  My business partner and I built the taco truck from a used food trailer we found on Craigslist, painted it ourselves in his driveway over a weekend, split every cost down to the propane tanks. He called me on a Sunday to say he'd bought a second truck, said it like an update, not a question, said he'd already lined up a new logo and a new name for it, one that didn't include mine anywhere. I asked whose name was on the LLC for the new one. He said just his, said it was "cleaner that way for taxes." I didn't argue on the phone. I went by the commissary kitchen we shared the next morning and looked at the schedule board, saw our regular Thursday spot at the farmers market now listed under the new truck's name, our truck moved to a Tuesday slot near the highway nobody requests. He was there loading ice when I walked in. He said, "I figured you'd rather keep things simple, focus on the original truck, not stretch yourself thin." I told him that wasn't his decision to make for me. He shrugged, said the market coordinators had already approved the swap, nothing to be done about it now. I called the coordinator myself that afternoon, said I had questions about the vendor agreement, asked her to email me a copy of what he'd submitted. It's sitting in my inbox now, unopened, the subject line just "RE: Vendor Info Request." I keep meaning to read it between shifts, and keep finding a reason not to.

  I’m tired of opening my portfolio and seeing the lowest common denominator. I know what I’m holding. That number is not a true indication of what it’s worth. And for anyone new, watching your “value” swing on someone else’s panic sale is enough to make you walk away from the space entirely. Floor price is the price of the cheapest asset in a collection. This market decided that was the same as the asset’s price. It never was. No other asset class works this way. Legit…Nobody values a 911 by the most beat-up one on Craigslist or prices a painting by the cheapest canvas from the same studio that year. You assess the specific piece, condition, provenance, history, rights. Floor is a liquidity number. It shows what you can exit at today if you don’t care what you’re holding. Useful, but not a value number. We’ve treated the two as interchangeable for four years. Why it happened isn’t complicated. Floor is one number that updates constantly and moves on a chart…a scoreboard, and scoreboards are how casinos work. Fair value takes work: traits, lineage, provenance, holder history, license. It doesn’t flash every thirty seconds. The market took the easy number and dropped the hard one. The cost isn’t theoretical. People list assets worth multiples of floor at floor because it’s the only number put in front of them. That’s not a people problem. Nobody built the other number. An Ape is three things at once: an art piece, IP with a commercial license, and a token with technical properties that outlive the chart. None of those are priced by the cheapest one. Floor tells you what the market will pay you to stop thinking. Fair value is what it’s worth when you don’t. ApeFax drops soon and we’re about to change the way that you look at NFT‘s. Check before you ape 🦍

  @FlourishingThru I buy most all my furniture looking on Craigslist or driving past little mom & pop thrift or antique stores. I got lucky like 15 years ago & found MCM dresser set on Craigslist that had a price error & they honored it. If I tried to buy this set now it’s prob worth 4K.

  @rich_toronto It’s a mess, she bought the house two years ago and the builder buried a substandard plastic pipe in the basement. It developed a crack and pressure from the incoming city main eventually burst it. They lost their carrier AC and everything else stored down there. They are living in an apartment till this gets sorted out. The builder is being sued and the children have to be driven miles to go to school now. My son-in-law owns an underwriter firm and he’s having trouble with the insurance company. Be careful your insurance doesn’t send some character off of Craigslist to fix your flood damage.

  Why you should "waste" 100 hours writing an ad for your business... Listen. We all know Claude can write, design, and upload ads. And for many brands, Claude ads work: * They're so cheap you can test widely and luck into a good audience. * They're the baseline most advertisers use, so you won't stand out for the wrong reasons. * They can produce images and video at a scale and cost you can't match manually. But every brand needs at least one ad that someone spent 100+ hours writing. Here's why: ... It takes 100 hours to crack a transformative Big Idea. I earned my stripes as a copywriter starting in 2008. $10,000–$30,000 for a single VSL, with clients waiting three months for delivery - unhappily. I probably abused that wait time - I was never good with deadlines - but I used every minute of it: Deep research. Customer surveys. ... Not AI scraping internet posts: I talked to real customers, posting Craigslist ads offering people $30 to talk about their experience with a problem or product. I listened to hundreds of sales calls, watched heat maps, studied past test data... ... Watched REAL customers on the site LIVE. I coded surveys, studied competitors, and pulled ideas from other niches. But most important, I wrote thousands of headlines. Yes, thousands. For a single project, I'd write at least 500 bullets and 500 headlines. And that's when I felt rushed. Was it always worth it? Sometimes, no. But my hit rate was high - most of my VSLs earned my clients 10x, 20x, 100x my fee. I haven't written freelance copy since 2019, but I still have packages running in direct mail - including at least two promotions still doing more than $500k a month. I've written three packages that built an industry from the ground up, or rewrote its marketing language. And while I've written some stinkers, the same process has sold more than $1B worth of product online. ... Even though I've taught it to only a handful of people - four or five, at this point. Why? Because a Big Idea is a Big Idea is a Big Idea. You only get a Big, transformative idea by sitting down and grinding it out for 100+ hours. Thousands of bullets. Thousands of headlines. Hundreds of rejected ideas. Every business needs one ad - VSL or otherwise - built with this level of depth. Used right, it gives your team a sales and marketing vocabulary they can use to sell better. Your ads will get higher CTRs. Your new products will be more likely to launch. Even your agency creative will have a higher hit rate, if that's how you buy your ads. I know AI is the future. I use it in my own business daily. But someone who knows how to sell needs to sit down with you, your company, and your product - at least once... ... And figure out how to sell the ever-loving hell out of it.

