  @WexitPepe Otherwise the stuff would go to the junkyard to it’s still worth it for me. Facebook marketplace or Craigslist are the only other viable options and there are 2 major issues: 1) geographical constraints I.E. limited market 2) Everyone wants your stuff for free so you end up lowering the price just to move it. Having sold significant amounts on all platforms I prefer eBay for the smaller hard to sell locally stuff.

  @mexigreekmom74 Check out FB Market Place, OfferUp, and don't dismiss Craigslist. Even if its free and not running ask questions because it could be a simple fix from an appliance repairman. You'd be surprised how many people give away a good appliance that may only need a new belt for about $75 for a new $300+ machine.

  @BrandyLJensen I got shut out of marketplace weeks ago due to some age verification glitch that I've submitted a problem report for like half a dozen times and am told it will take 48 hours to resolve. 3 weeks later.... And my only option is still craigslist.

  7 HIGH-PRESSURE SITUATIONS GOLDEN HIPPO PUT ME THROUGH IN 10 YEARS 1) Every brand was banned from all ad networks at the same time. Revenue on the front end went to zero. People were wondering if we'd have to shut the company down. That's when I found out I do my best work when things are actually on fire, not when it's a drill. 2) I made my first $1M/month during that crisis. Before that, I didn't think email was exciting. I was excited about the revenue number, not the channel. I didn't understand what email could actually do until it was the only thing left standing between us and closing. 3) The higher-ups noticed, and changed how they ran the whole team because of it. What I did under pressure became the new expectation for everyone else. That was the first time I saw performance turn into policy. 4) We built an entire brand, filming, backend, everything, and the front end just never took off. We walked away. Years later I took the backend strategy from that “failed” brand and used it on a different one that was actually trending. The month I spent on the first one wasn't wasted. It just paid off late. 5) They handed a small team a brand they'd basically given up on, told us to just play with it, and nicknamed it The Sandbox. It's now one of their most profitable brands, and most people don't even know it's theirs. 6) Less than a year into my marketing career, I built a product testing program from scratch, starting with people I recruited off Craigslist to try products and answer surveys. I had no business running something modeled after a medical study. It evolved into the system they still run today. It became core to how they validate products before launch. 7) For years I couldn't let go of any brands I had already optimized. I thought it was faster to just do things myself than teach someone else how. They kept pulling me off writing and putting me on copy chief instead, training other writers rather than producing the copy myself. It felt like a demotion from the thing I was actually good at. What I didn't see yet was that every hour I spent training someone made me need them less later, not more.

  Every ******* time. I swear Facebook Marketplace needs a special button somewhere between "Message Seller" and "Is This Available?" that simply says: "This has absolutely ****-all to do with me, so I'll keep scrolling." Apparently, however, that level of self-control remains beyond a surprisingly large percentage of the population. I'm currently selling several tactical backpacks, operator attachés and patrol bags. They are brand new, most are still in the original packaging with the tags attached, and I'm selling them for less than their normal retail price. Some of them I originally acquired through BOGO promotions. Others I bought individually. Enter Fucknuts McGinty, Marketplace Economic Correspondent and apparently self-appointed Guardian of Other People's Transactions: "You can get two of them for that price from their website." First of all... No, you ******* can't. The price I'm asking is about $40 LESS than what you'd currently pay for the equivalent purchase. But even if you could, allow me to introduce you to a revolutionary concept apparently absent from whatever remedial economics course you attended: A BOGO promotion does not mean the second item has no value. It means I bought one item at full retail price and received another item as part of the transaction. Now I own both. They're mine. I can keep them. I can give one to a friend. I can donate one to charity. I can fill one with ******* jellybeans and bury it in the garden as a time capsule. Or... And stay with me here because this is where **** gets complicated... I can sell it. What I paid for an item has absolutely ****-all to do with what that item is worth to somebody else. If I buy something for $100 and the store gives me another one as part of a promotion, that does not magically require me to give the second one away. I'm offering someone the opportunity to buy a brand-new item for less than the normal retail price without having to spend the additional money required to qualify for whatever promotion happened to exist when I bought it. Buyer saves money. I recover some money. Everybody involved in the transaction benefits. Nobody is being deceived. Nobody is being ripped off. No laws are being broken. Capitalism continues functioning. The Earth remains in orbit. Civilization somehow survives another ******* day. Which brings me to the part I genuinely don't understand: Why ******** do some people feel compelled to complain about transactions they have absolutely no intention of participating in? Don't like my price? Don't buy it. Think you've found it cheaper somewhere else? Buy it there. Already own seventeen of the ******* things? Congratulations. Keep scrolling. There are literally thousands of other Marketplace listings available for you to look at. Yet somehow there is always that one miserable bastard who apparently cannot make it through his day without finding SOMETHING, somewhere, involving complete strangers, that he can ***** and whine about. The truly remarkable part is that my selling this bag has precisely ZERO effect on his life. I didn't knock on his door. I didn't empty his bank account. I didn't hold his dog hostage until he bought a tactical backpack. I posted an item for sale. That's it. Somebody wants it at my asking price, they buy it. Somebody doesn't want it at my asking price, they don't. This incredibly sophisticated economic system has successfully operated at yard sales, flea markets, gun shows, classified ads, eBay, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for ******* decades. Yet apparently we're still struggling with: "If you don't want the ******* thing, don't buy the ******* thing." There. I've just condensed several centuries of free-market economics into twelve words. You're ******* welcome.

