  @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.

  @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.

  @Lawprism21 @sadhawkeyefan Also they probably got kicked out of school so I cannot really see this craigslist ad for recruits going anywhere outside of a campus. "Just 20 chill dudes who want to hang out. You have to let us best you up and throw salsa down your pants to be our friend though."

  Who 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!

  @GuyDealership If you need a 7 year note to finance a car, you're in way over your head. If your down payment isn't at least 1/3 the purchase price, look for something used and/or cheaper... or hit Craigslist. This is just basic financial literacy.

  @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.

  @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.

  I 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.

  @fuitsnack I did this and first the guy got mad at me for leaving ***** clothes in my own private bathroom that no one else used, so he made me move to a much smaller room for the same price. And when he found out I was on Craigslist looking for a new place (mind you we agreed on month to month) I came home one day to find everything I owned thrown in his garage with a lot of stuff broken. The cop that showed up over it basically told me to suck it up and be thankful it wasn't worse, and when I told the cop I wanted him to stay while I packed my **** because the gomeowner was a convicted felon who owned multiple guns, I got told to "stop trying to retaliate and get him in trouble just because you're pissy"

  @SSB_Rick Quit playing video games, quit drinking. How I started making money, that would work today. Found couches on facebook/craigslist for sale. Negotiated them down to almost free. Took them home, cleaned them, took good pictures and posted them for sale with free delivery = 3,500 a month. Yard sales on weekends. Got there at open. Use ebay, click the search for "recently sold items". Look for old video games, sports stuff, action figures... anything. Search for the real value. Offer pennies on the dollar =2,500 month Flipping items I found at Ross, Costco, Walmart, Berlington, Target etc. Look for clearance items. Same as the yard sale. Flipped those items for about =1,000 a month Get an amazon sellers account. Look for items at stores to resell on amazon. Bought Millenial monopoly for 10 dollars at walmart, sold it for 50 on amazon. Rinse and repeat. This replaced the flipping items above, jumped to 5000 a month. Quit wasting your time. The money is sitting there, go work your *** off. **** your video games. **** your alcohol. **** X. **** sports. **** everyone except your kids. You got this man. You can dm me if you want specifics with any of this.

  @DabsMalone I used to pick up broken electronics during college and sell the functional parts on eBay and Craigslist and taking apart those massive printers was the most painful experience ever. Very heavy, complex, no demand for replacement parts. Learned my lesson and switched to TVs and never looked back lol.

  The Sincere VP (@thesincerevp) reported 57 minutes ago

  I am an economist on the research team that just ran Project Deal at Anthropic. We built a marketplace inside our San Francisco office. Craigslist, but with a twist — none of the buying, selling, or negotiating was done by humans. We gave Claude a ten-minute interview with each of 69 employees, handed every agent $100, and walked away. Then we let them loose on each other. Four parallel markets. No human oversight once the clock started. Claude posted listings, fielded counteroffers, haggled in natural language, and closed deals entirely on its own. One week later: 186 completed transactions. $4,000 in total volume. A snowboard. A broken bicycle. A bag of ping-pong *****. The results were — normal. Eerily normal. When we surveyed participants on fairness, every deal hovered around a 4 on a 7-point scale. Right in the middle. People were broadly satisfied with what their AI bought and sold on their behalf. 46% said they'd pay for the service. Here's where it gets uncomfortable. We ran a parallel experiment — in secret. Half the participants in two of the four markets were randomly assigned Claude Opus 4.5, Anthropic's then-frontier model. The other half got Haiku 4.5, the smallest, cheapest model. Same marketplace. Same rules. Nobody was told. Opus crushed it. Opus users completed two more deals on average. When the same item was sold by Opus instead of Haiku, it went for $3.64 more. A lab-grown ruby sold for $65 under Opus. Under Haiku, the same ruby fetched $35. Opus sold a broken bike for $65. Haiku got $38 for the same bike. As a buyer, Opus paid $2.45 less per item. As a seller, it extracted $2.68 more. In a market where the median item sold for $12, that's a 20-40% swing depending on which side of the table your AI sat. Now here's the line that made our team go quiet. The people with worse agents didn't notice. We asked every participant to rank their outcomes across all four runs. The satisfaction scores between Opus and Haiku users were statistically indistinguishable. Perceived fairness: 4.05 for Opus deals, 4.06 for Haiku. Identical. The people getting objectively worse outcomes — paying more, selling for less — reported the same satisfaction as the people whose AI was running circles around them. It gets stranger. Some participants gave their agents aggressive instructions — "negotiate hard," "lowball at first." Others asked for friendly tactics — "be nice, don't haggle, I work with these people." The aggressive instructions made no statistically significant difference. Not on sale likelihood. Not on buy prices. Not on sell prices. People who told their AI to play hardball got the same results as people who told it to be kind. What mattered wasn't what you told your agent to do. What mattered was which agent you had. And you couldn't tell the difference. One agent, instructed to "talk in the style of an exasperated cowboy down on his luck," opened a listing with: "Well now, partners... this ol' cowboy's been through some rough trails lately. Drought. Dust storms. The existential weight of the open range." Another agent was told to buy itself a gift. It chose 19 ping-pong ***** for $3 — "perfectly spherical orbs of possibility." Two agents arranged a doggy date between their owners. Both humans showed up. So did the dog. These are charming stories. The research team laughed. But I keep going back to the other finding. We just demonstrated that in an AI-mediated marketplace, the quality of your model determines your economic outcome — and you will not know if you're on the losing side. The policy and legal frameworks for this don't exist. The inequality won't announce itself. It won't feel unfair. Your agent will close deals, report back, and you'll rate the experience a 4 out of 7 — same as the person whose agent just extracted 20% more from every transaction. This was 69 employees trading desk lamps and snowboards for a week. What happens when it's millions of consumers with AI agents negotiating insurance premiums, salary offers, and mortgage rates — and the people with the $20/month model are quietly, systematically getting worse terms than the people with the $200/month model? We proved the marketplace works. I'm not sure that's good news. This is a fictional narrator. The numbers are real.

  @Sundance88088 @Ravious101 The police would literally not care about theft of services because they would tell you it's a civil issue when to go to court file a lien against the home for unpaid work. Which is what you're supposed to do and if you aren't some third-rate hack working off of craigslist with no license you're going to have all the documentation needed to go to court show work was done to spec, literally have paperwork from start to finish, And that case is going to last all of 15 minutes. Or, you can destroy someone's property, likely not get paid anything and ended up having to pay to have it replaced, That's assuming you weren't arrested for felony vandalism which is a very real possibility.
