  @sssarahohhh Like 6 months ago I tried posting this onto Craigslist (I don’t have Facebook so marketplace is out) and I didn’t get any takers and took down the post so I’m accepting any and all ideas!

  The best local flips go to whoever refreshes first. That's a stupid way to decide who gets what. Built Snagjaw to fix it — watches Facebook, OfferUp, Craigslist, Mercari, and estate-sale calendars around the clock, fires on match, and auto-DMs sellers before the listing goes

  @MrHodl Don’t ever mention this in a Fred Krueger Space. All the influencers and follower collectors will think you’re trying to one-up their clout. I mentioned buying Bitcoin off Craigslist in Virginia Beach, and they missed the entire point of the discussion. Instead, they started arguing about what region of the planet Bitcoin started in. As if all of us nerdy-*** hackers weren’t already connected through BBS, IRC, and other comms and didn’t know about Bitcoin. lol We’re the same nerds who’ve spent decades keeping the defenses up. Attack. Fix. Attack. Fix. It’s always been cat and mouse.

  Justin Lopas (@JLopas), Co-founder & COO of @basepowerco, told me about the first battery they ever installed. Six months in, they had financial assumptions, regulatory assumptions and engineering assumptions, and no way to know if any of them held. So to put those assumptions to the test, they installed one battery in Dallas, TX. "We got a friend of my co-founders in the Dallas area, and then we found an electrician on Craigslist. And we're like, okay, let's make it happen." "Nothing worked." Wrong battery, bad install, failed inspection. They pulled it out a few weeks later and started on the second one. In this clip, what one broken battery taught them that six months of assumptions could not.

  @Neutral_OC This is what home warranty gets you. Home warranties are a ******* scam. They send out the bottom of the barrel technicians from random companies. They send out a guy from Craigslist and after he doesn't fix your problem and charges you money you will never see him again.

  When I was graduating college, I could have taken an $80K/yr job in 2012. Instead, I started a business carrying boxes up and down spiral staircases, driving a beat up $1,500 cargo van I bought off Craigslist. I wasn't passionate about pickup and delivery student storage. I just saw a need from other students who were willing to pay me to do this work. I traded my time for money and built the skills, capital, and network I needed to get to the next level. It's hard to imagine where I'd be if I never took that leap.

  Moved to Tokyo, got a roommate through Craigslist. Japanese guy, 28, seemed normal. His girlfriend came over sometimes. She was... quiet. Barely said hi. Month 3: I noticed she was there ALL the time. Like, I'd wake up, she's there. Come home late, she's there. Me: Hey man, is she moving in? Should we split rent three ways? Roommate: weird look, What? Me: Your girlfriend. She's here every day. Roommate: I don't have a girlfriend. Me: The girl who's here right now. In your room. Roommate: No one's in my room. I opened his door. Empty. Me: She was literally here this morning. Roommate: Dude, I think you're seeing things. I let it go. Maybe I was tired. Month 4: I saw her again. Making tea in the kitchen. 3 AM. Me: Hey. Her: looks at me, smiles, goes into his room Next morning: Me: Your girlfriend made tea last night. Roommate: slams his mug down, I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. Me: Then who the hell is the woman in our apartment?! Roommate: There's no woman! I took a photo next time I saw her. Showed him. He went pale. Roommate: Where did you get this? Me: I took it. Yesterday. She was here. Roommate: hands shaking, That's my ex. Me: Okay, so why'd you say... Roommate: She's been dead for two years. Me: WHAT. Roommate: She died in a car accident. We broke up a week before it happened. Me: Then who ******** is in our apartment?! Roommate: I don't know! We checked security footage from the building. No one ever came in. But on MY phone, clear as day, there's a photo of a woman in our kitchen. We called a priest. Priest: walks through apartment Priest: There's no spirit here. Me: Then explain the photo! Priest: looks at photo Priest: That's a living person. Roommate: She's DEAD. I went to her funeral! Priest: I'm telling you. That's not a ghost. We hired a private investigator. Two weeks later: Investigator: Your ex didn't die. Roommate: Yes she did. I SAW her body. Investigator: You saw someone's body. Not hers. Roommate: What?! Investigator: She faked her death. Insurance fraud. She's been living in Saitama. Me: THEN WHY IS SHE BREAKING INTO OUR APARTMENT?! Investigator: slides over more photos She had a KEY. She'd been coming in while we were both at work, going through our stuff. Roommate: Why?! Investigator: She was looking for this. shows document It was a life insurance policy. With HIM as the beneficiary. She faked her death. Collected ¥15 million. But forgot he was listed on an ADDITIONAL policy she'd taken out before they broke up. If he ever claimed it, she'd be caught. So she was breaking in trying to find the policy to destroy it. Me: THIS IS INSANE. Roommate: I'm calling the police. Investigator: Already did. They're picking her up today. Next week: She was arrested. ¥15 million recovered. Roommate got ¥8 million from the second policy. Me: What are you gonna do with the money? Roommate: Move out. This apartment is cursed. Me: She wasn't a ghost! Roommate: Doesn't matter. I can't sleep here anymore. He moved. I stayed. Sometimes I still hear someone making tea at 3 AM. But now I just check the locks.

