  @FlourishingThru I buy most all my furniture looking on Craigslist or driving past little mom & pop thrift or antique stores. I got lucky like 15 years ago & found MCM dresser set on Craigslist that had a price error & they honored it. If I tried to buy this set now it’s prob worth 4K.

  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.

  @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.

  @RepNancyMace They make it all too easy for the public to dump kittens, puppies, dogs, and cats! First off, if a shelter does not have the room, they need to tell the person to take an add out in a newspaper to place the pets instead of simply murdering innocent pets to make space. Second, if the person did not fix their dog or cats, and dumps the kittens and puppies, they need to pay a price with a large fine first off. When shelters are full, they cannot accept more pets. The owners and dumpers need to fulfil their own responsibilities, place ads, such as in craigslist and more, and ask neighbors, friends, and families to care for those pets they simply dump all too easily! They also need to pay for adds to place the puppies and kittens instead of just easily dumping them at shelters! The shelter should be able to say NO. For this constant murder of healthy dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies is UnAmerican, Unnatural, evil, despicable and horrific! People who do not fix their pets need $5 - $10 thousand fines each! This way the money can be used to expand the shelters and pay more vets and people to care for and place the animals in good homes. The entire shelter system is all wrong and the animals are deprived health care, basic real health checks, and cruel unnecessary surgeries, such as chopping off legs if a leg is broken instead of fixing the legs correctly. I witnessed this at the local shelter.

  an active and fulfilling love life might fix me but everyone on dating apps is being impossible to make plans with so I think I need to go back to the old drawing board (Craigslist (personals))

  Bought a broken 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for $3,000. The seller thought the battery was dead. A $50 charger said otherwise, and I did that same trade four more times out of salvage auctions. Every one of those cars sat there because nobody ran the numbers before walking away. The auto-loan/HYSA gap sitting at 278 basis points right now is the same math, parked in plain sight. Tomorrow's newsletter walks the full spread.

  @PieterVand37940 @viking_boer This is a very solvable issue. There are cheap, still working, washers on Craigslist. We need one guy with a pickup in each city and one American who can swing a used washer for each Amerikaner family who needs one. I have a truck.

  Why you should "waste" 100 hours writing an ad for your business... Listen. We all know Claude can write, design, and upload ads. And for many brands, Claude ads work: * They're so cheap you can test widely and luck into a good audience. * They're the baseline most advertisers use, so you won't stand out for the wrong reasons. * They can produce images and video at a scale and cost you can't match manually. But every brand needs at least one ad that someone spent 100+ hours writing. Here's why: ... It takes 100 hours to crack a transformative Big Idea. I earned my stripes as a copywriter starting in 2008. $10,000–$30,000 for a single VSL, with clients waiting three months for delivery - unhappily. I probably abused that wait time - I was never good with deadlines - but I used every minute of it: Deep research. Customer surveys. ... Not AI scraping internet posts: I talked to real customers, posting Craigslist ads offering people $30 to talk about their experience with a problem or product. I listened to hundreds of sales calls, watched heat maps, studied past test data... ... Watched REAL customers on the site LIVE. I coded surveys, studied competitors, and pulled ideas from other niches. But most important, I wrote thousands of headlines. Yes, thousands. For a single project, I'd write at least 500 bullets and 500 headlines. And that's when I felt rushed. Was it always worth it? Sometimes, no. But my hit rate was high - most of my VSLs earned my clients 10x, 20x, 100x my fee. I haven't written freelance copy since 2019, but I still have packages running in direct mail - including at least two promotions still doing more than $500k a month. I've written three packages that built an industry from the ground up, or rewrote its marketing language. And while I've written some stinkers, the same process has sold more than $1B worth of product online. ... Even though I've taught it to only a handful of people - four or five, at this point. Why? Because a Big Idea is a Big Idea is a Big Idea. You only get a Big, transformative idea by sitting down and grinding it out for 100+ hours. Thousands of bullets. Thousands of headlines. Hundreds of rejected ideas. Every business needs one ad - VSL or otherwise - built with this level of depth. Used right, it gives your team a sales and marketing vocabulary they can use to sell better. Your ads will get higher CTRs. Your new products will be more likely to launch. Even your agency creative will have a higher hit rate, if that's how you buy your ads. I know AI is the future. I use it in my own business daily. But someone who knows how to sell needs to sit down with you, your company, and your product - at least once... ... And figure out how to sell the ever-loving hell out of it.

  interesting form of intellect bounty hunting. the new form of 'ask reddit' or 'ask stackoverflow' is coalescing. downstream, i would bet this runs into metaculus + craigslist esque domains. micro prediction markets as reward caches for open problems, with pricing to inform compute + harness direction.

  it's probably becoming a non-issue because no one under 30 even knows what craigslist is, but it's genuinely mostly scams at this point. Not a website to go to.

  @_ClimateCraze In Florida, it is possible to find very cheap—and even free—solar panels. When existing systems are removed or upgraded, word spreads quickly and the used panels are snapped up fast. Professional installers and businesses can earn extra money by alerting friends and business associates where the discarded panels are located awaiting disposal. The removed panels are the property of the land owner. It’s cheaper to just let the public take them than to pay to have them hauled away. For example, last year the Orange County Convention Center gave 6,000 panels away. Used commercial panels are often listed on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I have several in my yard that powers my refrigerator, microwave, USB devices and lights. When a tropical storm or hurricane hits I'm ready for when the grid to go down.

  3/N But here's the thing: Craigslist ads get you applicants. They don't get you world-class data. That part comes down to how you treat the people collecting it. My management philosophy is simple: treat people like people. More precisely: - pay people well - make them feel like part of the mission - trust them and believe in their potential

  @SubxNews Maxwell Street was like Craigslist on the west side. You can get anything you want there. City closed this down because the only money they were making is from permits & license fees. They hated the fact that it was cash-based and decentralized.
