  @KennethCassel @zanehengsperger The main problem I have with this is the only time I ever need cash is for a sketchy Craigslist purchase of a boat or something

  @0hour1 if craigslist allowed people to sell their animals, this would happen less often. laws are also part of the problem.

  @LibOrNormal Well he needs to expand his skills and get a side job. All of us had to work weekends even if it was mowing a lawn, putting in a fence or fixing a car for extra cash to pay the bills. Plus not to mention selling anything we didn't want on craigslist if we had an extra bill to catch up on. Now for some who don't know, the bar is the best place to find some side work. If you have some side skills. People are always looking for a hand to build something, fix something or even do yard work.

  @4EVARDR1 @Rothmus seeing some on craigslist. Autotrader looks like its down though, idk but I'm back-n-forth between Central America and the states. I see a lot of decent used cars in Atlanta and in Central America but more expensive in Central America.

  The community should be talking about the teens who turned to Craigslist (Grindr now probably), sent pics, met someone "behind the castle", got introduced to drugs, etc. Instead protectionism kicks in, and the conversation shuts down. Understandable, but not helpful long-term...

  I wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ Commonplace makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

  Just sold my Nintendo Switch and games for $220. Craigslist is so weird and sketchy, man. Doing business on Craigs is probably very similar to doing something in the 3rd world. He wanted to come into my house, then he wanted to chew me down on the price (insanely cheap already) - the entire time I'm just bracing myself for the worst possible scenario. It's a freaking Nintendo Switch. If he's gonna rob me at gun point, he wins! Simple as! Not gonna die over a Nintendo. One time I sold a Fender Stratocaster to a **** head guy at a grocery store, and he called me back 10 minutes later, sobbing on the phone, begging for his money back. I was like, "Sure dude, whatever!" and he was like, "OMG, thank you! Thank you! God bless! God bless!" He was in tears and it's like bro..... You need to stop blowing your drug money on guitars.

  @skumWgmi Flip cars- get one on craigslist or facebook marketplace cheap. Fix or just clean up and sell. Try to make 1-2k. Repeat. Eventually get your dealers license (thats what I did) and have access to thousands of cars.

  Because: Your price was too high Your marketing was poor It has too many problems or clutter You thought Craigslist had worldwide exposure. Call a professional... Contact me if you're in Northern California.

  @RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

  @Milajoy Craigslist needs to be SHUT DOWN!!

  You don't need a designer. You need a decision filter for 'what belongs here.' 3 Proofs: 1. User Onboarding study: 86% of churn due to unclear flows, not ugly UI 2. Craigslist looks terrible. Still dominates because IA is perfect for its job. 3. Most redesigns fail because they change visuals without fixing structure Question: If users can't find features, will prettier buttons help?

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