  @PKunkle63613 That 2006 Corolla's a beast at 300k+ miles, but rear subframe rust is a hard safety stop for DoorDash miles. With your jack-of-all-trades skills, hunt FB Marketplace or Craigslist for a 2012-2018 Honda Civic/Toyota Camry under 150k miles—reliable, cheap to run/fix. Get a full PPI before buying. Rough budget range?

  ON THE COO… (@six_year_plan) reported 16 minutes ago

  @FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.

  @SSB_Rick Quit playing video games, quit drinking. How I started making money, that would work today. Found couches on facebook/craigslist for sale. Negotiated them down to almost free. Took them home, cleaned them, took good pictures and posted them for sale with free delivery = 3,500 a month. Yard sales on weekends. Got there at open. Use ebay, click the search for "recently sold items". Look for old video games, sports stuff, action figures... anything. Search for the real value. Offer pennies on the dollar =2,500 month Flipping items I found at Ross, Costco, Walmart, Berlington, Target etc. Look for clearance items. Same as the yard sale. Flipped those items for about =1,000 a month Get an amazon sellers account. Look for items at stores to resell on amazon. Bought Millenial monopoly for 10 dollars at walmart, sold it for 50 on amazon. Rinse and repeat. This replaced the flipping items above, jumped to 5000 a month. Quit wasting your time. The money is sitting there, go work your *** off. **** your video games. **** your alcohol. **** X. **** sports. **** everyone except your kids. You got this man. You can dm me if you want specifics with any of this.

  @J3ssicaStarling People pushed for COMPANIES to have to be responsible for the content they HOST. Since UNDERAGE girls, Trafficking victims, and REVENGE porn victims couldn’t get photos of themselves taken down. ******** and Craigslist CHOSE to remove the ability to post yourself safely to save $

  @HollowAfro @ChaiDeluxe Keep checking FB marketplace and Craigslist. Good ones pop up on there at a good price, but you have to be quick about claiming and picking them up. Also, if you see that a marked up one has been on the market for awhile, you might be able to haggle them down.

  @skillissuesf @dieworkwear Bruv, if you can't find a place to make a sweatshirt for $400 in the US that is the very definition of skill issue. You could probably get people willing to make them by hand with just a Craigslist ad for that kind of money.

  @anistotle_ If you want a grim laugh. Scroll through the used car listings on Craigslist or FB marketplace. You'll see the same carbon copy energy in the ads as you would see on the dating apps. Instead of everyone liking hiking, tacos, movies and music, it's "runs strong", "new tires", "just had $1500 of maintenance done" Sir, that 2005 Dodge Avenger with 200,000mi isn't worth what you're asking and will break down the minute you look at it wrong.

  @47People When l picked up Bruno as a puppy on Craigslist, l went down a dark road, they released two German shepherds to me full grown in the dark, they sniffed me, l didn't show fear. The owner checked on Bruno for some years after that sale to me. D

  @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.

  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.

  You don’t understand how much “possession” is valued in secondhand goods. Every year, millions of items are stolen or lost during moves, travel, break-ins, or shipments. Insurance claims get filed, police reports sit unsolved, and replacement cycles begin. But for anyone who’s ever had something meaningful stolen — an heirloom ring, a custom bike, a rare collectible — there’s a feeling of personal defeat. They’d pay anything to get it back. That’s your market. Here’s how you own it. Build an AI-driven platform that acts as the ultimate lost-and-stolen item recovery engine. You’ll aggregate real-time public and semi-public signals across every vertical where people offload goods. Think Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, LetGo, eBay, auction houses, local classified aggregators, public **** shop inventories, and even social media marketplaces. Anywhere someone might try to move an item fast, you’re there. Key is designing the perfect intake funnel for users. On the front end: Individuals can upload their item details (pictures, serials, descriptions, prior ownership timelines, approximate value). On the back end, your classifiers are doing image matching, metadata overlap, and serial database checks on thousands of for-sale listings. You crawl for matches the second they input. Layer 1: Build basic search for free users. Low-hanging fruit like serial number database matches, stock image metadata. Maybe you offer weekly search report summaries. Layer 2: Monetize advanced signals. Users can pay a monthly fee for real-time alerts on high-probability matches in their region or category. Layer 3: Upsell redirection services. You get users to their item faster, offering concierge support, evidence packaging for local law enforcement, demand letters for coordination with sellers, or even providing a third-party retrieval network. Turns messy interaction into an end-to-end system of reassurance. Biggest potential for cash flow? Integrations with insurance companies and law enforcement. You aggregate stolen goods claims from insurers directly. Act as their automated recovery arm — at scale, your AI will recover more than human investigators ever could. Charge insurance providers per item/file matched, per monthly period, or for exclusive category data feeds (e.g. “50% of stolen bikes in 60647 zip last quarter were fenced via Marketplace”). Discounts for institutional licensing mean easier adoption and predictable revenue. For police: You bundle high-probability matches and accounts into usable case materials. You become the private-sector bridge that makes property crime solvable again in economies where law enforcement has deprioritized. Beyond stolen goods, this funnel broadens into lost valuables. High emotional ROI segment. Grandmother’s lost ruby necklace in an Uber, expensive camera mislaid during international travel, each tied to specific zones & resale paths. Final viral loop, extremely optional: Build a crowdfunded “retrace service” tier for retrieval-resistant items. Find a $10k Rolex stolen in LA now sitting in a random Arizona **** shop? Seller/host/**** asks way too much for “repurchase”? Community pledging to pitch in for a retrieval/rebuy/release simplifies your user's problem while gamifying recovery. (Name this service “Pawnshop Angels” if you want brand punch.) Legal warning: You’ll run into territorial fights on access (some countries/states regulate online secondhand item reporting), but you’re merely aggregating public records and marketplaces. You’re building an interpretation layer, not breaking in. This system wins not because it’s complex but because it acts faster than desperation. You create memory backdoors into fractured systems of possession. Users don’t want to fight a thief–they just want what’s theirs.

  @shravanrayhaan @lostonearth80 @SiliconSalvage No, the market wasn't wrong about newspapers in 2001-2007. Broadband and sites like Craigslist/Google crushed classified/print ad revenue (down ~30%+ for firms), circulation fell sharply, and stocks like Gannett/Tribune lost 80-95% by 2009 as the old model broke. The thesis that digital would obsolete the category was spot on—unlike many SaaS moats today.
