  10 years ago I bought a desk off of Craigslist of $75. I offered him $80 if he would deliver it (1 mile). I still have the same desk. Down to about .53 cents per month by now.

  @BitcoinSapiens Rent aka splitting a 1 or 2 BR with a roomate, should have no issues affording it. Do people not use Craigslist anymore? Get a roomate and save your money folks

  @LeavingPortland Just get basic trip permits and don't worry about it. Expired trip permits isn't an issue. Or they could buy license plates off of OfferUp or Craigslist. Use them until they expire then throw them away. Or do what Oregonians do and don't use plates or permits at all.

  @PokeCardsDaily Yes but a this has always been a problem with high value items on marketplace/Craigslist. Should never have been trying to move a black label on marketplace especially in person. And if you think thats the only way you can get a sale done, do it INSIDE a police station or no deal

  funny story, bluebird SRs ran a distributor instead of a coil pack, and the one on my donor engine was dead. in 2005 i posted on craigslist, and tracked down a spare ECU in Everett, WA from a 70 year old man who collected 240sx's. he was a millionaire from selling old farmland he bought in the 1950s, and for fun he built a barn with two working lifts just to restore S13 240sx's to showroom condition with all OEM parts. he had probably 10+ in various states that once finished he'd just sell to random people. he had a separate barn with a hidden sliding door with a room full of spare parts he collected off ebay. i spent a day with him driving back and forth between his farms to try and find the part. ive always wondered what happened to him, and regretted not staying in touch. pic of the beat up dodge colt he drove.

  @frecklequeen45 I buy too many farm animals that’s my issue. One minute my life is happy next minute I bought a donkey off Craigslist.

  I miss the 1999 Toyota Corolla that I bought off Craigslist for $1500 (haggled down $300 bc two door handles were broken off) and drove for seven years then sold to a dealership who were angry that I wasted their time to assess and said they were surprised it made the drive over

  @keshavchan craigslist might be the ultimate example of this also interested in putting together a list of products that understood what made them special and doubled down on that rather than diluting

  🤔💭People forgetting $eBay already had one of the nastiest corporate PR scandals in tech history. Federal case.DOJ involvement. Former employees pleading guilty over harassment campaigns against critics in Massachusetts. Surveillance. Threats. Creepy deliveries. Fake Craigslist posts. Whole thing sounded unreal. So now RC starts publicly cooking management, trolling seller experience, mocking culture, gets suspended… and internet immediately starts reposting old headlines again. 😭 Bad timing doesn’t even begin covering it. Narrative went from: “haha meme CEO posting socks” to: “why does every new controversy keep connecting back to older culture problems?” Online momentum moves FAST once people start linking patterns together. 👀

  What a lot of people didn't know is that @samparr started 15+ businesses before selling @TheHustle for $40M. Here's how he ranks the best business models in the new AI world: S : Marketplaces "Probably the hardest to start, but the most durable." He points to Craigslist and eBay : once you get density (buyers + sellers in the same place), it's nearly impossible for a competitor to unseat you. The moat is the network effect itself. Hardest cold-start problem, but the payoff is a business that lasts decades. A : Agencies / Service Businesses "You have to deal with a lot of people issues, but they're great to start." His point is that agencies aren't the end goal :they're the learning machine. You service clients, learn their pain points intimately, and then use that intel to build products (software, courses, tools). The pivot optionality is the real value. AI systems also makes it much easier to scale agencies/services now A : Software "Anything that's really hard to get into will last probably a bit longer than another business." Public markets are discounting software right now because of AI, but his argument is that for most people there's still difficulty of entry, which equals durability. If it's hard to build, it's hard to kill. B : Events (B2B) "A lot of people are going to disagree with this." He specifically calls out B2B trade shows, less so consumer events (though Coachella made $200M+ in revenue just in 2026) There are event businesses doing hundreds of millions in revenue, very profitably. The key is B2B: you're selling access to a concentrated buyer audience, not $30 tickets. B : Media He owned The Hustle, so this is personal. "If you raise venture capital, it's going to be an F : the worst business you can have." But if you own the whole thing and run it long-term, great business. The split is ownership structure, not the model itself. VC expectations destroy media companies; bootstrap economics make them work. C : Info / Course Business He owns "copy that dot com"). "They can be great cash flow, but they're never going to be worth a lot and they're not going to scale to be very big." The ceiling is the problem. You'll make money, you just won't build generational wealth from it. C : Community He owns @HamptonFounders . "People are pain in the butt, but it's very fulfilling and it can last for 50 or 100 years." The tradeoff: constant member churn vs. extreme longevity if you keep delivering value. D : Middleman / Broker His dad owns a brokerage. "It's been an amazing living for him, but generally those are pretty hard because the margins are so small." The video about his dad's business went super viral, but the reality is razor-thin margins make it a grind. Works for one person's lifestyle, hard to scale. E/F : E-commerce "In most cases, I think that's probably the worst business model." No cash flow, tons of competition. This is the default trap most first-time entrepreneurs fall into. The through-line: durability and defensibility matter more than margins. The S and A tiers are all businesses with structural moats (network effects, switching costs, expertise). The D and F tiers are commodity businesses where you're always one competitor away from irrelevance.

  @Nachtel_Hussar My car is fine, it just is inefficient because it’s old. My car broke down two years ago, I searched Craigslist and fb for weeks prior bc I knew it was coming, went to see the Audi, it works fine. Are you arguing that gas is NOT too expensive?

  @trentjhughes I think someone just needs to build a real life looking for group app. Let people post in the most unfiltered sense what they're looking to do. Not a Meetup clone, boiled down like 2000's Craigslist. Only stipulation is there's no free version and you have to be verified.

  @jjohnpotter Did you put it on craigslist? List it for $20 and say, best deal in town, cost $xx,xxx new. People can't pass up a good deal. If it's free they think something is wrong, if they pay, it's a way to earn money. The Brain is broken this way.

  @AngelMD1103 I had this same problem with Craigslist giving away free stuff. Can you help me take it downstairs? No, it’s free stupid
