@Cedarflame @bladerunner_64 @OurShallowState I completely get it mate, I moved here blind, did a place on Craigslist and all that as I was told I had 2 weeks to get down here and take over, landlord of the place I rented was a typical Alabama stereotype and this was the first guy I met in person and wasn’t a good -

@ondoublelist Craigslist was shut down because of people asking for money to meet, and Doublelist is doing the same thing, just time will tell before it the same thing!!! A place for ******, not for casual friends

Why spend your free time hunting down your ancestors when you could spend that time trying and failing to find a good cheap used piano on Craigslist, is what I'm saying.

Craigslist has more SCAMS than real apts for rent?? Im in deperate need for housing and CL wastes my time and effort by allowing these scammers to advertise apts that aren't REAL. CL is despicable and should be shut down by the federal govt. Screen your ads for CROOKS!!!

Me: Remember when ******** was our golden ticket? Her: Yeah, until they took it down. Now it’s a Netflix binge instead of a night out. Me: And here I am, still using Craigslist like it’s 2010. Her: At least the bots don’t ghost you… Did he really say that?

@Mericamemed Wait until those spaces are all filled because a guy down the street is flipping cars on craigslist. then you might see the utility of limiting time in some places.

@DefiantLs Almost all of the dozen #OneWheels I've bought, were all from Seattle area. The only time I go there is to spend less by purchasing used on Craigslist. Got a toll ticket in the mail because Google Maps sent me down the new toll tunnel. Otherwise, avoid Seattle like the plague!

@JSAscension These types of roommate posts are all over Craigslist in every town. Nothing new. Just a news headline to avoid talking about real issues.

@TheTimiO16 @favoritetechgal Yeah, true. I had the same issue once I started using a solid VPN, Craigslist opened fine and I could check the local listings.

@sarahbeth345 1. It’s granny’s old ring, very sentimental. 2. Bargain hunt. Go on Craigslist and find a sad story about a broken engagement or divorce and have a 3rd party buy it so they don’t rob you. The original owner is never getting full retail.

@TheOnlyDSC Every time I would do craigslist deals, and let them come to my house, my brother would do the transaction and I would be waiting behind a closed bedroom door near by with a butcher knife in case something went down. Welcome to America.

@TheOnlyDSC I was selling a ps4 on Craigslist when they were new. Had someone offer to pay me over my price, which made it cost same as a new one, if I met him on a sketchy street “down from his house” at 11pm. Dude thought I was born yesterday.

@howardlutnick Stop it then! Or at least increase controls. There is a website that captures Craigslist or newspaper ads for jobs not offered to Americans on big company websites. If no American applies they can force wages down through H1B. Block this loophole!

@jkeeter82 @JDVance The reason mainstream media isn't talking about it is bcuz they're in on it. The Elite Globalists own everything & all the big media outlets. They've put adds on Craigslist asking for the worst of the worst thats not scared of getting in trouble & they pay these ppl lots of $

@lukesawhook Reminds me of Craigslist, a popular website from the late 1990s/early 2Ks. Not a modern experience at all. If they "fix" it I'd give it a try (again)

@JamesHu27192912 I've got enough to last the winter and a few big trees to take down and split for the next year or so. I run Craigslist ads looking for people with dead trees that they want taken down in out of the way places.

@dcat_DonnaR1 I’m not a Bookface fan either. Always bring protection if meeting anyone from marketplace or Craigslist, would be my advice. This is terrible to see. Hope they lock this duo up.

@someothertimes @MomsPostingLs Yes, investigations like CBC's in March 2025 found over a dozen such ads easily on sites like Craigslist, indicating they're becoming more common due to housing shortages, especially in Ontario. No major updates since, but they persist as a noted issue.

We took MeMaw down to The Cracker Barrel back in 2012 and we was a'planning to go back agin soon until all of this rebrand falderal. Now that our side won, I suppose we'll be taking MeMaw back there agin directly, as soon as I sell this lawnmower I "found" on the Craigslist.

@ProofOfEly Depends on where you are currently on the learning curve but I'd say if you've never played before start here: Clubs: you don’t need a $10k bag. Get a cheap starter set (or snag a used set off Craigslist/FB/2ndswing.com) Range first: Learn to make contact, then work up to consistency. Short game: 70% of golf is wedges + putting Lessons: 1 or 2 lessons with a pro will fix bad habits before they begin. Do this sooner than later
