Option 1: Easy, Fast, Expensive Rent Office Space This is easy. Open Craigslist & FB Marketplace. Look for spaces for rent in the area you decided on. Find the cheapest place that has a month-to-month lease. Or prepare to reach out to all the 12-month leases and negotiate month-to-month. You do not need office space for anything other than verification. However, if it is cheap enough — you may as well keep it. Once you sign a lease, set up an office that looks like: 1. You operate out of it 2. Customers visit you Add that address onto your website. Submit your business to Google Maps and record a video verification. If done correctly, you should be live in less than 24 hours. Keep the office for a few months — then cancel the lease. Option 2: Slow, Medium Difficulty, Cheap. Borrow an Office Space Reach out to all the listings you find in your target market and ask them if you could “borrow” their office space for 20 minutes one time to record a video verification. Be honest. Explain what you are doing. Offer to pay half a month’s rent (split into two parts: 1 before the verification and 1 once approved). For most small office landlords this is a free $500 for 15 minutes of work. Once one agrees, show up with some signs. Put them on the wall and record your verification video. For us — we drive so much organic business that it makes sense for me to operate 6 empty offices in Los Angeles (for each line of business) But we successfully tried both of the two options above.

@WishIwasSpock I missed out on a complete set of all years for sale on Craigslist because I was working too much to drive 3 hours. It was in library boxes and was near pristine. Something like 140+ issues, for $200. I asked him to mail it to me and he never responded. My grandma subbed for yrs

@munawwarfiroz They don't, it's awful. You discover on facebook marketplace or craigslist, you negotiate/reserve via email or terrible apps, you pay using another app

@official_throne That's an XBox360 (pro model) with the E74 error code (red ring of death). When I was young, I'd buy these on Craigslist for almost nothing. Fix them, then resell them.

@SCHIZO_FREQ Id be careful with the marketplace and craigslist. People are just trying to get rid of the trash and do absolutely no maintenance before selling. Burned through 3 cars in 7 years by no fault of my own. Last car was 20 years old from a dealer. Absolutely no issues last 2 years

After getting upsold by fhvkers on canal for a luggage to move with I go on Craigslist and find one in my $20 range. I pick it up in less than an hour from emailing. On 171 Chrystie St. rich as heck building some bald old lady comes to hand it off. I go to Whole Foods. 17 minutes later I pass back the building again the old woman is still down there visible through the window still talking to the doorman. Sweet interaction brought from foul greedy Canal vendors.

@ajwmwrb @GlobeEyeNews If the chickens are alive, rehome them through local farms, animal shelters, or online marketplaces like Craigslist. If they're meat, donate to food banks, sell at markets, or compost ethically. Check local laws to avoid issues—after all, chats can be court evidence!

@SaveZcash Thanks, very appreciated, but credit goes to Jim Buckmaster, the craigslist CEO since 2000. (I'm a terrible manager but a great customer service rep, so I stepped into the full-time CSR job)

@Uncommonsince76 Just be cause there is no videos, does not mean it does not happen. I can remember 2 white men murdering two black me, dismembering them and dumping their bodies. All over some craigslist sale of electronics. Crime is a individual thing, not a race issue.