  @Kintakus @RobotPerson78 I hear the cost for escorts has gone up from $25 per hand as was on Craigslist to $100k on 𝕏 or 60k if in San Francisco. As long as can afford it and not fording someone unwilling to do it and threaten them with guns and extortion probably can do and gets you in trouble for hiring escorts if not CEO or billionaire as extra risk

  @MathewLight17 Depending on your state my mom's husband could fix it or my husband could fix it or you could try watching YouTube videos to fix it. Looks rough. Craigslist sometimes offers free building materials which could help if anything good is available in your area.

  Almost five years ago, I started searching for a dog. I found a Craigslist post from a family rehoming their late father’s German Shepherds. He’d been a *******. The dogs needed homes. I went there for a specific female. But she was already gone. They introduced me to her sister — Sabrina. Thin, shut down, unsure of everything. Still, I couldn’t walk away. Something in her still reached for connection, even through fear. She came home with me that day. Now, she’s ten years old — but still acts like a pup. Loves the river. Hikes. Long naps in the sun. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. I didn’t just rescue her. She met me where I was and pulled me forward.

  @Ilegvm An oldie but goodie response to her This Article is From Mar 26, 2014 Pretty girl in search of rich husband gets reality check from 'J P Morgan CEO' New Delhi: Some years ago, a 25-year-old gold-digger in search of a rich husband stuck her neck out on Craigslist New York asking for tips on landing Mr Moneybags. Ms Pretty, as she called herself, was rewarded by a letter from someone claiming to be the CEO of J P Morgan (never verified) containing a pill so bitter that she took herself and her post off Craigslist. The internet being what it is, however, has kept Ms Pretty's plea and the businesslike deconstruction of her worth as a rich man's potential mate alive and in social media circulation. Seven years after Ms Pretty slunk away tail between legs, the supposed J P Morgan CEO's advice still holds good for others of her tribe. It's also really funny. Ms Pretty's quest to cash in: I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: 1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym) 2) Which age group should I target? 3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys. 4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married) Ms. Pretty The answering salvo: Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here. From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money" : Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income.This has better chance than finding a rich fool. Hope this reply helps. signed, J.P. Morgan CEO

  Bought a broken Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for three grand once. The previous owner swore the hybrid battery was dead and priced it like scrap. A fifty-dollar charger and twenty minutes online said otherwise. Everyone else read the headline on that listing. I ran the actual number underneath it, and that's the whole difference between what happened with the Fed today and what happens at your own dealership every time. Friday's issue breaks down this week's freshest price record next to who can actually still afford to buy it.

