  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.

  it's probably becoming a non-issue because no one under 30 even knows what craigslist is, but it's genuinely mostly scams at this point. Not a website to go to.

  Bought a broken 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for $3,000. The seller thought the battery was dead. A $50 charger said otherwise, and I did that same trade four more times out of salvage auctions. Every one of those cars sat there because nobody ran the numbers before walking away. The auto-loan/HYSA gap sitting at 278 basis points right now is the same math, parked in plain sight. Tomorrow's newsletter walks the full spread.

  @MrHodl Don’t ever mention this in a Fred Krueger Space. All the influencers and follower collectors will think you’re trying to one-up their clout. I mentioned buying Bitcoin off Craigslist in Virginia Beach, and they missed the entire point of the discussion. Instead, they started arguing about what region of the planet Bitcoin started in. As if all of us nerdy-*** hackers weren’t already connected through BBS, IRC, and other comms and didn’t know about Bitcoin. lol We’re the same nerds who’ve spent decades keeping the defenses up. Attack. Fix. Attack. Fix. It’s always been cat and mouse.

  The cold has broken. I live. Though I do not thrive. Still doing yard work. Feeling cute. Might go shovel some free landscape rock off of Craigslist later. I dunno. 💅

  @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

  eBay's CEO shared an article a newsletter writer published about his pay. His comms chief replied "We are going to crush this lady." A month later the CEO texted "Take her down." Then eBay's security team mailed her live cockroaches, a preserved fetal pig, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. Ina and David Steiner ran EcommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts. A small trade publication for online sellers. What enraged executives was the comment section, where sellers vented about the company. The campaign went far beyond packages. eBay employees sent pornographic magazines in David's name to his neighbors. They listed the couple's home on Craigslist as a nightly destination for swingers. They flew to Boston, tailed the Steiners in rented vehicles, and planned to break into their garage to plant a GPS tracker on their car. The Steiners began sleeping in separate bedrooms so that if someone broke in at night, one of them could escape and call police. A Natick detective traced one rental van back to an eBay employee. That single trace unraveled the whole operation. Seven employees pled guilty to federal charges. James Baugh, the security director who ran it, got nearly five years in prison. Now read the final ledger. Baugh, who executed the texts, went to federal prison. Devin Wenig, who sent "take her down," was never charged, denies knowing about the campaign, and left eBay in 2019 with a $57 million exit package. This week he settled for $2 million plus a $1 million donation to a First Amendment charity in Ina Steiner's name. Steve Wymer, the comms chief who texted "I want to see ashes. As long as it takes. Whatever it takes," is paying $50,000. The Steiners fought for seven years and got $48.7 million. The CEO's severance was bigger than their settlement.

  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.

  That’s protocol control. I’m asking about economic control. They don’t need to control development, my node, or the miners to matter in a split. Miners will go where the money is. So if Wall Street controls a growing share of the capital, custody, ETFs, and liquidity, and Bitcoin splits, which side gets that money? I’ve been in Bitcoin since 2009. Back then, we had to guess what the damn thing was worth. We’d post on Craigslist and trade BTC for $25 so we could grab a quarter sack, or swap it for PC parts. Trust me, that loyal era of Bitcoiners is gone. When it comes down to it, they’ll go where the money is.

  Next-door is the equivalent to Craigslist with free kittens. My email keeps blowing up with people posting kittens and it's stressing me out. Y'all are the problem.

  @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.
