🇺🇲 American soil, American oil™ 🇺🇲 (@VoteLambright) reported@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.

kimmel (@arikimmel) reportedI 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.

Tigerloose (@tigerloose1) reported@GrahamAllen How difficult will it be to track down the people that are selling the merchandise? Facebook, Craigslist, flea markets. Well it is not a law enforcement priority.

Area Eightythree (@AreaEighty4366) reported@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

Zach Zhao (@thezachzhao) reported@RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

Cori Arnold (@iamcoriarnold) reported6. I sold stuff. I got rid of a lot of stuff. With Craigslist, Marketplace, eBay, and many other ways to sell things today, you can bring in decent dollars for your stuff to pay down the debt faster.

GhostExodus (@ExodusGhost) reported@f3dscr0w Yes. That was the issue. It took the FBI’s Cybercrime Division to de-anonymize me. They discovered a Craigslist post of mine where I’d uploaded a resume showing 3 security companies I’d worked for, and the employment dates. No name. A burner phone number. Burner email. They phoned all 3 companies with the dates and were able to enumerated my name.

Linda Hand (@JenniferX117) reported@ClownWorld Well what do you call online shopping? We have a problem in the world where people steal from large corporations & others to resell the items online through hosted and self hosted sites such as WhatsApp, poshmark, eBay, micari, X, instagram, Facebook marketplaces and Craigslist.

Tom Smith (@tomwsmith) reported@0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.

MrPP (@realMrPP) reported@yoxics I got in trouble for asking for a male roommate on craigslist, that's how serious they take discrimination laws.

joey baum (@joeybaum13) reportedIn San Francisco, a city on the cusp of every new technology, has a rather antiquated system for finding rental apartments. it's mostly craigslist and calling the phone number that hangs on a sign in front the building.

RACHEL. (@GenuinelyRachel) reported@whitney_coon @Damious4 @billings_steve BTW not to throw anyone under the bus, but when showed proof of what faux pas told and showed me. Others admitted to what went down in the 6 chat when you assisted in finding prostitutes to send to my home and send others from Craigslist to mess with my home where KIDS live.