  Moved to Tokyo, got a roommate through Craigslist. Japanese guy, 28, seemed normal. His girlfriend came over sometimes. She was... quiet. Barely said hi. Month 3: I noticed she was there ALL the time. Like, I'd wake up, she's there. Come home late, she's there. Me: Hey man, is she moving in? Should we split rent three ways? Roommate: weird look, What? Me: Your girlfriend. She's here every day. Roommate: I don't have a girlfriend. Me: The girl who's here right now. In your room. Roommate: No one's in my room. I opened his door. Empty. Me: She was literally here this morning. Roommate: Dude, I think you're seeing things. I let it go. Maybe I was tired. Month 4: I saw her again. Making tea in the kitchen. 3 AM. Me: Hey. Her: looks at me, smiles, goes into his room Next morning: Me: Your girlfriend made tea last night. Roommate: slams his mug down, I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. Me: Then who the hell is the woman in our apartment?! Roommate: There's no woman! I took a photo next time I saw her. Showed him. He went pale. Roommate: Where did you get this? Me: I took it. Yesterday. She was here. Roommate: hands shaking, That's my ex. Me: Okay, so why'd you say... Roommate: She's been dead for two years. Me: WHAT. Roommate: She died in a car accident. We broke up a week before it happened. Me: Then who ******** is in our apartment?! Roommate: I don't know! We checked security footage from the building. No one ever came in. But on MY phone, clear as day, there's a photo of a woman in our kitchen. We called a priest. Priest: walks through apartment Priest: There's no spirit here. Me: Then explain the photo! Priest: looks at photo Priest: That's a living person. Roommate: She's DEAD. I went to her funeral! Priest: I'm telling you. That's not a ghost. We hired a private investigator. Two weeks later: Investigator: Your ex didn't die. Roommate: Yes she did. I SAW her body. Investigator: You saw someone's body. Not hers. Roommate: What?! Investigator: She faked her death. Insurance fraud. She's been living in Saitama. Me: THEN WHY IS SHE BREAKING INTO OUR APARTMENT?! Investigator: slides over more photos She had a KEY. She'd been coming in while we were both at work, going through our stuff. Roommate: Why?! Investigator: She was looking for this. shows document It was a life insurance policy. With HIM as the beneficiary. She faked her death. Collected ¥15 million. But forgot he was listed on an ADDITIONAL policy she'd taken out before they broke up. If he ever claimed it, she'd be caught. So she was breaking in trying to find the policy to destroy it. Me: THIS IS INSANE. Roommate: I'm calling the police. Investigator: Already did. They're picking her up today. Next week: She was arrested. ¥15 million recovered. Roommate got ¥8 million from the second policy. Me: What are you gonna do with the money? Roommate: Move out. This apartment is cursed. Me: She wasn't a ghost! Roommate: Doesn't matter. I can't sleep here anymore. He moved. I stayed. Sometimes I still hear someone making tea at 3 AM. But now I just check the locks.

  A solo dev opened Flutter, spent 3 weeks on it, and shipped a ride-hail app a casual user couldn't tell apart from Uber. Yellow branding. Live map. GoabX, GoabXL, GoabBike tiers with prices. Visa 4242 on file. Home, Work, Airport saved. "Confirm GoabX" button. The whole flow. Pause at 0:08. Look at the split screen. Simulator on the right running the sign-up screen. auth_screen.dart on the left — the actual Flutter source with _Chip extending StatelessWidget, _CircleBtn wrapping a GestureDetector, BoxDecoration in black and white, Icon at 17.sp. That's not a mockup. That's a shipped auth flow. What the clone has: → Flutter frontend, one codebase, iOS and Android at once → Google Maps + custom route rendering → Ride-tier chips (X / XL / Bike) → Card-on-file with Visa masking → Google + Apple + Facebook social login stubs What the clone doesn't have: → 5 million active drivers → Regulatory clearance in 10,000 cities → A $60 billion payout rail already routed → Insurance underwriters who approved the safety model → Every dispute-resolution playbook Uber wrote from 2012 to now That's the entire product. Here's what nobody in the "just clone it" space is saying out loud: the interface was never Uber's moat. The moat is a two-sided marketplace with 5 million drivers who show up at 3 AM when you tap a button. You can build the button in Flutter in 3 weeks. You can't build the 5 million drivers in 3 lifetimes. The old loop is dead: study successful app → clone the frontend → deploy on the App Store → wonder where the users went. The new loop: study successful app → identify the offline-supply moat → build the supply first → treat the app as the last 5%. The point worth arguing about: the hardest part of building an Uber isn't Uber. It's convincing a stranger with a car to log in on Tuesday at 3 AM when it's raining. Everything else is a Figma file. I know a founder who spent 18 months writing beautiful marketplace code and shipped to zero drivers. Meanwhile a friend of mine ran Craigslist ads for 2 weeks, found 40 house cleaners in one city, matched them with 60 buyers, took 15%. He didn't need a Flutter app. He had a Google Form. The interface is free. The supply is the whole company. Literally.

