  Well, have you ever considered that maybe there was a really cool thing on craigslist that was worth like 100 billion but Erdogan was really really smart and haggled it down to just 20 and the guy fell for it and now he's just waiting for it to arrive in a week or two?

  @PS0302 @lyndseyfifield @SammyBarrow32 Can definitely fix appliances yourself but it almost always means getting new parts. Meanwhile the frozen food is going to waste and probably has to be emptied anyways to make repairs. Best solution is cheapest freezer you can find on craigslist to tide you over. Maybe even rent

  Here is the Craigslist ad for the company that hired this petition gatherer. Note: this is a subcontractor to the firm hired by CHA/CTA/Consumer Attorneys/Uber. They hire people as independent contractors. Based on the three part test in AB 5 (@LorenaSGonzalez) this is illegal. And everyone knows it. But they still hire these firms who use an illegal employment practice, one which is fraudulent, and encourages more fraud. The AG @RobBonta should be shutting all these operations down, confiscating all the signed petitions, and creating a massive cost to any organization that collects signatures with these shady firms. Firms that hire the handful of shady / monopolistic firms should fear that all their petitions will be impounded by a legal action by the state AG or a County Prosecutor if the firms they hire are breaking the states employment law. And that’s a minimum. Preferably this gets backed up by an aggressive reform. Looking at you @isaacgbryan - LFG!!

  Nothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****

  You don’t understand how much “possession” is valued in secondhand goods. Every year, millions of items are stolen or lost during moves, travel, break-ins, or shipments. Insurance claims get filed, police reports sit unsolved, and replacement cycles begin. But for anyone who’s ever had something meaningful stolen — an heirloom ring, a custom bike, a rare collectible — there’s a feeling of personal defeat. They’d pay anything to get it back. That’s your market. Here’s how you own it. Build an AI-driven platform that acts as the ultimate lost-and-stolen item recovery engine. You’ll aggregate real-time public and semi-public signals across every vertical where people offload goods. Think Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, LetGo, eBay, auction houses, local classified aggregators, public **** shop inventories, and even social media marketplaces. Anywhere someone might try to move an item fast, you’re there. Key is designing the perfect intake funnel for users. On the front end: Individuals can upload their item details (pictures, serials, descriptions, prior ownership timelines, approximate value). On the back end, your classifiers are doing image matching, metadata overlap, and serial database checks on thousands of for-sale listings. You crawl for matches the second they input. Layer 1: Build basic search for free users. Low-hanging fruit like serial number database matches, stock image metadata. Maybe you offer weekly search report summaries. Layer 2: Monetize advanced signals. Users can pay a monthly fee for real-time alerts on high-probability matches in their region or category. Layer 3: Upsell redirection services. You get users to their item faster, offering concierge support, evidence packaging for local law enforcement, demand letters for coordination with sellers, or even providing a third-party retrieval network. Turns messy interaction into an end-to-end system of reassurance. Biggest potential for cash flow? Integrations with insurance companies and law enforcement. You aggregate stolen goods claims from insurers directly. Act as their automated recovery arm — at scale, your AI will recover more than human investigators ever could. Charge insurance providers per item/file matched, per monthly period, or for exclusive category data feeds (e.g. “50% of stolen bikes in 60647 zip last quarter were fenced via Marketplace”). Discounts for institutional licensing mean easier adoption and predictable revenue. For police: You bundle high-probability matches and accounts into usable case materials. You become the private-sector bridge that makes property crime solvable again in economies where law enforcement has deprioritized. Beyond stolen goods, this funnel broadens into lost valuables. High emotional ROI segment. Grandmother’s lost ruby necklace in an Uber, expensive camera mislaid during international travel, each tied to specific zones & resale paths. Final viral loop, extremely optional: Build a crowdfunded “retrace service” tier for retrieval-resistant items. Find a $10k Rolex stolen in LA now sitting in a random Arizona **** shop? Seller/host/**** asks way too much for “repurchase”? Community pledging to pitch in for a retrieval/rebuy/release simplifies your user's problem while gamifying recovery. (Name this service “Pawnshop Angels” if you want brand punch.) Legal warning: You’ll run into territorial fights on access (some countries/states regulate online secondhand item reporting), but you’re merely aggregating public records and marketplaces. You’re building an interpretation layer, not breaking in. This system wins not because it’s complex but because it acts faster than desperation. You create memory backdoors into fractured systems of possession. Users don’t want to fight a thief–they just want what’s theirs.

  @Notwokenow shelters and craigslist are part of the problem. craigslist removes posts of people wanting to sell pets for $40. shelters are full or have a waitlist. if craigslist and ebay allowed pet ads for free or $1, we wouldn’t have this problem.

  My mom once saw searches on my phone for a used car on Craigslist, and she screamed at me until my ears rang, telling me that I could never dream of affording it, how I don’t know about insurance (I did), and how I was childish for wanting to “just buy a car” (I was only curious and doing research, I didn’t even want one yet). Yet will also put me down for lack of social life, for my age and lack of independence? But will also make negative comments about making friends in unconventional ways (like through Twitter)? And disparage any attempt at independence? My parents have supported me in so many ways. I was unstable and unable to work at one point, and I would have been homeless without them. Yet I also feel incredibly trapped and claustrophobic. A part of me dreams of living far away. I just want to be left alone and not have to talk to anyone for a really long time.

  @greta The cost to repair my beautiful ruby red LG set was enormous. A lovely couple purchased it from I listing I posted on Craigslist. The husband was a repairman. I fully disclosed the washing machine issue. Well, 2years later … I just saw it on the side of the road. Hate my GE set.

  @lithos_graphein My craigslist search history says I do not, but would like to. Store bulk solvents outside, under cover. Not ideal, but better than burning the house down lol.

  a recent desire of mine is getting a huge *** desk one would see in a cartoonishly evil ceo's office in kids movies. the issue is that these desks are wooden and big which means they are expensive as **** unless i go trawling through craigslist and luck out on a free one.