  Bought a broken 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid off Craigslist for three grand. Everyone said the hybrid battery was dead. A fifty-dollar charger and an hour of reading said otherwise. Bought four or five more the same way. Same fix, same $50 part, same profit every time. Nearly a third of people trading in a car right now are carrying negative equity into the next loan, averaging $6,884 they will pay interest on twice. My Escape flips never owed anyone a dollar. They paid me on the way out the door. That's the actual split. Some cars fight your wealth every month. Some cars work for you. Friday's issue runs the $16,270 versus $9,811 math on the first kind, number for number.

  Ebay has been ordered to pay a $55.7m settlement to an American couple over a harassment campaign by company executives which included doxing, online threats and the delivery of live cockroaches to their home. The orchestrated campaign, which lasted for two months in the summer of 2019, was waged against husband and wife David and Ina Steiner by six eBay employees and one contractor. The couple were targeted after posting criticism of eBay’s corporate and policy changes on their newsletter and website EcommerceBytes, which is popular among eBay sellers, Wired reported. The campaign began with anonymous threats via Twitter DMs before ramping up to malicious deliveries to the Steiner family home. Items sent to the couple included pornography, a bloody pig mask, pests such as fly larvae, live spiders and cockroaches, a book about grieving a spouse and a funeral wreath. Ebay employees had the Steiners trailed in a rented van and posted fake classified ads on Craigslist advertising a ******* party, a ********* and a yard sale with their home address. After the police were contacted, the harassment campaign tailed off as those involved sought to conceal their actions. Former eBay CEO Devin Wenig told Wired via a representative that he was “saddened” by the harassment. He has continually asserted that he had no knowledge of the specific actions taken by the group who carried out the campaign. Wenig is alleged to have given former eBay chief communications officer Steve Wymer the order to “take her down,” in reference to Ina Steiner. However, his lawyers claim he was referring to a communications plan and not any criminal behaviour, a claim supported by court documents according to Wired. Six former eBay staff and a contractor were charged with taking part in the campaign in 2020. The Steiners followed with a civil suit the following year. The case has now reached a final settlement which will award the Steiners more than $46.15m from eBay, $2m from former CEO Devin Wenig, $500,000 from former executive Wendy Jones, and $50,000 from former executive Steve Wymer. David Steiner told Wired: “We were really adamant that this type of behaviour by a Fortune 500 corporation didn’t go unchecked.” In a published statement, eBay said that what the Steiners were subjected to was “wrong, reprehensible and should never have happened,” and that the company had strengthened its policies, controls and training since the incident.

  @_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.

  @MAGA_X_Times All of this is totally true. I have had many similar experiences with my ****** @hp printer that I bought 3 years ago. So many issues that I’m now looking on Craigslist for the oldest functioning printer I can find (not an @hp) so I never have another one of these days again.

  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.

  @BrandyLJensen I got shut out of marketplace weeks ago due to some age verification glitch that I've submitted a problem report for like half a dozen times and am told it will take 48 hours to resolve. 3 weeks later.... And my only option is still craigslist.
