  A brother living near my house bought a used iPhone on Craigslist for $300 cash. It looked brand new. It was completely factory reset. A week later, his camera flash turned on by itself in his dark bedroom. He thought it was just a software glitch. But it was so much worse.

  We built a garden shed from scratch replacing an old falling down shack. No plans just husband and I building with materials we could get off of Craigslist. It was so nice with the cobblestone floor we were like I don't know should we make this a hangout room instead of just parking the riding mower?

  Am I the Ahole for refusing to pay my parents rent, moving out, and going completely ghost on them? ​Used a different account to post because some of my extended family members follow my main, and frankly, I don’t need the extra drama right now. ​I 22 male recently graduated from college and managed to land a decent, entry-level job in my field. Because the housing market is an absolute nightmare, my parents offered to let me move back into my childhood bedroom "to help me save up for a down payment or a place of my own." I was incredibly grateful. I figured I'd be able to stack some serious cash, pay off some student loans, and be out of their hair in a year. ​Well, the "honeymoon phase" lasted exactly two weeks. ​On the third week, my dad sat me down at the kitchen table with a literal spreadsheet. He informed me that since I was now a working adult, I needed to "contribute to the household." He demanded $800 a month in rent, plus a 1/3 share of the utilities and groceries. ​To put this in perspective: $800 plus utilities is essentially what it costs to split a decent 2-bedroom apartment with a roommate in my city. When I pointed out that I was living in a tiny bedroom with a twin bed, sharing a bathroom with my teenage sibling, and living under their strict house rules (curfews, chores, asking permission to have friends over), my mom chimed in. She said if I lived anywhere else, I’d be paying market rate anyway, so I might as well "keep the money in the family." ​I tried to compromise. I offered $300 a month plus doing my own grocery shopping and taking over yard duty. They refused, claiming I was being entitled and disrespectful. My dad literally said, "Our roof, our rules, our rates." ​So, I played nice for a month while I secretly scoured Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I found a great apartment with two roommates from college. The rent is actually less than what my parents were demanding, and I don't have a 11:00 PM curfew.

  @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. 🤔

  @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.

  @The8bitidiot The issue was so bad that Microsoft had to extend the warranty by like 3 years if I remember correctly. They couldn't figure it out...there were multiple mobo iterations. I used to pick them up with the RROD off ebay or craigslist for cheap. As long as the seal was still intact and would mail them to Microsoft, wait 4-6 weeks for the replacement, and then resell them for a decent profit. Probably did this 6 or 7 times. If memory serves correctly there was a "arcade" version you could get without a hdd that had HDMI and was the most reliable version. The cover on the disc drive was white instead of chrome.

  @OfficialVivek01 Here’s a cleaned-up version with your voice intact, but tighter and more defensible: I just read the rest. You are correct: BTC is widely traded now. But I grew up with it before this version existed. We used to trade Bitcoin through Craigslist, meet miners in parks, parking lots, wherever both sides agreed, and do the exchange like that. I quit trading in 2023. From 2008 to 2023, I never once heard of Michael Saylor being some master guru or “King of Bitcoin.” I barely heard his name at all in the circles I came from. Then last week I started paying attention. And once I did, patterns started firing off. Some of those patterns connected back to odd BTC behavior from around 2022–2023. I have rapid pattern recognition and a nonlinear mind. Some of that comes from early trauma. Some of it comes from combat trauma. When a pattern keeps hitting me, it does not leave me alone until I look at it. That is also why I was a scalp trader. Early crypto traders like me helped map the cycles everyone trades now. We watched this market grow from nothing. So I understand BTC very well. I can even build a blockchain. What I saw last week was odd. Brokers, TV financial analysts, and even BlackRock’s CEO are now openly talking about Bitcoin cycles like they discovered them. That is insane to me. Brokers used to get fired for even mentioning Bitcoin. They used to call us criminals for owning it. Now they act like they found it first. We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance drops hard toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where you fill bags. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax strategy, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not some random level. That was the deep structure layer. So now the question becomes fair: Was it just tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then BTC gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point Bitcoin may still be decentralized at the protocol layer, but the market layer becomes a farm. That is what I am watching. What moved before the wick Whale manipulation was never some secret to the old BTC traders. We all knew it was happening. We just learned the game, mapped the traps, and traded around the predators instead of pretending Bitcoin was some clean little free market.

  @HappyMotorhead I remember seeing those Supra's everywhere on Craigslist for around $1,500 in running condition. Albeit it was around 20 years ago, lol.. Look up what they cost now.. I would still take the Chevelle, But I would NOT turn down the Supra if given the chance.

  @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.

  Buy 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.

  @Lexcalibur001 @Vyyyper @grok PC doesn't count as a current platform? I don't buy AAA games on launch, but I don't think that should be taken as an across the board statement that I don't play anything new. Some of my favorites are: Factorio <-Arguably not a game, but still the best game. Civilization V All the Creeper World games. Cyberpunk 2077 All the Serious Sam games Age of Empires II Age of Mythology Rise of Nations Deus Ex Fallout 3 / Vegas Saints Row 3 Ion Fury Portal Bioshock I'll give you a lot of those are older, but let's face it the new Civ games are crap. The RTS genera hasn't advanced since AoE2 IMO. I played the newer Deus Ex and what not, but the quality has dropped dramatically. Recently I have been playing a lot of rouge like action games. Brotato, Nova Drift, 20XX, 30XX I also do a lot of puzzle / physics stuff / real time problem solving games. I played a lot of the Steam VR stuff that was out more than 4 years ago. I have been waiting on the Steam Frame to get back into that. Quite a few arcade style games. A lot of indy games. I mostly focus on them at this point. I did pick up a Wii off craigslist just to do Mario Galaxy on the original controls.

  @GaryCardone The patterns. I have been in bitcoin since 2009. We would use craigslist to trade. We mapped the cycles We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k BTC zone is a major protected structure layer.

Then Bitcoin gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point, Bitcoin can still be decentralized at the protocol layer while the market layer becomes controlled farming infrastructure. Bitcoin is the asset. Retail is the crop. Wall Street is trying to become the farmer.

  @trentjhughes I think someone just needs to build a real life looking for group app. Let people post in the most unfiltered sense what they're looking to do. Not a Meetup clone, boiled down like 2000's Craigslist. Only stipulation is there's no free version and you have to be verified.
