Quaesitor🇧🇼 (@Quaesitor121) reported@BigDickBarclay I pay him in cash. My electrician is a dude I found on Craigslist that smokes an absurd amount of ********* and has wired my entire house above code. The building inspectors were genuinely impressed by his work I'm a carpenter. I can come and go and fix surprisingly...

Some Guy (@randy_marsh97) reported@KeysRetired @GlennPurcell2 Craigslist should get you way more. Just make sure you know how to filter out the future problem buyers who are so dumb they think you’re a dealer despite zero evidence supporting such a theory and they you are obligated to give them lemon law protections. Hence, we trade in solely to avoid the riffraff and ease the sales tax due on the new car.

Travis Hendricks (@TanookiTravis) reported@Grummz If your wife asked you to break down the million dollars you made this year, you probably wouldn't mention the used toaster you sold on Craigslist, because it wouldn't be worth the time. Their gaming revenue is a single used toaster to them now.

Burner Jay (@BurnerJayHarris) reported@BeardoTrader No problem that’ll just be $20k on craigslist
-
Backwards World (@Backwards_W0rld) reported@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.

Tyrin The Body (@TyrinLeeXXX) reportedStory time 😈 pt 1 When i was 16 i gave my *** up for the first time for the first time to some guy I met on Craigslist. I labeled my ad as 18yr virgin hole and I included pictures. After gettin what felt like a million hits I finally settle on one. We exchanged emails and eventually texts. I explained I was a virgin and looking to take **** for the first time. He had big **** and was obviously older (at the time mid 40s) He walked me through douching via text. I remember using my Gatorade bottle from my high-school gym bag lol to clean out. Which was easy cuz I had my own bathroom in the basement (perks of being the oldest lol). My bedroom was in the basement so I would sneak out of my house through the window, pushed the car out of the drive way so It didn't make noise when I started it lol. It was about 130 am when I finally got to his house. He lived about but about 30 minutes away. I remember being so scared as I got out of my car walking up to the door of his house cuz it was Hella dark. He opened it without coming outside and I walked in. He guided me through through the house, we eventually got to a door which lead to the basement. We go down the stairs and I remember seeing an entire set up, blue lights, music, giant *** bed and giant *** mirror in front. I remember sitting on the bed. He told me to get down and come over to him, as I walk over he drops his pants and told me to suck his ****. And which i did. I remember thinking his **** was much bigger and harder then my friends (we would sometimes jerk each other in the bathroom at school during lunch). About 10 minutes goes by and he tells me to get on the bed but get on all 4s. I started tk sweat slightly cuz i was getting nervous and I remember telling him again that I was brand new to all this. Telling me to just relax, he guided my body to an all 4 position with my *** literally hanging off the bed I was thinking i was gonna fall. He then gave me a bottle (poppers) and told me to sniff lightly. I remember getting the biggest headache and then just just laid my head and chest on the bed cuz **** was spinning. *** still up, he began to eat my hole. Never in my life feeling that sensation immediately tensed up. Things still spinning but slightly less, he tells me to lightly sniff again and then lay back down head and chest to the bed. So I did and he began to eat my hole. Now I'm feeling the euphoria of it all and he begins telling me to push out. I remember being confused and asking what do you mean, he stops and he said verbatim "push like your taking a ****" He hands me the bottle, I sniff and push. I remember literally feeling his tongue slide in and out of my hole. So for about 15 minutes so I'm *** up while he "prepped" me. Then he turned me on my back and dragged me to the edge of the bed. He put a pillow under my lower back and told me to sniff lightly like I've been doing. Now getting a good look at him, I realized this was definitely an older man, but we are so far in and hes clearly into what we are doing so I brushed the idea out of my head. Still slightly being out of it from the poppers, he tells to sniff and push out. I remember feeling the head of his **** on my hole and was hard and pulsating. I remember getting hard and he started to suck my ****. Only for a slight moment and quickly became brick. Once back to position, he then told me to sniff and push. Which I did. Once I felt the head of his **** penetrate me I immediately tensed up. Him talking me through it just said relax, sniff, and push. So I attempted to relax and did as I was told. Once the head was in, it was slight movement until I felt relaxed. He stroked my hole with the head slowly and repeatedly till I opened up which didnt take long after hitting those poppers. After a few minutes he told me I was ready and he went all the way in. I remember squirming in pain for about 1 minute till it just stopped. Then pure pleasure.

Chris Dalke (@chris_dalke) reported@KennethCassel @zanehengsperger The main problem I have with this is the only time I ever need cash is for a sketchy Craigslist purchase of a boat or something

Wednesday GenericPanic (@WednesdayGenpan) reportedI 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….

Ologwa (@ologwa) reported@SolaTheAnalyst Got a 75inch TV from best buy for $1200. Couldnt sleep at night thinking 1.4m naira for TV. I took my phone, opened craigslist, saw same 75inch 4k TV someone wanted to sell for $400. I chatted the person, went to pickup, pull down my $1200 TV and went to collect my $1200.

Safe and Effective (@AproximatDemise) reported@trentjhughes I think someone just needs to build a real life looking for group app. Let people post in the most unfiltered sense what they're looking to do. Not a Meetup clone, boiled down like 2000's Craigslist. Only stipulation is there's no free version and you have to be verified.

Chip Haze (@ChipHaze) reported@SkinnyfatTony @lortunder I had to jump jobs in 2020. Couldn't get robots chips or anything. We were down to buying secondhand parts from craigslist. I built robotic welding machines. We had POs we could deliver on because of Covid. A great company gone

Psychotic Technique (@CyQoTek) reported@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....

