  On the last day of Q4, Salesloft posted a "free lawn mower" ad on Craigslist with my Head of Sales cell phone number. He got over 100 calls. It was a nasty tactic, almost ruined our quarter, and I wish I would have thought of it. It was 2017. Over half of Outreach’s business was SMB and transactional — small deals, fast cycles, the last day of the quarter doing 30% of the month. Mark Kosoglow was on the phone closing those deals. Or trying to. Every other call was someone asking about the lawn mower. It took us six hours to figure out what was happening. One rep checked Craigslist on a hunch and there was the ad. Mark's name. Mark's number. Free lawn mower, come pick it up. We couldn't take it down. It wasn't his ad. So Mark spent most of the day distracted and pissed. That night our team huddled. Michelle Obama was everywhere then — "when they go low, we go high." One of my execs pushed hard for this approach. I agreed. We didn’t respond. That was the wrong ******* call. When business is two guys fighting in a phone booth with a knife, you are always at war. Salesloft threw a good punch. It got us off our feet a little bit. No impact to the quarter, but definitely made it harder than it should. And most importantly it got us talking about them internally. And getting in your head, is free competitive real state. What should we have done? Get right back at them but harder! Hire away their best rep with access to their top accounts. Buy out their contracts. Hire their best engineers. Attack their customer base with all their shortcomings. Profile all their churned customers on targeted ads. Infinite possibilities to respond and a golden opportunity to take this affront as a rallying cry for the team to go take market share. ”When they go low, we stomp on them.” - that’s a better slogan Your job as a startup leader is not to take the moral high ground. The job is to win.

  @lithos_graphein My craigslist search history says I do not, but would like to. Store bulk solvents outside, under cover. Not ideal, but better than burning the house down lol.

  Selling a car today still sucks. Craigslist → spam Facebook Marketplace → chaos Dealers → lowball offers You’re always trading off: trust, price, or convenience We’re building @ZoooomApp to fix this: • VIN-based listings (no manual input) • Verified buyers & sellers • Pricing transparency • Title checks What’s the most frustrating part of selling your car?

  @7Veritas4 @WallStreetApes My investments are making money. Craigslist sales are down. Snapshot of the real economy. Got some money, you are okay. Struggling? Not so okay.

  @anumness And the irony that even with its Craigslist-esque theme it’s soooo slow.

  @schrdngr_catboy @TLCplMax Yes lmao, why would someone who is “targeting” animals go through the trouble of an adoption process. They can just go to Craigslist

  Nothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****

  @LibOrNormal Well he needs to expand his skills and get a side job. All of us had to work weekends even if it was mowing a lawn, putting in a fence or fixing a car for extra cash to pay the bills. Plus not to mention selling anything we didn't want on craigslist if we had an extra bill to catch up on. Now for some who don't know, the bar is the best place to find some side work. If you have some side skills. People are always looking for a hand to build something, fix something or even do yard work.

  @ichewthings I once adopted baby rats on Craigslist. I went inside the house. A cat came down the stairs and jumped on a chair. No less than a dozen rats then came down the stairs and jumped up after him and made a rat pile right on the cat. Cats are bros too.

  @paulg There is definitely a space for rented private workshops. Even boomers who advertise their ****** overpriced garage on craigslist as a cool workshop at the end basically get creeped out if you actually tell them you intend to use it as a workshop. It's a NIMBY issue.

  @hostbodyhan I find the best cars on Craigslist, beware anything that’s been on the market for too long. Test drive everything, corner at slow and medium speeds with the windows down to listen etc - Good luck!

  In 2005, Craigslist turned down $10 billion from Rupert Murdoch. No auction. No bidding war. No counter. Just no. Craig Newmark thought selling would betray the people who used the site.

  @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.
