  @paultoo Gmail creates wealth. I pay Google annually so I don't have to run my own email server. Craigslist creates wealth. Not so sure about Google Search and/or Facebook. Both are too dependent on copy prohibition laws. They very well could be extracting more money than they create.

  Every used listing on Marketplace or Craigslist is an information asymmetry problem. The seller knows what's wrong. You don't. Built DealVet to close that gap. Paste any listing, get an AI verdict, fair price estimate, red flags, and negotiation tips in minutes. Every category.

  Part 2 of When technology meets traditional business. After we figured out how to generate demand, we almost destroyed the business. We built an SEO-driven website, dominated Craigslist (this was 2011), and cut quote turnaround from days to hours. Sales exploded. The problem? We had optimized customer acquisition—not operations. Orders piled up faster than we could process them. Deliveries slipped. Suppliers became frustrated. Our showroom filled with customers, but we didn't have enough salespeople to help them. Some visitors waited hours after driving across Southern California just to see us. Six months in, we did something that felt completely backwards. We shut off almost all of our marketing. For nearly two months we hired staff, rebuilt our processes, reset customer expectations, and only then turned growth back on. Luckily, the business survived, and started to re-ramp. Year 1: $750K Year 2: $1.5M Year 3: $3.5M Founders spend countless hours planning for failure. Spend some time planning for success. Your biggest risk might not be too little demand—it might be more demand than your business can deliver. #30YearsHardKnocks

  @3DrakaiNa Just go to cut down flock cameras on a second hand bike you bought with craigslist. Or Flock will make sure they find you. Don't drive a car to go take down flock cameras?

  @SacAppraiser This is a huge problem in San Diego, every single listing on Craigslist for rentals is a scam. So unfortunate.

  @TheLastKekker If Facebook marketplace goes down will Craigslist take its place?

  @i_danieall I booth a Yamaha off a guy on Craigslist for $50… intended this to be a camping guitar. Sounded terrible, action was way high… warped neck. Almost unplayable. Heard about neck reset to make it better. That’s a LOT of work. Found out about a poor man’s neck reset”. Make a thin cut along the neck grit before the body. I did this with a thin blade Japanese hand saw. Filled the gap with hide glue then clamped it for a few days. Put the strings back on it and it sounds great. That 1/16” saw kerf was all it took to work out the neck warp and bring down the action. Pro tip: only try this on a cheapo guitar that you don’t care about messing up. For a good guitar take it to a luthier and be prepared to pay several hundred $$$.

  @News3LV This is so wonderful, but should be a regular occurrence to help with the overpopulation problem. Just look on craigslist to see all the unwanted kittens who will never get homes or end up being killed at the animal foundation.

  I used to own a recording studio. So I've watched this movie before. Around 2010 everyone and their grandma bought an Mbox, a $40 condenser mic, and a cracked copy of Pro Tools. Suddenly they were "audio engineers" charging $5 per mix and master on Craigslist. Recording artists in untreated bedrooms with foam taped to the walls. People flocked to them because it was cheap and fast. The music sounded terrible but it was "out there" and that's all that mattered to them in the moment. It nearly destroyed the mixing industry. Studios that invested in real equipment, real acoustics, and real skill couldn't compete on price with someone working off a laptop on their bed. But eventually the market corrected. The bedroom engineers disappeared. The artists who wanted quality came back. The studios that survived were the ones that never lowered their standard to compete with the bottom. That's exactly what's happening in the research supply space right now. Vendors popping up overnight with no testing, no infrastructure, no compliance. Just a Telegram channel and the cheapest price. And people are flocking to them for the same reason. It's cheap and it's fast. But cheap and untested doesn't last. It never has. In any industry. The vendors who test properly, build real infrastructure, and treat this like a business will still be here when the dust settles. The $5 mix and masters won't. #Tuesday #Peptides #Music

  @KicksKrave @xBitcoin_Teej Then you just lost the right to whine. This is the real difference between your generation and mine: I was willing to buy a car off of Craigslist or even accept a hand me down from family members because I needed to get from point A to point B only.

  Also finally threw out an old TV set that I bought over 20 years ago off Craigslist. In my mid 30's I carried it into the house with no problem. At 57, I almost gave out carrying it to the curb.

  @SacAppraiser I don’t understand. So via Airbnb no problem; via Craigslist scam. But why did it matter if the sign was outside? Because scammed guests would arrive and realize they’d not be getting in?
