  Just sold my Nintendo Switch and games for $220. Craigslist is so weird and sketchy, man. Doing business on Craigs is probably very similar to doing something in the 3rd world. He wanted to come into my house, then he wanted to chew me down on the price (insanely cheap already) - the entire time I'm just bracing myself for the worst possible scenario. It's a freaking Nintendo Switch. If he's gonna rob me at gun point, he wins! Simple as! Not gonna die over a Nintendo. One time I sold a Fender Stratocaster to a **** head guy at a grocery store, and he called me back 10 minutes later, sobbing on the phone, begging for his money back. I was like, "Sure dude, whatever!" and he was like, "OMG, thank you! Thank you! God bless! God bless!" He was in tears and it's like bro..... You need to stop blowing your drug money on guitars.

  I learned how to fix these with 8 pennies and a bit of electrical tape and I would buy them on Craigslist and re-sell them fixed. About 12 cents in "parts" and 10-15 mins of labor.

  @washghost1 I had once bought a broken Samsung refrigerator for $ 300 on craigslist. The similar model still sells for little less than 2k. It pooled water under the freezer below, and the top refrigeration didn't work. I replaced the evap fan and patching some holes left by previous repair attempts, and removed the faulty drain valve insert by cutting out the valve itself with a utility knife. It has been working flawlessly for more than three years now. It seems Samsung still has a lot of room to improve on their long-term consumer testing.

  @tpritha03 @vibeonX69 I just recently came across a deal on Craigslist: 128GB ECC-reg DDR3 and 8X 300GB SAS drives for $25. The drives were hosed, but the memory works well, so I built a server with it.

  @ScottFriedman3 @StubHub @coachella Honestly check Craigslist for people trying to panic sell. Have done it for 4+ years and never had an issue.

  Let me suggest that for any meeting like this where you are selling something to someone you do not know, you schedule the meeting at the local police station. Whether it is Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist or any other site, always take some minimal precautions for your safety. I have done this myself and I usually will call the police ahead of time to let them know I am doing it, just so they know what is up. The added benefit is that when you tell them you want to meet at a police station, if it is a scam, they will likely back out and you save time and trouble.

  @RichDecibels Wow.. that surely sounds automated. I also got "almost" scammed, but the scammer got confused and backed off, funny story too. Been selling gardening mulch at home. Put it on the Bulgarian "Craigslist" and got a reply 1 minute after I published the ad. The guy started asking me in a DM if it's possible to send it through the post office in an unusual way and for him to pay on delivery, then I said, "Are you sure? It is almost a ton of mulch. You will need a truck to get it and It will cost you a lot of money just for shipping." and I guess that triggered his LLM to do a compute error or something cause he never replied back.

  @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.

  @LibOrNormal I recommend this old woman go down to Houston, rent a room, and put an ad on craigslist saying, all u can handle, fee kitty. She can go home with souvenirs. In any case, don't take revenge advice from another woman, girls. Especially an old one

  @ShabazzStuart @nytimes This issue is of the MTA's own doing. Keys for rail yards and trains have been sold on craigslist, ebay, etc for as long as I could remember (still have the set for MTA and MNR i got ages ago). They had a team meant to keep an eye on these things and seemingly they slipped up

  @MrsCMFrancis You're not kidding. I am trying to down size and I hate to just discard things. Don't trust FB market place or craigslist. What do I do with it. It has value.

  I 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.
