  • 0429JJU JUJU.🫀 (@0429JJU) reported

    Ofc our washer and dryer broke down. Back to facebook market & craigslist i go

  • JacobTuckerREI Jacob 🚀 (@JacobTuckerREI) reported

    @lyemcfly Sounds like this bill is written similar to the Nebraska one where they don’t want equitable interest being publicly marketed.. Like ok? Who the hell is still publicly marketing deals on facebook, craigslist, etc in 2022. Put down EMD, market in private and boom, you’re in there.

  • kfit288 kfit288 (@kfit288) reported

    @stacycay Where you meeting people on Craigslist. Thought they shut all that down

  • Tim19169895 Harry Peratestes (@Tim19169895) reported

    @aroad1234 Its not worth the risk. See if you can source another rim locally or try Craigslist. My brother had a Benz sedan with low profile tires and this was a chronic problem for him. Our crap CA highways have a lot of potholes tho. Good luck

  • PugMafia66 Toby Nelson (@PugMafia66) reported

    @nohomelikeplace A few years ago we had a sick puppy bite a vet tech. The puppy passed away so they sent in a sample to the CDC. He was positive for rabies. He was part of a litter given away on Craigslist. They had to track all the people who had the puppies down. It was a mess.

  • SEpicArmando DR.? (@SEpicArmando) reported

    What is that about marketing? Huh? What ((autocomplete)) is the first time I saw your ad on Craigslist and I am not sure if you have any questions or need any further information please login to your kingdom of God and the younger generation of the email I sent you a call from>>

  • RockettPowered Taure David Rockett (@RockettPowered) reported

    Checking Craigslist twice instead of once actually yielded results there's a high-school doing a rummage sale and they specifically advertised selling Guitar Hero stuff. What consoles? What games? Who knows. I'm getting down there.

  • dooyoocanoodle Ooh la la la🦊🦋 (@dooyoocanoodle) reported

    @BillyM2k @elonmusk @waitbutwhy How do we create trustworthy info sources? Maybe smthg the public feels involved in would help- ie rather than "news channels", have "problems-to-be-solved channels". Anyone can offer ideas, resources, etc. Then channels report progress/outcomes. Like Craigslist but for news

  • picklehomer Pickle Horse-Man Would Never Lie To You (@picklehomer) reported

    @nascentwisp I have four rats right now. I found Romeo on Craigslist after I *AHEM* dropped down to 3 rats. Romeo was 5.5 months when I adopted him. Romeo probably hasn't seen another rat since the time he was purchased as a baby. And I don't know how much interaction he got from humans.

  • srhjdvs Sarah (@srhjdvs) reported

    I got my dog for $50 off Craigslist ten years ago because his family didn’t want him anymore and now he steals toys out of my baby’s toy basket and crams himself into the rocking chair with us when it’s time to put her down for naps I’m crying in the club

  • TheRoselleWay TessaLights💛💙 (@TheRoselleWay) reported

    @ielusivemusei Craigslist is where all the scams go down. Avoid craigslist like the plague that it is. Use Zillow, Trulia, and HotPads and if you’re not sure about something check with me and I’ll check for you.

  • LowestOctave A Deep Rumbling (@LowestOctave) reported

    @neontaster You have to figure the value is pressed down by having everyone's grab bag contents on LA craigslist like the next day

  • dp1kinobe D&D Trader (@dp1kinobe) reported

    @prrobbins you have yet another imposter... This problem is getting out of control... @Twitter is going to end up in the trailer park with #Craigslist

  • CathyReisenwitz Cathy Reisenwitz (12/100 sketches) (@CathyReisenwitz) reported

    @neoglobalist I’m sure it’s tricky but it’s also the entire job. If they can’t do it they should quit & disband. But I don’t think the problem is that it’s hard. This American Life just interviewed a guy who started finding stolen bikes the police couldn’t hope to find by searching craigslist

  • dsongeth dsong.eth (@dsongeth) reported

    Someone sold me a broken nutribullet on Craigslist for $30 and I didn’t check if it worked until later. Seriously people

  • heavensgatevev0 jac bot (@heavensgatevev0) reported

    just saw a bmw 2002 with rust issues on craigslist for $27k

  • it_me_jvo Jacob (@it_me_jvo) reported

    @capndesign I bought Briggs and Riley luggage second hand for very cheap on CraigsList. They have a lifetime warranty so I take it to a luggage repair shop down the road anytime I have a problem and they fix it for free, no problem.

  • jack22012426 jack (@jack22012426) reported

    Craigslist connect: looking for an engaged blonde with depression issues. Met at the bar and she had to borrow my sapphire card because she’s very very poor. Black hat, blue jeans and white blouse. If u know her let her know jack is waiting

  • DanceMomAndrew HealthCarePlease (@DanceMomAndrew) reported

    the slow realization that all i've ever wanted to do is pick up free stuff from craigslist and make chicken coops or greenhouses out of it

  • SnarlieCharlie charlie (@SnarlieCharlie) reported

    @panzieman Not fostering per say, I'm talking abt people finding petstore/craiglist finds (dogs, cats, exotics) just to keep them a while and quickly rehome/sell them again bc they can't manage all of them. Which is fine, the part I take issue with is continuing to get more after that.

  • Wraki4 WrakiDC (@Wraki4) reported

    i swear a couple of years ago you could find decent deals on craigslist for gear; now everyone is trying to sell used mediocre stuff at new or higher prices—or is running some hilariously transparent scam…did the pandemic cause this, or is it a supply chain/scarcity issue, or…?

  • BONH_Coalition Bring Our Neighbors Home ⚖ (@BONH_Coalition) reported

    Next speaker lost a friend to fentanyl poisoning. Wants distributors to be tracked down, says drugs are advertised on SnapChat, Craigslist & other platforms.

  • taniarascia Tania (@taniarascia) reported

    @swyx @therobhrt I've sold several Macs and never had a problem. Most recently, I just wiped my last one and gave it to a family member, but you can easily get $800-$1000 on Craigslist for a 2019 Mac, if not more.

  • issamikey Mikey (Resolxtion) (@issamikey) reported

    @OfficialVoro @juicelegend I’ve been posting on Facebook and Craigslist to find some work to do but haven’t gotten any responses. And like I said if I didn’t need to pay bills like rent phone money for bus for work it wouldn’t be an issue. But thanks for the feedback I obviously already know 💯💯

  • danfarina Daniel Farina (@danfarina) reported

    @byJoshuaDavis Can they? Seems like a good way to get into trouble with the law via the bank finding your fraud claims suspicious. But, I wouldn’t use it for large transactions on Craigslist, as it’s much like a check.

  • VeganLandlord The Vegan Landlord (@VeganLandlord) reported

    @LazyBossUSA Not at all. I worked for years at my 9-5 job before I was able to save up the down payment for my first property, which was a single family home that I shared with roommates I found on Craigslist.

  • SamGichuru Sam Gichuru 😊🇰🇪 (@SamGichuru) reported

    "Airbnb is praised for exploiting a vulnerability on Craigslist with a bot impersonating a human and automatically spamming property owners at Craigslist through email messages. This strategy worked before Craigslist shut it down but it had built Airbnb's initial customers."

  • happifydesign 😷 happify 😷 (@happifydesign) reported

    @NilaJones3 Actually, this might be a problem of shopping secondhand, without the "official descriptions." Kinda like seeing "chester drawers" for sale on Craigslist. I'm going to wear my non-standard communication like a badge of emissions reduction pride.