  @Rationale_Male No it's not. I used to run with a whole gaggle of knuckleheads from poor and broken homes. 1 is in prison. The cousins he was raised with are both dead. Some are alcoholics and burnouts who are 30 to 40 years old still living with their parents. The ones that are ok are divorced, sometimes 2x over, or living lives of service doing charity work for troubled kids through churches. The few determiners between me and everyone else I grew up with is slightly more money ( I was lower to middle middle class) and the fact I had a two parent home. Where as most of my friends grew up in poverty , raised by single moms , or an aunt in one case. Or by an alcoholic step mom in another case. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone I was friends with. I wouldn't trade the outcomes or lessons learned between me and them either And given the account I'm replying to, a couple in some instances may have attracted more women when they were 15. But not by the time I was in my 20s , and I'm the one who ended up in a stable marriage with a kid that excels. At best they ended up with baby mamas with kids that curse them out in the grocery store. If they got a woman or a kid at all There's nothing glorious or glamorous about struggling as a youth 1 out of 100 learns amazing lessons from it. Most get trampled by the experience and never exceed the adults that raised them Come back and talk when you know girls that went into porn and it just seemed like a no duh bc her mom sold her *** on Craigslist. Or when your buddy who's mom was a ****** and dad was a unknown John , mom died so Grandma took him in. Grandma dies so he becomes a foster kid . Aunt figures she can get social security check so she brings him in but soon as he's old enough to work odd jobs he has to buy his own toilet paper, toothpaste and grew up using water with cereal bc he wasn't allowed to touch the milk used from his aunt, cousins and whatever man she was sleeping with . He ended up in juvie and later as an adult . prison . Or the twins who were raised my mom and daddy number 3 with 4 other siblings who got beat by their sherrif step father Or the dentists child who got divorced and dentist won custody. Remarried. Dentist gets nailed for dealing drugs. Step mom raisj the child and she's passed out on the couch every night from drinking Or or or..I could write. A book of stories. The fights. The theft rings. The drugs at 13 and 14 years old that most people don't even get offered until they're in college , at best. My childhood first girlfriend was raw dawged ********** at a house party 3 houses from where I grew up. About 2 to 3 months after we broke up. I had to turn down ' my turn'. I was barely 14. She was 13. So yeah. Uh. **** kids struggling. A whole lot of other **** comes along with being raised by struggling parents who are trying to do it alone , they're over worked and come home exhausted and stressed to the point they hide in a bottle or zone out in front of TV while their kids run around tearing down the world.

  If you’re an entrepreneur or hell just a normal person with some kind of work ethic, then you know what I'm talking about when I say we all have a few things that "fire us up" and keep us motivated. Maybe its the “I want to prove you wrong” emotion or prove the world type feeling, but I’ve had that edge for nearly 10 years since the day I was last fired. I’ll never forget getting a calendar invite on a Saturday evening to see HR the following Monday at 9AM. 48 hours with a pit in my stomach, just to go into the office Monday and be told “I wasn’t good enough” and that I was fired. The lowest moment of my life. The lowest point of my career. A moment I’ll never forget. My stomach sunk to the floor knowing I had less than $1000 to my name. No way to pay my rent or my student loans. My ex girlfriend has just left me. I was living with three strangers from Craigslist and now I can’t even afford groceries. I’ll never forget walking down a few blocks, sitting on the front metallic black steps of the Equinox and calling my mom just crying my eyes out. Feeling like the biggest failure. Filled with uncertainty and that I wasn’t good enough. So yeah, I’ve kept that hunger for almost a decade now. Building businesses. Starting things that seem impossible. Creating sports. Creating communities. Creating categories. Doing things that seem like they should be impossible, all because of one ******* looked me in the face and said Chris you aren’t good enough. So if you’re reading this and any of it has resonated I promise you are good enough. You are talented enough. You have the ability to do anything in this world. Keep working. Keep trying. Keep showing up. All the excuses you want to make are just bullshit. Have a bad day? Go ahead, wake up and make the next day better. Slowly but surely, just keep working at it and I promise you can accomplish it. Everything is going to take much longer than you expected. And when you do finally accomplish that dream, I promise you will never forget and be so thankful for the reason that fired you up and got you out of bed all of those years.