OTROVERT🔴⚪️ (@OLUDAVID_D) reportedA young Swedish woman, who described herself as having extraordinary beauty and extremely seductive charms posted an anonymous ad on Craigslist stating that she was looking for a wealthy man to marry with an annual income of over $500,000, plus several conditions. She received a response from a commenter, as follows: - My dear beautiful lady... I read your post with interest, and I think many beautiful girls have questions similar to yours. Allow me to analyze your questions as a professional investor. My total annual income is over $500,000, which perfectly matches your requirements. From my perspective as a businessman, it would be a bad decision to marry you. Here's my short answer, and let me explain why: "Regardless of the details, what you're doing now is a pure transaction. An exchange of your "beauty" for "my money." Person A has the beauty, and Person B will pay money for that beauty. A perfectly fair and straightforward transaction. However, there's a fatal problem here: your beauty will inevitably diminish over the years, while my money isn't expected to diminish without a strong reason. The truth is, my income will likely increase from year to year, while you won't be any more beautiful in a few years. So, from an economic perspective, I represent an "asset" whose value increases over time, while you represent a "consumer" asset whose value decreases. If your beauty is all you own, things will get worse because you won't be a normal consumer product, but rather a product with a very high depreciation rate that will completely expire within 10 years.

Redacted (@theKageRyu) reported@desert_starr_57 It's the same with Offerup, Letgo, and craigslist. Though despite the same issues, I did get decent results from Letgo up until Offerup bought them out and tanked the platform I stated right in my posts "Stupid Questions and lowball offers will be ignored and users blocked."
-
True Truth Teller (@TTT_1776) reported@HappyMotorhead I remember seeing those Supra's everywhere on Craigslist for around $1,500 in running condition. Albeit it was around 20 years ago, lol.. Look up what they cost now.. I would still take the Chevelle, But I would NOT turn down the Supra if given the chance.
-
Infamous (@InfamousMaxx) reported@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.

chrissy (@Dumplin20115021) reported@donjackoghue What makes sniffies work is there is no boundary whatsoever in the level of depravity allowed. I cannot see that not changing with new investors. And then we will all quit using it. There was this awkward period with nothing like sniffies. Craigslist closed down. It took years.

jade (@jaddee_exe) reported@LunaInfernale something that my coworker thought about and told me was a Craigslist/ Facebook marketplace esc game. just buy **** boxes and stupid **** and fix it up
-
Daeron Myers (@IAMDAERONMYERS) reported"I need a box truck to make real money." Nah. I started in a car after my 9-to-5. Saved $2,200 in courier work. Bought a cargo van off Craigslist. Then a box truck. Your vehicle is not the problem.

United Fireworks (@unitedfireworks) reportedBuy Right, Avoid Fireworks Scams Fireworks sales scams often spike around the Fourth of July, featuring fake websites, illegitimate online marketplaces (Facebook, Craigslist), and fraudulent "clearance" deals. Scammers often demand cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle/Venmo, providing no contact info. Inspect products for fake "safe and sane" seals and avoid unlicensed roadside stands. Common Fireworks Sales Scams: Fake Social Media: Scammers create social media posts advertising cheap fireworks or "after-holiday" clearances, specifically stealing payment information. Illegal Online Marketplaces: Fraudulent sellers operate on platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, often selling illegal or nonexistent products. Misleading Product Packaging: Products may be disguised, such as canister shells packaged to look like different, or sometimes, lower-quality items. Counterfeit "Safe and Sane" Seals: Sellers may use fake, non-genuine safety seals, particularly on fireworks that are illegal in certain areas. Unlicensed Roadside Stands: Temporary, un-permitted stands may sell illegal or dangerous products. How to Avoid Scams Verify Sellers: Only buy from reputable, known fireworks retailers. Secure Payment Methods: Avoid paying with cryptocurrency, gift cards, or apps like Zelle, which offer little protection for fraud. Check Local Laws: Ensure the fireworks are legal in your area; illegal fireworks are often sold via illicit channels. Avoid "Too Good To Be True" Deals: Extremely low prices or "exclusive" sales are red flags. Inspect Before Buying: Check for legitimate packaging and seals. Further insight into potential scams associated with larger vendors, consumers have reported issues with high minimum spend requirements for discounts as under covered by Ed Haury of United Fireworks.

John Mac (@JohnMcCart87216) reported@StefanMolyneux My car was broken into, my wallet and music gear was stolen, and listed on craigslist and the seller included his address (across the street from me), and I had two gas station videos of him using my credit card --- the cops said THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW UP.

Paul Speaker (@fattailedstat) reported@ModeledBehavior I stopped using FB Marketplace and went back to using Craigslist. I have had too many experiences with rude people on FB Marketplace, and that hasn't been an issue (mostly) on Craigslist.

ludwig (@ludwigABAP) reportedwhatever specs that would sell for 400-500usd max, as this is to unfortunately torture it in incomprehensible ways so I dont wanna buy anything too specced out fb marketplace and craigslist are barren unless I wanna go back down to Palo Alto
-
Area503 (@RealArea503) reported@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.

Night of the living Possum Simp (@possum_simp) reported@goddammitsarah @turntineforwhat it continued on craigslist till that was shut down

Presumably Humor 🌎 (@OXHarryH1) reported@jogo_bonito00 @JPalmer98_ Fair but fewer on Zillow. The problem ones (scams/fake) congregate on Craigslist. The biggest one is obviously the credit check trolls. Really grim for low income renters.

lala ✨ (@LakeShowLala) reportedWhen I was 19 I moved to California with someone off Craigslist because the @lakers were down 0-3 to Dallas in the western conference finals and I was certain if I touched LA ground they would come back. (They didn’t)
