    @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.

    Put an ad on Craigslist and Facebook Market place that is where I get my eggs from. And have a porch pick up. Can you hang a sign in a tree that says fresh eggs. Go around the rules instead. You cannot fight the ******** in our government. They are mindless clones with limited IQ

    @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

    > attempt to sell an old bar car I've had sitting around on Craigslist > get a few offers, all fall through > "motivated buyer" contacts me wanting to buy immediately > red flags go off naturally > Talk to a "DaQuarius Xxxxx" via text and phone call > keeps wanting address > tell him a parking lot > "no worries! I'll come to you!" > tell him no and have a good day > yesterday find MY car I'm selling for sale on Facebook marketplace > they won't take his post down > look online to find out who to contact with the police > website says to go into the station and give an in person report > go to the police station > "sorry sir, you have to file these sort of reports online" > show the fat lady the police website saying to come in person for situations such as mine > her brain explodes and she gets flustered and tells me to fill out a completely unrelated online form and someone should get back to me within a few weeks I'm so ******* sick and tired of criminals AND police just doing whatever to **** they want while regular Joe 2-Tallboy gets their **** packed in then stolen by criminals then their moneyforcibly taken from the government under threat of force.

    I 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.

    @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.

    @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.

    GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported

    @f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

    DAY 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 💪

    @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!

    @PalmerDesigns_ Ice fishing is actually pretty fun, bought a cheap snowmobile off Craigslist for the kids and we still spend time outside. Can’t just shut it down and stay inside gotta be a little more willing to get out. Throw on some snow shoes and try hiking, it’s actually not that bad

    @ClownWorld Well what do you call online shopping? We have a problem in the world where people steal from large corporations & others to resell the items online through hosted and self hosted sites such as WhatsApp, poshmark, eBay, micari, X, instagram, Facebook marketplaces and Craigslist.

    @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.

    @ichewthings I once adopted baby rats on Craigslist. I went inside the house. A cat came down the stairs and jumped on a chair. No less than a dozen rats then came down the stairs and jumped up after him and made a rat pile right on the cat. Cats are bros too.

    @ShabazzStuart @nytimes This issue is of the MTA's own doing. Keys for rail yards and trains have been sold on craigslist, ebay, etc for as long as I could remember (still have the set for MTA and MNR i got ages ago). They had a team meant to keep an eye on these things and seemingly they slipped up

    Everyone talks about Airbnb's Craigslist hack. The real lesson is the opposite of a hack. They flew to meet 24 users. They knocked on doors. They took photos themselves. The founders who find product-market fit fastest are the ones willing to do unscalable things until they understand exactly what's broken. Scale the insight. Not the hustle.

    @chelseavelvet Craigslist is terrible. eBay is where the humor is.

    @a16z @aleximm @santiago__rdz Depends on bus model. SAAS is likely done. Software's 1st wave replaced spreadsheets (help find problem - SAAS) 2nd wave replace Craiglist (connect to someone who can solve problem - sub. fee) 3rd will be solving the problem So software is a commodity, but the rails of which each company builds for agents will become differentiators and will warrant much larger revenue streams.

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

    @kakashiii111 Funny how watching all these people talk about shortages and high prices- and the work of @GamersNexus, no hate just referencing- say the memory issue. Maybe check out the Craigslist and FB marketplace ads by me- 4090s, 5090s, 32 to 128g ram builds cant bring $1600-1800....

    Last time a newspaper classified ad was of use to me was in 2007, when an ad in a physical copy of the Tacoma Tribune got me a new apartment. After that, Craigslist online was the go to, especially in emergency situations. Too bad they had to shut down the horny part of the site.

    @the7maxims Look for a used car online and set a price range. Also, Craigslist still exists. Lemon law is still a thing if you have issues after purchase.

  • paulmitche11

    Here 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!!

    @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
