  @greta The cost to repair my beautiful ruby red LG set was enormous. A lovely couple purchased it from I listing I posted on Craigslist. The husband was a repairman. I fully disclosed the washing machine issue. Well, 2years later … I just saw it on the side of the road. Hate my GE set.

  @the7maxims Look for a used car online and set a price range. Also, Craigslist still exists. Lemon law is still a thing if you have issues after purchase.

  @HieroBorschtEsq I believe in you. Don’t let the Craigslist removal of back page get you 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?

  @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.

  @skillissuesf @dieworkwear Bruv, if you can't find a place to make a sweatshirt for $400 in the US that is the very definition of skill issue. You could probably get people willing to make them by hand with just a Craigslist ad for that kind of money.

  @HHorsley That's because every section on craigslist, including the original email list itself was organic. Craig first made the list as just a bcc: email to a handful of friends to announce or promote local arts showings or events. Those emails got forwarded and a handful of readers became hundreds. Then he switched to an email list server software - Majordomo I think - and from there people asked to include other goods, services, job, etc. in the emails. Then he built the craigslist website. Most all of the categories came from user requests and demand. Even some of the $$ pay-per-post $$ functions came from users and advertisers who asked that he charge a fee to keep scammers at bay.

  @GPX_News See if you're @X you have to vet this because you run the risk of being the Craigslist of Social Media down the line.

  6. I sold stuff. I got rid of a lot of stuff. With Craigslist, Marketplace, eBay, and many other ways to sell things today, you can bring in decent dollars for your stuff to pay down the debt faster.

  @MakadiaHarsh Craigslist is still one of the ugliest sites on the internet and processes billions in transactions. Speed to solving the problem will always beat polish.

  A young Swedish woman, who described herself as having extraordinary beauty and extremely seductive charms posted an anonymous ad on Craigslist stating that she was looking for a wealthy man to marry with an annual income of over $500,000, plus several conditions. She received a response from a commenter, as follows: - My dear beautiful lady... I read your post with interest, and I think many beautiful girls have questions similar to yours. Allow me to analyze your questions as a professional investor. My total annual income is over $500,000, which perfectly matches your requirements. From my perspective as a businessman, it would be a bad decision to marry you. Here's my short answer, and let me explain why: "Regardless of the details, what you're doing now is a pure transaction. An exchange of your "beauty" for "my money." Person A has the beauty, and Person B will pay money for that beauty. A perfectly fair and straightforward transaction. However, there's a fatal problem here: your beauty will inevitably diminish over the years, while my money isn't expected to diminish without a strong reason. The truth is, my income will likely increase from year to year, while you won't be any more beautiful in a few years. So, from an economic perspective, I represent an "asset" whose value increases over time, while you represent a "consumer" asset whose value decreases. If your beauty is all you own, things will get worse because you won't be a normal consumer product, but rather a product with a very high depreciation rate that will completely expire within 10 years.

  @anistotle_ If you want a grim laugh. Scroll through the used car listings on Craigslist or FB marketplace. You'll see the same carbon copy energy in the ads as you would see on the dating apps. Instead of everyone liking hiking, tacos, movies and music, it's "runs strong", "new tires", "just had $1500 of maintenance done" Sir, that 2005 Dodge Avenger with 200,000mi isn't worth what you're asking and will break down the minute you look at it wrong.

  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_ 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.

  @fuitsnack I did this and first the guy got mad at me for leaving ***** clothes in my own private bathroom that no one else used, so he made me move to a much smaller room for the same price. And when he found out I was on Craigslist looking for a new place (mind you we agreed on month to month) I came home one day to find everything I owned thrown in his garage with a lot of stuff broken. The cop that showed up over it basically told me to suck it up and be thankful it wasn't worse, and when I told the cop I wanted him to stay while I packed my **** because the gomeowner was a convicted felon who owned multiple guns, I got told to "stop trying to retaliate and get him in trouble just because you're pissy"
