  @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.

  @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.

  @sarahlol1863603 @Howlingmutant0 This reminds me there used to be these craigslist ads in an area I used to live of some old geezer looking for someone to "come find me in my house already lubed up presenting my ***" etc etc. Then they took down craigslist personals.

  @sovernTranch I’ve bought quite a few Craigslist cows and some recently. A lot of them look like that when they come home. They don’t look like terrible after 90 days of some care and worming. Put down the red man chew and your self righteous ego and take care of that animal.

  3/ Miner capitulation means fire sales, bankruptcies, and S19s on Craigslist next to broken treadmills. NMT's break-even is sub-30k with debt service still covered. We buy the treadmills and run them on sunshine.

  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.

  My ADU was broken into recently and several musical instruments were stolen. So I built Vigilanthony An agent who tracks stolen items. It has a list of all my stolen items, and every morning scans online marketplaces like Craigslist and Ebay along with several **** shop sites surrounding the Austin area. It then analyzes the results and looks for matches with my item list. No hits yet but we will stay vigilant. ✊

  @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.

  In 2020 a 19 year old wholesaler sold me a house in the hood. I was convinced it was step one of a hundred million dollar real estate portfolio. I had just sold my company, DMO. First time in my life I actually had real money. Couple hundred grand in cash, the rest locked in stock with a restriction on it. I was like... this is it. Time to build a real estate portfolio. I was living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at the time. Deep in BiggerPockets forums and real estate Twitter. Reading about BRRRR strategy at 2am like it was scripture. The deal was off market. Cobbs Creek, Philly. A 19 year old kid found it, wholesaled it to me, and I thought I was getting the steal of a lifetime. The plan was drive Brooklyn to Philly every weekend during COVID, renovate it in 3 months, flip it, and use the profit to buy two more. Classic BiggerPockets math. For context I cannot build IKEA furniture.... My first contractor was a cop moonlighting as a GC. Seemed legit. Showed up in uniform sometimes. I trusted him completely. He submitted $13,000 in fake lumber receipts. When I fired him he called the city inspector about permits that he had told me we didn't need. We got shut down for 3 months. So now I'm hiring off Craigslist. Everyone's cousin can do electrical. None of them can do electrical themselves. At one point I was standing in a hole in the basement googling "what is a french drain" while two guys I found on the internet watched me. 3 months became 9 months. I went $100k+ over budget + the cash i had paid for the house, i had to take a construction loan to finish it. I had $6M in stock I couldn't touch because it was vesting. And $700 left in my checking account. I sat on the floor of my apartment and cried. The lender would take the house and I would lose everything...$250k+ of my money. One of my best friends Nat lent me $15,000. My sister lent me $10,000. I finished the renovation with borrowed money from people who loved me. Sold the house. Made $2,000~ in profit. Got all my money back out. A friend of mine who actually flips houses for a living said "holy **** you made money? Most people lose their shirt on their first flip." That messed with me.... I thought I had just survived the worst financial experience of my life. Turns out most people have it worse and you never hear about it. The graveyard of failed flips is invisible. You only see the guy on YouTube holding the check. A few months later I bought a hearing aid brand, Blue Angels Hearing. A DTC company already selling online. Sounds random. But I had spent 10+ years growing businesses on the internet. I knew paid acquisition, I knew retention, I knew how to scale a Shopify brand. That was the stuff I was actually good at. We scaled it and flipped it to private equity in 11 months. Made more money in 11 months sitting at my laptop than I did in 18 months of driving to Philly, getting scammed by a cop, and crying on a floor. But I'm not sure I pull off the hearing aid deal without Cobbs Creek. When you're $250K deep in a disaster and there's no plan and no one coming to help, you just... figure it out. One thing at a time. Break the impossible thing into tiny pieces. Chew through it. You'll be someone different on the other side. Sometimes the only way out, is through.

  @GaryCardone The patterns. I have been in bitcoin since 2009. We would use craigslist to trade. We mapped the cycles We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k BTC zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance bleeds back toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where bags get filled. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax-loss harvesting, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not a random level. That was the deep structure layer. So the question is fair: Was it only 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 BTC 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 Bitcoin gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point, Bitcoin can still be decentralized at the protocol layer while the market layer becomes controlled farming infrastructure. Bitcoin is the asset. Retail is the crop. Wall Street is trying to become the farmer.

  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.

  I was 26 and I thought I was a failure. I’d just shut down a funeral company. Before that, we were a different funeral company lol. Before that, I ran sales for a parking app. Before that, I was 22, living in Austin, renting a house on Craigslist that became another company’s headquarters because someone at that company told me to “go launch the city.” And so it was 4-5 years of not having any amount of cohesion/synergy/insert_boringcorporatewordhere. So I flew to Guatemala by myself and read a self-help book my aunt had given me. The book told me to write down what mattered to me. I wrote: making people happier. Not ending world hunger. Not curing disease. Not having "impact" Just happier. Which was nice but also useless. The book then had me map out what kind of career could allow me to run the fruits of my labor through this filter of: does this make someone happier. The content world seemed like a good starter direction. Make people laugh. Make them think. Maybe make them less bored. Then I started looking for something that helped people level up. Something that made people smarter, figuring that smarter would probably make happier moreso than something like porn, though maybe I was/am wrong. So I found a YouTube channel in LA that prided itself on making smart + funny content for millennial men. It was a B-minus business model. But I loved every second of it. And the team was exceptional. And then another friend asked if I could help him hire a head of marketing. I’d never recruited anyone, but: would helping someone get a better job make them happier? Obviously yes. So I stole an engagement letter from a friend who ran a recruiting firm, pretended I did this all the time, and three months later placed someone and got paid $30,000. Again, the filter held. Not because I had found my calling while sitting on a mountain in Guatemala but because the next thing in front of me fit the thing I had written down. Shortly after, I started taking on clients who wanted help with marketing. This wasn't fun, but I needed an income and didn’t want another boss, and, soon after our clients started asking if they could hire our international talent directly. Woah. This recruiting thing again. This thing I very much liked and was weirdly good at. Now, that’s Scale Army. It wasn’t happiness + content + leveling up + jobs magically becoming one company. It was more like: I wrote down one vague thing I cared about, and then I kept saying yes to the next thing that seemed to pass. Figure out a thing you care about. Make that your filter. Say no to everything that doesn't make the cut.

  ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU THE REAL PROBLEM. IT'S TOTAL INSANITY ACTUALLY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PUT 1300 PEOPLE INTO A HOMELESS CONCENTRATION CAMP AND CLAIM THAT ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS COME FROM DRUGS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY DECIDE IS WRONG WITH YOU WITHOUT EVER LOOKING AT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT AND THAT IS THE HOUSING SHORTAGE THAT THEY JUST CONVENIENTLY DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT 1300 HOMELESS PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THAT FACILITY? WELL THAT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH LET'S JUST TRY AND FIND EVERY ONE OF THEM THEIR OWN ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT ON CRAIGSLIST SO THEY CAN LIVE IN SALT LAKE CITY OF COURSE. DO IT.

  Most brands burn cash on flashy ads while their product pages look like 2015 Craigslist posts. Your listing copy, photos, and UX do more heavy lifting than any paid campaign ever will. Fix the foundation before you light money on fire. #ecommerce

  @LifetimeIP @JoelWBerry We bought a lot of our furniture on closeout, at goodwill, off Craigslist, in yard sales, or at BigLots. Now I have single pieces of furniture which costs more than everything totaled in our first house. Our first mattress was a 30yr old hand-me-down from the inlaws that my wife literally actually was conceived on (gross).
