  In the same way that Craigslist was a generic solution to the problems better served by more tailored solutions like Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and other marketplaces.

  He slept in his car with $27 to his name. Five years later, he was worth millions. Not from crypto. Not from an inheritance. Not from getting “lucky.” He got rich doing something most people would’ve been embarrassed to start. Here’s the story: At 32, Marcus had lost almost everything. His job was gone. His relationship had fallen apart. His credit cards were maxed. For a few months, his entire life fit inside the trunk of a beat-up Honda. At night, he parked near a 24-hour gym so he could shower in the morning. During the day, he worked whatever jobs he could find. Moving furniture. Cleaning garages. Hauling junk. Then one Saturday changed everything. A homeowner offered him $300 to clear an old couch, broken dresser, and piles of trash out of a garage. It took him 3 hours. Dump fees were $62. Gas cost him about $20. He walked away with more than $200. Marcus immediately noticed something: People weren’t paying for the truck. They were paying to make a problem disappear. So he started posting everywhere: “Junk removal. Same-day pickup.” Facebook groups. Craigslist. Neighborhood apps. Handwritten flyers. At first, he borrowed a truck. Then he rented one. Then he bought a used trailer. One $300 job became two jobs a day. Then four. Soon he couldn’t handle the calls himself. So he hired someone. Then another person. Then another truck. But this is where the story gets interesting. Marcus realized the real money wasn’t in hauling junk himself. It was in owning the system that generated the jobs. He built a website. Started running local ads. Created standardized pricing. Hired crews. Added property managers, realtors, contractors and apartment complexes as recurring clients. Revenue climbed: Year 1: $84,000 Year 2: $310,000 Year 3: $780,000 Year 5: over $2 million. The guy who once slept in his car was now running a multi-truck operation with employees doing the work he originally did alone. His biggest lesson? He didn’t escape homelessness by finding the perfect opportunity. He escaped by solving an ugly problem people were already willing to pay to make disappear. Sometimes the opportunity that changes your life doesn’t look glamorous. Sometimes it looks like someone else’s trash.

  finding the right one-liner for Shack took only years 🫠 by now we must‘ve changed it 20+ times „C2C Marketplace“ „Anything to Anyone“ „P2P trade network“ „Human protocol for trade“ „Agentic (re)commerce network“ „Silk Road is back“ „C2C fiat and crypto enabled“ „AI consumer trade app“ „C2C running on Memes & AI“ … the hard part was that I knew what we‘re not no eBay, Vinted, Facebook marketplaces, Craigslist, Uber, Amazon etc so we couldn‘t use the usual C for Y „the eBay for Collectibles“ or the „Uber for trade“ I think we‘re finally there and not sure what took me so long: „building a home for regular sellers“ why do I like this so much? a) It‘s tech agnostic. We use whatever we think is best. b) it describes the solution and the problem c) a 5yr old can understand it d) it captures our key priority: regular sellers e) it‘s not tied to a category or vertical, just the desire to sell smth f) it also clearly implies what we‘re not: for professional sellers. We don‘t want to be the next whatnot, amazon or compete against any of them g) it conveys trust and human connection (home) h) it implies continuity and a long term mission (building) the simplest way to think about Shack is a testing ground for smth you own and want to sell. atoms, bits, time compared to setting up a business first or creating a website or find the right vertical website/app you can just take/create a photo and put it up for sale on Shack for the world to explore. maybe your test turns into a business at some point and then you can do all the admin around it and switch to the unlimited professional selling options out there. Shack is aiming to be the easiest point of entry if you‘re not a business and just want to sell or explore selling, with as little friction as possible what will happen if we succeed and users around the world are putting anything they want to sell online? buyers will follow as the supply will be so uniquely differentiated to all the commoditized professional selling options and most importantly prices will undercut any professional as a regular seller has none of the overhead or is selling something that is depreciating or would have been thrown away winning will prevent waste and preserve value the eCommerce industry continues to drive regular sellers into private whatsapp buy/sell groups or offline by prioritizing pros, buyers and vertical solutions (ten apps for regular sellers compared to one) in parallel the creator economy is accelerating and technology is deflating global P2P trade costs. a solution like Shack could capture multiple secular tailwinds and the best part: connect people around the globe decreasing isolation and strengthening community.

  Next-door is the equivalent to Craigslist with free kittens. My email keeps blowing up with people posting kittens and it's stressing me out. Y'all are the problem.

