  @RealMattCouch Wow, so many retards in this thread. You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to tell the officer if you have a gun. But i guess many of you bought your guns off ebay or craigslist or the chimps down the road, or from the 2-toothed hick that owns the derelict gun shop.

  Our first warehouse was a sublease in the Longfellow neighborhood of South Minneapolis. A glorified garage, really. We shared it with other businesses and made every square foot count. Selling on Craigslist was still a thing. We popped up in malls around Christmas and ran Groupon offers to find customers wherever we could. Once we made a little money, we immediately bought an old Volkswagen truck. It broke down every time we drove it and took up valuable warehouse space. 💀 But it was “cool” Looking back, the first six years were about figuring out how to run a business. The last six have been about building one that can sustain itself. There was no clean transition between the two. No moment where we suddenly knew what we were doing. We just slowly got better at making decisions, hiring people, managing money, and admitting when something wasn’t working. A lot of the things that helped us survive early on, eventually held us back. Doing everything ourselves. Saying yes to every opportunity. Hiring only people we already knew. Making decisions based on instinct instead of numbers. Those things weren’t necessarily wrong at the time. They were just part of the stage we were in. Every version of the business requires a slightly different version of us. I’m glad we didn’t wait until we were ready. We never would have started.

  @ilikegoodmedia @encrypted_past @GOP__Ls And the obvious difference is Craigslist and FB don't ALLOW drug dealers to openly operate. If you posted "crack for $25" on Marketplace it would be taken down and you'd get banned. They police their platforms to some degree to avoid lawsuits.

  @ScottPresler @LeaderJohnThune Day 3601 since Scott and boys got down at the Virginia Beach RNC office and posted the pictures on Craigslist.

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

  Bought a broken Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist in 2018. Someone said the battery was dead. A $50 charger and a YouTube search later, it was not. The mechanism was there. Nobody in the industry had a reason to explain it to me. Marcus did the same thing this month. He called a credit union. They cut his rate by three points. Saved him $2,800 in interest over the term. The dealer had the same rate available the whole time. The refi is a phone call the industry does not advertise. Friday's issue is the framework I did not have at 23.

  @JSchwarz9 What do you mean "not working". It's an app with a dumb name that's a craigslist for aparments, and they're valued at $80bn.

  @Wolfskampf89 @buperac I had been watching Craigslist and Marketplace for months and I got up before work and sat down to have a coffee and it was the 2nd ad on lawn and garden and it was priced very low with very low hours. I called anyways honestly thinking it was a fraud and it was a doctor who was selling it and it had belonged to his father who had passed away. It had less than 700 hours on it in 2011 when I bought it. I could sell it today for thousands more than I paid for it 15 years ago.

  @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 $$$.

  @PGC1a_RB I had a tire for a hammer swings in the backyard, but I don’t anymore. I will probably look on craigslist again in the future and get another one, because I really enjoyed that with my ‘work’ sledgehammer. The slow pulling side of things is an interesting supplement. I generally like the barefoot grounded exercise option, if I can get it. Goes very well with areas where you haven’t had to spray anything at all (persists in bare soil) because you’ve done the manual labor to clean things up with machinery or muscle strength.

  In 1957, an 18-year-old named Yvon Chouinard went to a junkyard, bought some scrap metal, and taught himself to blacksmith so he could make better climbing gear. He sold pitons out of his car for $1.50 each. He ate cat food on climbing trips to save money. He had no investors, no business plan, no MBA. Just a product he believed in and customers who needed it. That company became Patagonia. It now does $1.5 billion in annual revenue. He never took outside investment. Not once, in 50 years. The idea that you need to move fast to win is one of the most expensive lies in business. An Inc. study tracking more than 100,000 midsize US businesses over 20 years found something most founders don't want to hear: the faster a company grew in one period, the less likely it was to grow again in the future, and the more likely it was to fail. The companies that grew consistently, year after year at moderate rates, were the ones still standing two decades later. Mailchimp bootstrapped for 20 years before Intuit acquired it for $12 billion in 2021. Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius owned 100% of it. No dilution. No board telling them what to do. They just kept reinvesting profits, fixing what didn't work, and not rushing. Basecamp has been around since 1999. Same product, roughly the same team, never needed outside money. Jason Fried turned down every VC offer and wrote a book about it. Their annual revenue hasn't been disclosed but it's been consistently profitable for over 25 years. They turned down a $100M acquisition offer in the early 2000s. Craigslist is still one of the most visited websites in America. It has roughly 50 employees. It generates hundreds of millions in revenue per year. Craig Newmark started it in 1995 as an email list. The pattern across all of them is the same. They stayed small long enough to figure out what actually worked. They didn't raise money to paper over bad decisions with marketing spend. They survived downturns because they weren't burning cash they didn't have. And they kept 100% of the thing they built. Fast growth feels like winning. What it actually does is compress your learning curve while multiplying your costs, hire people before you know what to do with them, and optimize for metrics that look good in a pitch deck but don't necessarily mean the business works. The S&P 500 average company lifespan was around 30 years when Patagonia was founded in 1973. Today it's less than 18. Companies are being hollowed out faster than ever. The ones that last keep doing roughly what Chouinard did: build something real, charge a fair price for it, don't spend more than you make, and stay long enough to get good at it. Slow feels wrong when everyone around you is announcing funding rounds and growth hacks and hockey stick projections. It's supposed to feel that way. That's how you know you're doing it right.

  My ADU was broken into recently and several musical instruments were stolen. So I built Vigilanthony An agent who tracks stolen items. It has a list of all my stolen items, and every morning scans online marketplaces like Craigslist and Ebay along with several **** shop sites surrounding the Austin area. It then analyzes the results and looks for matches with my item list. No hits yet but we will stay vigilant. ✊

  @SmashJT Fun fact: If you squint, the image on the left will clearly show its just two faces merged together-- One is a fake redhead comedian who was on Craigslist at 30, and who just turned Christian The other is a fake Christian with broken gaydar.

  @ervin_pa I guarantee you’ve never been to another country to witness atrocities. I had an 18 year-old Haitian kid escape at the end of the hurricanes 12 years ago. Taught himself English. Worked his *** off. Made him the manager of my franchise coffee shop. Started buying broke down cars on craigslist and his spare time and flipping them after fixing them. Started his own used car dealership selling 60 cars a month in Naples, Florida. Now works for Hendrick motorsports. Ask that kid if he cares about 200 years ago or feels oppressed here in America No one is more ungrateful or busy reliving past sins then present day black grifters Imagine if Jesus had everyone never forget their country’s past and blame endlessly for something they themselves never experienced. Grow up lady

  @WallStreetApes Farley said "warranty work." If you expensive vehicle is under warranty, chances are it isn't paid for and you're paying high insurance. Most people, including craiglist mechanics, are liable to cause other problems fixing it. Older cars, yes.
