  I hired a plumber off of craigslist to change some seals on my kitchen sinks, and convert the S trap to a proper P trap. But the drainage pipe does not go into the wall, it goes directly down. Dude claimed to be a master plumber with 15 years of experience….

  @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....

  A marketplace in Colombia cannot just copy Craigslist or Zillow. The culture of buying, renting, and selling here is different all the way down. #Colombia #LatinAmerica

  Portuguese dystopia in one image: the country celebrates a platform that sends ridiculous lowball offers on OLX (Portugal’s main classifieds site, similar to Craigslist) as if that would solve anything, while getting a building permit in Lisbon takes 36 months, there’s a chronic shortage of construction workers, public housing is 2% of the stock (EU average: 15%) and the government just added another 7,5% IMT for foreign buyers that will be passed on to the next Portuguese buyer down the chain. Price is the symptom. The real problem is supply strangled for a decade by red tape, labor shortages and zero public investment, while foreign demand was turbocharged with NHR, Golden Visa and negative Euribor. Liking TikTok videos is easier than demanding by-right permitting, an end to municipal discretion and lower taxes on those who actually build.

  @250_Revolution @gameshowhost6 They were hunting down people who sold stuff at yard sales or on Craigslist.

  Americans in the cities just go to the store and buy a new one, sell the old one on FB or Craigslist or eBay. Some call a repair guy. Most of rural America can fix anything with w/e is in the utensil drawer.

  I once knew a guy who had such a vendetta against Facebook that he made a sockpuppet account with a girl’s name to make Marketplace purchases with a whole story about how he was “picking up stuff for his sister.” He was also anti-Craigslist and had trust issues with everyone.

  @gatorgar This can be humor, but objectively speaking there is no greeter betrayal than what meta did to local classifieds. You literally can't sell anything if you've got in trouble once for a post. I wish craigslist was still the main community resale site

  @malovvave I'll give them a pass on this one just because if you've ever sold a vehicle on Craigslist or FB Marketplace it's like wading into a conglomeration of short bus graduates. So I'll pretend he's waiting for someone not crazy and then will walk down to a reasonable price.

  @Hot_Pepper76 It's happened since the internet began. Sites served a purpose like craigslist for example then scammer ruin it, cause the sites to pay so much trying to keep it clean they have to constantly change things, it's hard to keep anything free. They have to shove so many ads down your throat just to make enough to keep site going. I was on youtube to watch some video on how to fix something. I click to the link to watch & 2 30 second sds right away then vid starts & immediately back to same two ads. They get done and the guy on the vid starts with 20 min useless talk how he first got started with this & every minute is interrupted with ads. So damn annoying, these people just talk & talk & talk to keep you there to get more ads before they get to the actual subject you came for. Thankfully it's not nearly that bad when listening to music on there... Yet !

  @missenterry1 @poojeetstreet I used to refurbish electronics and build computer systems to sell on Craiglist. Hundreds of sales. I simply didn't sell to them. Chinese as well. They aren't much better. If the voice on the phone was broken English, I hung up and blocked.

  @lalalvsz @eternallyevii Maybe check your local marketplace (Facebook, Craigslist, etc) I’ve found some cheaper ones that just really need to be wiped down

  @GravityDarkAge No one said they did. There is no indication where this file came from. I am guessing it was in the "UAP" folder on the JWICS server.. sort of like a secure version of craigslist for DOD/IC folks.

  @eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.

  @CarolinaLion2 but wait...10 minutes ago you said the average price of a house is $516k. You're starting to sound like a craiglist ad for a motorcycle. Wait long enough and the price will come down to reality.

  @redumbrellaclub Absolutely! Remember when craigslist and ******** got shut down, and people lost their income overnight? Well guess what that’s not happening on Facebook and Instagram they’re randomly shutting accounts down for no reason and people are losing their money.🫠

  @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.

  @TeamRetrogue @gamestop I've done a charge back on gamestop for selling me a broken disc and refusing to refund it. They have some of the worst customer service, and worse employees working there. Craigslist is more reliable than @gamestop these days. That's not even a joke.

  Andros (@0xAndros) reported 45 minutes ago

  What a lot of people didn't know is that @samparr started 15+ businesses before selling @TheHustle for $40M. Here's how he ranks the best business models in the new AI world: S : Marketplaces "Probably the hardest to start, but the most durable." He points to Craigslist and eBay : once you get density (buyers + sellers in the same place), it's nearly impossible for a competitor to unseat you. The moat is the network effect itself. Hardest cold-start problem, but the payoff is a business that lasts decades. A : Agencies / Service Businesses "You have to deal with a lot of people issues, but they're great to start." His point is that agencies aren't the end goal :they're the learning machine. You service clients, learn their pain points intimately, and then use that intel to build products (software, courses, tools). The pivot optionality is the real value. AI systems also makes it much easier to scale agencies/services now A : Software "Anything that's really hard to get into will last probably a bit longer than another business." Public markets are discounting software right now because of AI, but his argument is that for most people there's still difficulty of entry, which equals durability. If it's hard to build, it's hard to kill. B : Events (B2B) "A lot of people are going to disagree with this." He specifically calls out B2B trade shows, less so consumer events (though Coachella made $200M+ in revenue just in 2026) There are event businesses doing hundreds of millions in revenue, very profitably. The key is B2B: you're selling access to a concentrated buyer audience, not $30 tickets. B : Media He owned The Hustle, so this is personal. "If you raise venture capital, it's going to be an F : the worst business you can have." But if you own the whole thing and run it long-term, great business. The split is ownership structure, not the model itself. VC expectations destroy media companies; bootstrap economics make them work. C : Info / Course Business He owns "copy that dot com"). "They can be great cash flow, but they're never going to be worth a lot and they're not going to scale to be very big." The ceiling is the problem. You'll make money, you just won't build generational wealth from it. C : Community He owns @HamptonFounders . "People are pain in the butt, but it's very fulfilling and it can last for 50 or 100 years." The tradeoff: constant member churn vs. extreme longevity if you keep delivering value. D : Middleman / Broker His dad owns a brokerage. "It's been an amazing living for him, but generally those are pretty hard because the margins are so small." The video about his dad's business went super viral, but the reality is razor-thin margins make it a grind. Works for one person's lifestyle, hard to scale. E/F : E-commerce "In most cases, I think that's probably the worst business model." No cash flow, tons of competition. This is the default trap most first-time entrepreneurs fall into. The through-line: durability and defensibility matter more than margins. The S and A tiers are all businesses with structural moats (network effects, switching costs, expertise). The D and F tiers are commodity businesses where you're always one competitor away from irrelevance.