  @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

  imo we’ve been seeing ugly *** boring ui’s for years yes the main screen is bit unclear but it’s not because of the visual design language. it’s a structural issue imo change the layout and give elements a better visual hierarchy and it would work. the side bar is a good example. everything is clear and works well (bit worried about color accessibility for the texts tho) we all look back to when the web was more colorful and now that someone tries it gets shamed and ridiculed. choosing a bold and brutalist design for product design is a new challenge and it probably needs some work to really have top ux experience but also facebook and ig looked terrible at first until they improved their visual design so in that sense i think we just need to be brave and try new things. yes boring *** product design works but tbh i rather use a design like that for a personal dashboard or crypto wallet (maybe let me add customisation) rather than have a boring boilerplate design tho yeah it won’t be for everyone. and as a compromise you could just add a toggle. so yeah i’d love to see more brutalistic bold product design. let’s not be stuck with what we always did just cause it worked (craigslist worked too but was ugly as hell haha)

  Every ******* time. I swear Facebook Marketplace needs a special button somewhere between "Message Seller" and "Is This Available?" that simply says: "This has absolutely ****-all to do with me, so I'll keep scrolling." Apparently, however, that level of self-control remains beyond a surprisingly large percentage of the population. I'm currently selling several tactical backpacks, operator attachés and patrol bags. They are brand new, most are still in the original packaging with the tags attached, and I'm selling them for less than their normal retail price. Some of them I originally acquired through BOGO promotions. Others I bought individually. Enter Fucknuts McGinty, Marketplace Economic Correspondent and apparently self-appointed Guardian of Other People's Transactions: "You can get two of them for that price from their website." First of all... No, you ******* can't. The price I'm asking is about $40 LESS than what you'd currently pay for the equivalent purchase. But even if you could, allow me to introduce you to a revolutionary concept apparently absent from whatever remedial economics course you attended: A BOGO promotion does not mean the second item has no value. It means I bought one item at full retail price and received another item as part of the transaction. Now I own both. They're mine. I can keep them. I can give one to a friend. I can donate one to charity. I can fill one with ******* jellybeans and bury it in the garden as a time capsule. Or... And stay with me here because this is where **** gets complicated... I can sell it. What I paid for an item has absolutely ****-all to do with what that item is worth to somebody else. If I buy something for $100 and the store gives me another one as part of a promotion, that does not magically require me to give the second one away. I'm offering someone the opportunity to buy a brand-new item for less than the normal retail price without having to spend the additional money required to qualify for whatever promotion happened to exist when I bought it. Buyer saves money. I recover some money. Everybody involved in the transaction benefits. Nobody is being deceived. Nobody is being ripped off. No laws are being broken. Capitalism continues functioning. The Earth remains in orbit. Civilization somehow survives another ******* day. Which brings me to the part I genuinely don't understand: Why ******** do some people feel compelled to complain about transactions they have absolutely no intention of participating in? Don't like my price? Don't buy it. Think you've found it cheaper somewhere else? Buy it there. Already own seventeen of the ******* things? Congratulations. Keep scrolling. There are literally thousands of other Marketplace listings available for you to look at. Yet somehow there is always that one miserable bastard who apparently cannot make it through his day without finding SOMETHING, somewhere, involving complete strangers, that he can ***** and whine about. The truly remarkable part is that my selling this bag has precisely ZERO effect on his life. I didn't knock on his door. I didn't empty his bank account. I didn't hold his dog hostage until he bought a tactical backpack. I posted an item for sale. That's it. Somebody wants it at my asking price, they buy it. Somebody doesn't want it at my asking price, they don't. This incredibly sophisticated economic system has successfully operated at yard sales, flea markets, gun shows, classified ads, eBay, Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace for ******* decades. Yet apparently we're still struggling with: "If you don't want the ******* thing, don't buy the ******* thing." There. I've just condensed several centuries of free-market economics into twelve words. You're ******* welcome.

  I’m tired of opening my portfolio and seeing the lowest common denominator. I know what I’m holding. That number is not a true indication of what it’s worth. And for anyone new, watching your “value” swing on someone else’s panic sale is enough to make you walk away from the space entirely. Floor price is the price of the cheapest asset in a collection. This market decided that was the same as the asset’s price. It never was. No other asset class works this way. Legit…Nobody values a 911 by the most beat-up one on Craigslist or prices a painting by the cheapest canvas from the same studio that year. You assess the specific piece, condition, provenance, history, rights. Floor is a liquidity number. It shows what you can exit at today if you don’t care what you’re holding. Useful, but not a value number. We’ve treated the two as interchangeable for four years. Why it happened isn’t complicated. Floor is one number that updates constantly and moves on a chart…a scoreboard, and scoreboards are how casinos work. Fair value takes work: traits, lineage, provenance, holder history, license. It doesn’t flash every thirty seconds. The market took the easy number and dropped the hard one. The cost isn’t theoretical. People list assets worth multiples of floor at floor because it’s the only number put in front of them. That’s not a people problem. Nobody built the other number. An Ape is three things at once: an art piece, IP with a commercial license, and a token with technical properties that outlive the chart. None of those are priced by the cheapest one. Floor tells you what the market will pay you to stop thinking. Fair value is what it’s worth when you don’t. ApeFax drops soon and we’re about to change the way that you look at NFT‘s. Check before you ape 🦍

  @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.

  Almost five years ago, I started searching for a dog. I found a Craigslist post from a family rehoming their late father’s German Shepherds. He’d been a *******. The dogs needed homes. I went there for a specific female. But she was already gone. They introduced me to her sister — Sabrina. Thin, shut down, unsure of everything. Still, I couldn’t walk away. Something in her still reached for connection, even through fear. She came home with me that day. Now, she’s ten years old — but still acts like a pup. Loves the river. Hikes. Long naps in the sun. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. I didn’t just rescue her. She met me where I was and pulled me forward.

  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.
