  @AllHailTzeentch @StefanMolyneux My car was broken into, my wallet and music gear was stolen, and listed on craigslist and the seller included his address (across the street from me), and I had two gas station videos of him using my credit card --- the cops said THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW UP.

  @PalmerDesigns_ Ice fishing is actually pretty fun, bought a cheap snowmobile off Craigslist for the kids and we still spend time outside. Can’t just shut it down and stay inside gotta be a little more willing to get out. Throw on some snow shoes and try hiking, it’s actually not that bad

  @DeivonDrago I've legit considered putting up craigslist ads for ghostbuster services. I show up to the "haunted" house and just explain ghosts ain't real and demand my hard-earned pay. Then I realised this is a funny metaphor for dispelling the mystery of the Hard Problem.

  What a lot of people didn't know is that @samparr started 15+ businesses before selling @TheHustle for $40M. Here's how he ranks the best business models in the new AI world: S : Marketplaces "Probably the hardest to start, but the most durable." He points to Craigslist and eBay : once you get density (buyers + sellers in the same place), it's nearly impossible for a competitor to unseat you. The moat is the network effect itself. Hardest cold-start problem, but the payoff is a business that lasts decades. A : Agencies / Service Businesses "You have to deal with a lot of people issues, but they're great to start." His point is that agencies aren't the end goal :they're the learning machine. You service clients, learn their pain points intimately, and then use that intel to build products (software, courses, tools). The pivot optionality is the real value. AI systems also makes it much easier to scale agencies/services now A : Software "Anything that's really hard to get into will last probably a bit longer than another business." Public markets are discounting software right now because of AI, but his argument is that for most people there's still difficulty of entry, which equals durability. If it's hard to build, it's hard to kill. B : Events (B2B) "A lot of people are going to disagree with this." He specifically calls out B2B trade shows, less so consumer events (though Coachella made $200M+ in revenue just in 2026) There are event businesses doing hundreds of millions in revenue, very profitably. The key is B2B: you're selling access to a concentrated buyer audience, not $30 tickets. B : Media He owned The Hustle, so this is personal. "If you raise venture capital, it's going to be an F : the worst business you can have." But if you own the whole thing and run it long-term, great business. The split is ownership structure, not the model itself. VC expectations destroy media companies; bootstrap economics make them work. C : Info / Course Business He owns "copy that dot com"). "They can be great cash flow, but they're never going to be worth a lot and they're not going to scale to be very big." The ceiling is the problem. You'll make money, you just won't build generational wealth from it. C : Community He owns @HamptonFounders . "People are pain in the butt, but it's very fulfilling and it can last for 50 or 100 years." The tradeoff: constant member churn vs. extreme longevity if you keep delivering value. D : Middleman / Broker His dad owns a brokerage. "It's been an amazing living for him, but generally those are pretty hard because the margins are so small." The video about his dad's business went super viral, but the reality is razor-thin margins make it a grind. Works for one person's lifestyle, hard to scale. E/F : E-commerce "In most cases, I think that's probably the worst business model." No cash flow, tons of competition. This is the default trap most first-time entrepreneurs fall into. The through-line: durability and defensibility matter more than margins. The S and A tiers are all businesses with structural moats (network effects, switching costs, expertise). The D and F tiers are commodity businesses where you're always one competitor away from irrelevance.

  @GuyDealership If you need a 7 year note to finance a car, you're in way over your head. If your down payment isn't at least 1/3 the purchase price, look for something used and/or cheaper... or hit Craigslist. This is just basic financial literacy.

  @The8bitidiot The issue was so bad that Microsoft had to extend the warranty by like 3 years if I remember correctly. They couldn't figure it out...there were multiple mobo iterations. I used to pick them up with the RROD off ebay or craigslist for cheap. As long as the seal was still intact and would mail them to Microsoft, wait 4-6 weeks for the replacement, and then resell them for a decent profit. Probably did this 6 or 7 times. If memory serves correctly there was a "arcade" version you could get without a hdd that had HDMI and was the most reliable version. The cover on the disc drive was white instead of chrome.

  @LifetimeIP @JoelWBerry We bought a lot of our furniture on closeout, at goodwill, off Craigslist, in yard sales, or at BigLots. Now I have single pieces of furniture which costs more than everything totaled in our first house. Our first mattress was a 30yr old hand-me-down from the inlaws that my wife literally actually was conceived on (gross).

  @anumness And the irony that even with its Craigslist-esque theme it’s soooo slow.

  @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.

  Roofer: SEO doesn't work. Me: Looks at their website. The design structure looks like a 2012 Craigslist ad, the "Call Now" button is broken on mobile, and the content is just a wall of generic text copied from somewhere, idk

  PRAIRIEVILLE, LA MAN ARRESTED AFTER TRYING TO TRADE HIS WIFE FOR A USED BOAT, $400 CASH AND A BAG OF FROZEN CATFISH GONZALES, LA — Because apparently Craigslist was down, a 54-year-old man from Prairieville, LA wandered into a Bass Pro Shop yesterday morning and attempted to negotiate what he confidently described as a 'reasonable trade.' The store associate stated the man wanted to trade his wife of 23 years for a slightly questionable 14-foot aluminum fishing boat and $400 cash. Authorities say Rodney Thibodeau approached the boat counter at exactly, pointed at a boat priced at $4,200, and asked, 'What would it take to walk outta here with that one?' When the associate gave him the price, Ronnie countered with a package deal that included: His wife, Denise. $400 cash, and a bag of frozen catfish. Bold strategy. Shockingly, the employee did not immediately ring it up. Rodney then presented a printed document titled 'WIFE-FOR-BOAT TRANSFER AGREEMENT' (yes, in all caps, to ensure the legality of the contract). Highlights from the document include: A 3-day return policy. A notarization by his cousin who authorities stated is absolutely not a notary. A 'best features' section listing 'doesn’t snore very often, able to clean a bass & can siphon gas from a truck.' An 'as-is condition disclosure,' because he wanted to 'keep things honest.' Meanwhile, Denise was sitting in the truck outside, completely unaware she had been bundled into a clearance deal next to a boat with a hole in the hull. The Bass Pro employee did what any reasonable human would do: pretended to 'check with a manager' and immediately called law enforcement. When deputies arrived, things only got better: Denise reportedly responded with a deeply philosophical, 'Where the hell is he', followed by 'I'm going to kill him' Rodney insisted the trade was 'fair market value as the boat, again, did have a hole in it.' Both were taken into custody. Rodney for attempting to sell a human being and Denise for threatening ****** injury against Rodney and 7 other Bass Pro Shop associates. Denise has since filed for divorce, citing what legal experts are now calling 'the boat thing.' When asked for comment, Rodney stood by his decision, stating, 'Look man, it came with a trolling motor mount.' Denise, however, offered a slightly different perspective: 'I have a job. I have a home. I did not sign up to be traded like a dented canoe.' I have to believe there's a lesson somewhere in there, but I've not been able to suspend my disbelief long enough to figure out what it might be.

  @eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.
