kimmel (@arikimmel) reportedI wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

Rogelio Rodriguez 🇵🇷🏳️🌈🇵🇸🇮🇷🇨🇺 🖖⚾️ (@rorodriguez73) reportedLast time a newspaper classified ad was of use to me was in 2007, when an ad in a physical copy of the Tacoma Tribune got me a new apartment. After that, Craigslist online was the go to, especially in emergency situations. Too bad they had to shut down the horny part of the site.

Brett Tanner (@Bewealthybrett) reportedIf you're posting jobs on Craigslist wondering why you can't find good people, that's the problem. The talent you want isn't on job boards. They're already crushing it somewhere else. Define the role. Then go hunt for the right person.

State Sponsored Disinfo Bot (@6EQUJ542) reported@ichewthings I once adopted baby rats on Craigslist. I went inside the house. A cat came down the stairs and jumped on a chair. No less than a dozen rats then came down the stairs and jumped up after him and made a rat pile right on the cat. Cats are bros too.

GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported@f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

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.

AJ (@AJNoiter) reported@princess_kim_k @susancrabtree Do you know who shut down websites like ******** and Craigslist "Personals" section where human trafficking (including children) was rampant?

Ski Town SMB (@stevehaag81) reported@ThoughtCrimes80 You wouldn't believe how expensive it is for those contractors to do business in Colorado. That's why you see these bids. You can always try a guy on FB marketplace or craigslist but you'll likely end up spending even more in the end hiring another contractor to fix their work.

Josh (@Digitalformedx) reported@LibOrNormal Well he needs to expand his skills and get a side job. All of us had to work weekends even if it was mowing a lawn, putting in a fence or fixing a car for extra cash to pay the bills. Plus not to mention selling anything we didn't want on craigslist if we had an extra bill to catch up on. Now for some who don't know, the bar is the best place to find some side work. If you have some side skills. People are always looking for a hand to build something, fix something or even do yard work.

Robert Van Dusen (@RealRVanDusen) reportedCraigslist is terrible for trying to find an apartment, imo. The same property manager must have taken out about fifty or more ads in one area where I was looking. Also, just as a general rule, nobody seems to update the availability on any website, so you never know what's open.
