named him cheese i got him off craigslist for 26 dollars
-
Ryan Du (@Rydx101) reported@felixleezd 'Bad design' is just design that fails the wrong audience. Craigslist looks terrible to designers but users dgaf — it works. Objective bad design doesn't exist, only mismatched context.
-
Quaesitor🇧🇼 (@Quaesitor121) reported@BigDickBarclay I pay him in cash. My electrician is a dude I found on Craigslist that smokes an absurd amount of ********* and has wired my entire house above code. The building inspectors were genuinely impressed by his work I'm a carpenter. I can come and go and fix surprisingly...
-
Julian Malinak (@JulianMalinak) reported(3/3) The problem wasn’t so much that a token was launched, the problem was that in fact building the 50th new perps DEX or some new yield infra infra thing is not in fact a transformative business that impacts the real world in the way Facebook / Craigslist was.

trout mask (original) (@BranPuffin) reported@HieroBorschtEsq I believe in you. Don’t let the Craigslist removal of back page get you down

Tax Donkey (@JohnnyEwing8888) reported@crusadepepe Craigslist. Get something at least 20 years old. Whatever the problem is, you can fix it yourself.

Hurricane Ben (@lukane89) reported@swanlake322562 @DAKKADAKKA1 bought cars consoles furniture and tvs on craigslist no problem, just gotta use common sense if a price is too good to be true there's a reason..Also the structure of the ad is very telling. If the person can barely put together a proper sentence stay away
-
Dan Gingerich (@dangitman50) reported@tpritha03 @vibeonX69 I just recently came across a deal on Craigslist: 128GB ECC-reg DDR3 and 8X 300GB SAS drives for $25. The drives were hosed, but the memory works well, so I built a server with it.
-
Doc Martinez (@DocMartinez2013) reported@anistotle_ If you want a grim laugh. Scroll through the used car listings on Craigslist or FB marketplace. You'll see the same carbon copy energy in the ads as you would see on the dating apps. Instead of everyone liking hiking, tacos, movies and music, it's "runs strong", "new tires", "just had $1500 of maintenance done" Sir, that 2005 Dodge Avenger with 200,000mi isn't worth what you're asking and will break down the minute you look at it wrong.

Zach (@zsgott) reported@anumness And the irony that even with its Craigslist-esque theme it’s soooo slow.

WillismSNabokov (@WilliamSNabokov) reported@13B_SWAPPED @HankHil82749816 My buddies dad would keep buying him burner cars, these ones that run but with tons of issues from Craigslist for 500-1k every few months because we’d run them into the ground, crash, etc. an alcoholic repairman lived in their shed and illegally gave him inspection stickers
-
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.”
-
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.

timeecool100 (@timeecool100) reportedlooking through the all the free stuff people are giving away on Craigslist like yeah I could just go down there and take that I don't want it but I could take it if I wanted to
-
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!
-
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.
-
Dhruv Jain (@DhruvJain08) reported@MakadiaHarsh Craigslist is still one of the ugliest sites on the internet and processes billions in transactions. Speed to solving the problem will always beat polish.
-
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 $
-
🥤🦆 (@MilkshakeDuck3) reported@RedPillMediaX @ScottPresler already has his skinny jeans down around his cowboy boots. I wonder if he'll sell the videos on Craigslist again?
-
₦≬б☿δ¥ Presents: 𓋴 𓃀 𓎡𓆊 (@pslymyy) reported@Anubis_Cell @RealNicePeople @pslymulation to head down to San Diego to dry the interior out as best we could, but gig opportunities, even busking, were a total bust. We got a lil hustle thru Craigslist speedcleaning airbnbs, then…. They started cracking down on RV parking and we were having engine trouble…
-
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.
-
Talent OverDrive! (@talentoverdrive) reported@HHorsley That's because every section on craigslist, including the original email list itself was organic. Craig first made the list as just a bcc: email to a handful of friends to announce or promote local arts showings or events. Those emails got forwarded and a handful of readers became hundreds. Then he switched to an email list server software - Majordomo I think - and from there people asked to include other goods, services, job, etc. in the emails. Then he built the craigslist website. Most all of the categories came from user requests and demand. Even some of the $$ pay-per-post $$ functions came from users and advertisers who asked that he charge a fee to keep scammers at bay.
-
Redacted (@theKageRyu) reported@desert_starr_57 It's the same with Offerup, Letgo, and craigslist. Though despite the same issues, I did get decent results from Letgo up until Offerup bought them out and tanked the platform I stated right in my posts "Stupid Questions and lowball offers will be ignored and users blocked."

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.

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
-
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.

🇺🇲 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.

Diangelo (@Christo35983221) reported@nypost is someone trying to shut down Facebook marketplace or something? Maybe Ebay or 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@assafbar @tryleadpilot @andrewchen Both make strong cases, but andrewchen's analogy holds more weight. Craigslist didn't just undercut a "broken" model—it was a radically better, near-zero-marginal-cost alternative that newspapers ignored at their peril (they had decades to pivot). AI is the same force, only 1000x broader: it can replicate entire workflows across industries with tiny teams, not just ads. Adaptation beats denial every time.