  @NickPocheVOTE Reminds me of the H St Streetcar. My first landlord in DC pitched the streetcar in the Craigslist ad (!!!) in 2009. I moved to Boston for a year in 2011 & back in 2013 and it still didn’t open for another three years. And then shut down for good 10 years after that…

  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?"

  @TheDataHubX @brivael Oh this is fun, here is mine: CJ Netmall (an ecommerce store with 'everything' via affiliate links from Amazon, LinkShare, etc...), I thought I could beat Amazon to their market expansion using their products + products from other stores by building an amalgam. - 1996 Jump Start (a 'start page' website with email login embeds, stock ticker, news ticker, etc...), I thought I could blend the best of all the big sites/services at the time on one page, but it wasn't able to be personalized because I used Tripod and didn't have a credit card to buy a domain or get hosting - 1998 [Name Redacted] (A 'fashion brand' generated by using Cafepress' iron transfer system. Sold raunchy jokes on t-shirts.) I wasn't very proud of this so when I went back to college to get my degree closed it down though we did get minor distribution throughout the Midwest. We also purchased a domain for a trucker hat brand which would probably be really popular today - 2000 Etown Underground / Forums (A couple of new media properties for my hometown of Emporia, KS. A print + digital magazine sponsored by Staples (seriously) and a web forum for citizens to talk about issues), The forum was spamme to hell and the magazine lost advertisers pretty quickly rendering it useless - 2002 Radio Revolt (a streaming internet rock station that mixed new indie music with mainstream and classic rock) - 2003 MMO Market (the first and only place where WoW players could buy and sell virtual items.), I made a grand total of like $5 from running it. Covered by most major gaming/tech media. - 2004 Dollar DBs (we scraped data from the web and sold each database in MYSQL format for $1 in an ecommerce store), It was doing great until it was hacked and I just shut it down. - 2005 1337Talk (a L33t Speak translator apparently used by teenagers and drug dealers.), The goal was harmless fun conversations for gamers. It was featured in CNN and other places for uses I did not intended. I stopped updating it and shut it down. - 2006 GamersTube (The world's first cross-compatible video sharing UGC site built for the needs of gamers with a focus on high quality video playback and a roadmap to live streaming), I tried to get investors at SXSW to believe in the concept of a live streaming site like UStream, Mogulus/LiveStream, and Justin TV + an On Demand site like YouTube built for the needs of gamers to host both long-form Machinima content and streaming eSports matches in high definition. They all said it was ridiculous. I believed in the long-term movement of video based entertainment from OTA and cable to the web-based distribution considering the gaming market to be at least a billion dollar industry alone. Google banned our Blogger blog for "spam" after it was uncovered that we had a revenue program before YouTube and also banned us from Adsense after changing the TOS to specifically forbid our website. Either an example of Convergent Evolution or something else, Twitch built nearly every single feature we built or envisioned including "Pwning", tips, and clipping just years and years later - 2006 Classified Ads Free / Kollege Ads (A network of classified ads websites that were free but made money via advertising networks.), I thought Craigslist was due for being disrupted but learned to leave the gray monster alone. We suffered a never ending and impossible to avoid barrage of spam / phishing listings and ultimate major web gatekeepers killed off traffic to our network (rightfully so) - 2007 AD FUND [never built] (With a college friend who works for a major tech company now as a higher up Senior dev, this project was designed to make it so you could sell small shares of access to your business online based on your revenue or traffic etc... and develop a secondary market for those shares.) The goal was to allow small sites/apps to get the sort of investment only big public corps or those in major VC hubs could get. My friend and partner called an SEC lawyer who told him it was illegal and we could go to prison so he quit and I am not good/smart enough to build something like that alone - 2007 ARS DFW (An art, music, events, and lifestyle blog for Dallas - Fort Worth), I built this using WordPress along with custom Javascript maps to help DFW residents find things to do like cheap drink nights or karaoke nights. IIRC the WordPress site was hacked and I just closed it down even though I still had the JS code - 2010 Nutrition Maps [launched but never adopted] (An XML based language for websites to publish nutrition data, similar to a sitemap, allowing consumer applications to easily find and use the data), I had an interested investor tell me there was no way to make money on this. SmartLabel launched in 2015 - 2011 Rent in Reverse [never launched] (Put renting consumers in the driver's seat by allowing landlords / leasing agents to bid on their target consumers by submitting offers that matched query.) I had worked in rental leasing marketing for a few years and noticed how insanely stressful it was on consumers to find a place and thought it would be great if places could bid on them. Dev partner for this project who I later found out is a cousin of a friend of mine literally moved in the middle of it to Pittsburgh and just stopped. Zillow would launch "renter profiles" 4-years later. - 2012 My New Office [only made Beta] (A website that allowed commercial landlords to post their vacancies and what it could be used for). We quickly got users including CBRE but it was just a WordPress shell as POC and I found myself working on building my own marketing agency from scratch after a falling out with my employer so I had to close it down - 2012 PR Hunters [purchased and improved] (Award winning PR software that scraped HARO queries on Twitter that needed to be filled and routed them based on keyword preferences), It was a great tool but died when Cision bought HARO and when Elon bought Twitter. Site is still live and I have plans on redeveloping it some day. - Purchased in 2014 Rocketship [client exclusive] (Our internal SEO / marketing agency software platform), The goal is to catalog all data and communications we can and streamline communications between team members and client stakeholders. - 2021 Ultimasaurus (A Chrome extension with a variety of tools to customize the desktop web including turning off AI Overviews in Google, making search ads take up less space, Eliminating spam on Google Maps, Focus Mode for getting **** done, and turning off Stories on Facebook), I use this daily for my own productivity and plan on rolling out a lot of new updates soon - 2022 Jump Links Shopify App [acquired and improved] (App that improves blogging by adding an automated TOC w/ recommended products for a low cost) - Acquired 2022 Website Announcement Bar [acquired and improved] (A quick, simple, and CWV friendly way of adding a website announcement bar to the top of your website that can be turned on or off at any time) - Acquired 2023 Advanced Spam Filter for Lead Generation [client exclusive] (A wordpress plugin + internal system to block common spammers across client profiles while ensuring 100% of actual leads come through), This solves the problem of clients not getting leads to their inbox because their email provider blacklisted their website domain/ip address. - 2024 ChatGPT Embeds for WordPress (A custom built plugin to allow simple summaries and other embeddable features for blogs/news sites) - 2025 Rocketship SEO (A plugin for WordPress designed to be a next gen toolkit that compliments current main SEO plugins such as Yoast or RankMath includes things like IndexNow, AI vs Human traffic, Redirects, AI Tools, Google Reviews, and more), I believe every website should be able to access the basics without having to pay a premium price, so we built this to do just that for the next generation. - 2025 Subscription System [still in beta but almost completed and live on the ORG] (A WordPress plugin that gives websites 2 major subscription capabilities.) Websites can offer a publication subscription that sends email alerts to users based on their settings and allows this to be a revenue source. And a work/labor subscription system with a work log and pricing tiers. All independent of Woocommerce using Stripe integration (more coming soon) - 2026 There's a lot more I haven't added like a bitcoin site that only posted peoples regrets for selling early, an online browser game called "Jelly Battle", the most popular Gmail forum signature generator (way back in the day), the most popular Free MMORPG gaming blog (made me $$$$), a handful of failed keyword tools, And several Alpha/Beta projects I may never fully launch, etc... I'll keep building until I die, but will probably never equal 1/10th of what Elon has. I was pretty darn close with GamersTube to breakaway life changing wealth though!

