  and not only have to keep solid relations with the fired Editor after the Editors cut was rejected & the Director decided reediting work on the cut wasn't what he wanted, so "you're fired". It causes a problem because I have to set up interviews, Craigslist won't supply suitable

  @CoFoundersNik During Hurricane Harvey, ‘clean up crews’ descended on Houston and they stole everything not nailed down while ‘remediating’. Telling homeowners things had been destroyed by water. The glut of flat screen tvs, electronics, and high end furniture that were undamaged by water or that had minimal damage, that went on sale on Craigslist or FB marketplace or eBay It is a cottage industry of legit dirt bags

  When I saw this log cabin for sale on Craigslist 5 years ago I thought it was a scam. I talked to the 80-year old owner on the phone & still thought it couldn’t be real. It was impressive how elaborate this hoax was. Pulling down the long driveway, I still didn’t know if it would be real then there it was. Perfectly placed on the hill like something out of a fairytale. Everyone else interested in buying the property were going to tear it down. It couldn’t be saved they said. It took me the better part of 2 years but I saved it and in turned it saved me. It made me a believer again.

  Our first warehouse was a sublease in the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis. A glorified garage, really. We shared it with other businesses and made every square foot count. Selling on Craigslist was still a thing. We popped up in malls around Christmas and ran Groupon offers to find customers wherever we could. Once we made a little money, we immediately bought an old Volkswagen truck. It broke down every time we drove it and took up valuable warehouse space. 💀 But it was “cool” Looking back, the first six years were about figuring out how to run a business. The last six have been about building one that can sustain itself. There was no clean transition between the two. No moment where we suddenly knew what we were doing. We just slowly got better at making decisions, hiring people, managing money, and admitting when something wasn’t working. A lot of the things that helped us survive early on, eventually held us back. Doing everything ourselves. Saying yes to every opportunity. Hiring only people we already knew. Making decisions based on instinct instead of numbers. Those things weren’t necessarily wrong at the time. They were just part of the stage we were in. Every version of the business requires a slightly different version of us. I’m glad we didn’t wait until we were ready. We never would have started.

  Its jarring to go from the outside world, where I know nothing, to my apartment where I know everything. I got my lamp after Aella posted about it. I got a zero gravity desk chair on Craigslist bc I used to work from bed and figured Id instead work while laying down in a chair. Transporting it was hellish. I never lay down in it. I got the standing desk during covid for black Friday. I bought my Vitruvian Form in 2023 after realizing AI was Happening and it was time to start spending. I got my fancy bed at the same time. I bought my kallax from an ex who was moving. And got a 2nd kallax new when I realized how much I loved it. My couch was picked by fable. I got it because when Id been trying to comfort a crying girl but I didnt have any proper place to bring her to sit except my bed, which carried the wrong connotations as we were on a first date. I bought a Kaiser m3i bike in May 2020 because I worked out in my unit during covid. The happiest time of my life was when I used it twice a day while listening to audiobooks. I bought the perfume recommended by Derek Munro. I bought the expensive soap because a ******* twitter said she liked stealing that soap from men, which implied she likes it. I bought the tea tree oil shampoo because when I was 18, a shaman told my friend to use it. Years later she was going to stay at my place so I bought some but it turned out she had long since stopped using it. But it feels weird to throw away perfectly good shampoo. I bought the eyeliner because I thought using it could make me hotter but its unused because putting a pencil on your eye is terrifying

  @GOP_is_Gutless One, never buy anything off of Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. That's a lure into trouble. He could have bought it from a real dealer (not victim blaming, just a smarter, safer alternative). Two, usual suspects. Typical

  NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why nobody uses Craigslist anymore Craigslist once generated more than $1 billion a year in revenue with just 28 employees. To put that in perspective, that’s more revenue per employee than even Google at its peak. Its founder turned down billions of dollars in venture capital, refused to run advertising, and chose to serve as head of customer service rather than CEO. For years, that philosophy seemed brilliant. But just six years later, Craigslist had lost more than 70% of its revenue. This is the story of how one man’s unconventional principles and vision built an internet empire and how those same principles may have ultimately contributed to its decline. This is the rise and fall of Craigslist.

  @i_danieall I booth a Yamaha off a guy on Craigslist for $50… intended this to be a camping guitar. Sounded terrible, action was way high… warped neck. Almost unplayable. Heard about neck reset to make it better. That’s a LOT of work. Found out about a poor man’s neck reset”. Make a thin cut along the neck grit before the body. I did this with a thin blade Japanese hand saw. Filled the gap with hide glue then clamped it for a few days. Put the strings back on it and it sounds great. That 1/16” saw kerf was all it took to work out the neck warp and bring down the action. Pro tip: only try this on a cheapo guitar that you don’t care about messing up. For a good guitar take it to a luthier and be prepared to pay several hundred $$$.

  @OfficialVivek01 Here’s a cleaned-up version with your voice intact, but tighter and more defensible: I just read the rest. You are correct: BTC is widely traded now. But I grew up with it before this version existed. We used to trade Bitcoin through Craigslist, meet miners in parks, parking lots, wherever both sides agreed, and do the exchange like that. I quit trading in 2023. From 2008 to 2023, I never once heard of Michael Saylor being some master guru or “King of Bitcoin.” I barely heard his name at all in the circles I came from. Then last week I started paying attention. And once I did, patterns started firing off. Some of those patterns connected back to odd BTC behavior from around 2022–2023. I have rapid pattern recognition and a nonlinear mind. Some of that comes from early trauma. Some of it comes from combat trauma. When a pattern keeps hitting me, it does not leave me alone until I look at it. That is also why I was a scalp trader. Early crypto traders like me helped map the cycles everyone trades now. We watched this market grow from nothing. So I understand BTC very well. I can even build a blockchain. What I saw last week was odd. Brokers, TV financial analysts, and even BlackRock’s CEO are now openly talking about Bitcoin cycles like they discovered them. That is insane to me. Brokers used to get fired for even mentioning Bitcoin. They used to call us criminals for owning it. Now they act like they found it first. We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance drops hard toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where you fill bags. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax strategy, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not some random level. That was the deep structure layer. So now the question becomes fair: Was it just tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then BTC gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point Bitcoin may still be decentralized at the protocol layer, but the market layer becomes a farm. That is what I am watching. What moved before the wick Whale manipulation was never some secret to the old BTC traders. We all knew it was happening. We just learned the game, mapped the traps, and traded around the predators instead of pretending Bitcoin was some clean little free market.

  @RealMattCouch Wow, so many retards in this thread. You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to tell the officer if you have a gun. But i guess many of you bought your guns off ebay or craigslist or the chimps down the road, or from the 2-toothed hick that owns the derelict gun shop.