  He slept in his car with $27 to his name. Five years later, he was worth millions. Not from crypto. Not from an inheritance. Not from getting “lucky.” He got rich doing something most people would’ve been embarrassed to start. Here’s the story: At 32, Marcus had lost almost everything. His job was gone. His relationship had fallen apart. His credit cards were maxed. For a few months, his entire life fit inside the trunk of a beat-up Honda. At night, he parked near a 24-hour gym so he could shower in the morning. During the day, he worked whatever jobs he could find. Moving furniture. Cleaning garages. Hauling junk. Then one Saturday changed everything. A homeowner offered him $300 to clear an old couch, broken dresser, and piles of trash out of a garage. It took him 3 hours. Dump fees were $62. Gas cost him about $20. He walked away with more than $200. Marcus immediately noticed something: People weren’t paying for the truck. They were paying to make a problem disappear. So he started posting everywhere: “Junk removal. Same-day pickup.” Facebook groups. Craigslist. Neighborhood apps. Handwritten flyers. At first, he borrowed a truck. Then he rented one. Then he bought a used trailer. One $300 job became two jobs a day. Then four. Soon he couldn’t handle the calls himself. So he hired someone. Then another person. Then another truck. But this is where the story gets interesting. Marcus realized the real money wasn’t in hauling junk himself. It was in owning the system that generated the jobs. He built a website. Started running local ads. Created standardized pricing. Hired crews. Added property managers, realtors, contractors and apartment complexes as recurring clients. Revenue climbed: Year 1: $84,000 Year 2: $310,000 Year 3: $780,000 Year 5: over $2 million. The guy who once slept in his car was now running a multi-truck operation with employees doing the work he originally did alone. His biggest lesson? He didn’t escape homelessness by finding the perfect opportunity. He escaped by solving an ugly problem people were already willing to pay to make disappear. Sometimes the opportunity that changes your life doesn’t look glamorous. Sometimes it looks like someone else’s trash.

  Sad news the calf did not make it. We brought him inside at 7pm because he could no longer stand. We gave him a second round of electrolytes for the day. 20 minutes later he was starting to move his legs and head and his breathing was getting fuller. After getting the twins down to sleep came back out at 930pm to him no longer moving or breathing. The people who sold us him also have not responded since I reached out earlier today. This is heart breaking and stressful. We are now 3 for 3 in getting cows/calfs that are not healthy through craigslist.

  @AnarchoDarling And the problem with Craigslist, is here anyway it’s just become “boom-list” where boomers with nothing better to do relist the same junk priced ABOVE new retail again and again for literally decades. They need to de-prioritize sellers who don’t actually want to sell there…

  I've only ever been employed for less than 10 days my entire life, split across 3 different jobs. Funny enough, 2 of those jobs I got scammed. So, I can understand why a lot of young folks may have negative opinions on businesses. 1) Dog walker when I was 19 years old, found a small business on craigslist. Said $13/hour. I spent an hour training with the owner, then went to work the next day. During a normal shift of 6 hours, there'd be a scheduled route for all the clients. Many of the clients were 15-20 minutes away from each other, and you didn't get paid for the travel time. Additionally, gas wasn't reimbursed. Net I was making about $5-6/hour. quit the next day, guy seemed annoyed 2) Cable salesman for DirectTV, but I didn't work for corporate directly. Some guy who ran a 3rd party sales business through them and had a booth inside of Costco. We would stand at the entrance and try to get customers to the booth to sell them cable. Pay was $10+ 20% commission I did nearly a full week of training to start off -- the work was paid to be clear, that part wasn't the scam. However, it wasn't until after that entire week did he show me the employment contract. The catch? You only got the 20% commission once you got over $1000 in sales, and that number was reset weekly. Thus $1200 in sales would only result in commission on the $200 surplus = $40 instead of $240 He didn't even apologize for the lack of clarity, in fact, he doubled down: "If you do a lot of commission sales why's that a problem?"

  AI just tearing through my problems and tasks. It's so great to be bionic. "Write a Craigslist ad. Make a bill of sale. Price this item. Give me a chepear way to send a letter with tracking." I'm just laughing to myself.