  Hello. I am Arben. I have a terrible track record online. Tried to sell a bunch of stuff on Craigslist. Several women offered me their body in lieu of cash. Joined a dating site. All responses were fetish chicks. I didn’t know that adult women like to pretend to be babies. It was weird. Been on x for about 1-2 years. So far, so good.

  @EscambiaFLMan When I was in Florida, I had to escape in abusive relationship. Because of the 2019 DV scandal in Florida, there were no beds available or relocation funds. I had to find a place to stay on craigslist because I was stuck in complete Lawfare. I ended up in Hillsborough, staying with the daughter of an attorney and her boyfriend. I rented a bedroom. The other roommate rented the couch. The woman who was renting the apartment out was also doing OF with her boyfriend and getting food stamps and other benefits from the state. The boyfriend stole my car and drove under a red light camera. I was tracked down by an attorney and I had to pay $400 even though I wasn’t the one driving the car during the time in question. The crazy bipolar person renting out the apartment had plans to sell my dog and cat. She was also going to sell the girl renting the couch for $1200 and keep the money, considering it her rent. When they realized that we were not going to just allow ourselves to be abused in such a way, she started taking lightbulbs out of the lights and keeping the bathroom door locked so we could not use the restroom. I was forced to leave and take her with me. By then I had a UTI. And the only place to go was back to my ex-boyfriend‘s who abused me severely. I thought maybe if we went together things might be OK. They weren’t. My ex did what he always did and lied about me hitting him. He told my friend that if she ever told the truth about what happened that night he would find her. It’s a legitimate threat because he’s a realtor. He forced her to do things in return for having a roof over her head. I tried to save her. But I only brought her to another devil. I don’t know how I can ever forgive myself. All I can do is continue talking about the failure of the system where the police believed that they gave us a packet of information with a solution that will keep us safe. The packet was a false promise. I hope you run for office. We need honest people in the government. We need people who care about humanity. We need people who tell the truth. You are brave and I truly hope good things come your way.
