Craigslist

Craigslist is unfair and full of:
spam and scam
steals and wheels
foodstuffs and cuffs
bootlegs and beer kegs
tragic endings and happy endings
Make sure to handle business locally only kids!

Craigslist is the best website ever. Need a job? Craigslist. Need a home? Craigslist. Need some funky antique chair or Mae West art to complete your 1930’s bordello motif? Craig is your man!
There’s nothing that can’t be found on Craigslist. There’s everything from long-​lost family heirlooms (I actually did find a shipping crate from Great-​Great Grandpa’s brewery) to the bizarre and strange (such as the ad a year ago for «high quality, genetically superior baby batter.»)
Oh Craigslist, how I love thee!

A million stars for ‘Best of Craigslist’
A deduction of many of those for ‘CL flake factor’ when trying to buy or sell but really, this is the best game in town for finding a job, buying furniture, finding someone to provide household and/​or more personal services.
Thank you, Craig for this fantastic (AND FREE) service.

love craigslist!!! buy and sell stuff here all the time.

Ohhhhh Craigslist. I think its a great website (except for those erotic postings and sketchy trades) but for the most part its good to check out especially if you are looking to sell/​buy the top three following:
–Electronics/​Cell phones
–Tickets
–Jobs
Cameras, cell phones, ipods, gaming systems, TVs… some are for really great low-​ended prices. I got my ipod touch for $ 120, no scratches, like-​new, already had music/​paid apps, & came with 2 cases.
With tickets, its better if you are Selling. People jack up the prices especially for popular sporting games/​concerts. If you have extra tix, post it! You’ll certainly make some profit in most cases, especially if a show is Sold-​out!
Jobs-I’ve found some temporary/​contract gigs for fun, that pertained to my interest and got paid. Maybe you will find something?
Also, furniture is a good place to look, you just have to check very frequently to snatch the good deals. (Esp. with electronics/​tickets) I’ve experienced and had 2 – 3 people contact the person before me with the item after of only 5 minutes of posting!
However, beware that people are flaky, they call say they want it, but is a no-​show. Therefore, with more experience esp if you are selling, it shouldn’t come as a surprise. Instead, my bf says that if they person is undecided, let them know you have people calling about it already ahead of you – it usually helps.
Lastly, be careful when meeting to exchange! Meet at a public place, (i.e. mall) or if you can’t, always bring another person with you.

Bought a milion things. sold a million things. helping each of us Seattlites trade our crap one thing at a time. what would I do without craigslist!!!

I’ve also bought, sold, and gotten rid of stuff on CL. The site gets 5 stars, but some of the douchey sellers get 3. Show up, people!
Also, I found my husband here. And NOT in the erotic section.

Love Criagslist…
I tend to sell more than I buy. Some people are flakes and they almost always try to talk you down in price (so mark up 20% and put OBO on the ad), then they don’t show up or show up at 11pm at night!
But overall… have had positive experiences!

Three reasons I love CList:
–Great place to find what you’re looking for! I’ve found two cars, places to live, a free couch, a job, one of my kitties, etc.
–The personals never fail to amuse me. I especially love the detailed missed connections and have secretly (not so much of a secret anymore) wanted one for years.
–The best-​of section is so funny! If you haven’t checked it out yet, do so now!

I love love love Craigslist…
First of all — where else can you find a place for FREE things! I have used this search for movie props and have scored some seriously awesome items — things I rarely admit I got for free! Some examples: Crate & Barrel Armoire — fully functional/​beautiful, Restoration Hardware Sofa — too good to be true??? I think not! And a beautiful dining table that truly will stay with me until I die! Close friends (the only people I tell I haven’t purchased these items) now also scour Craigslist looking for killer deals.
As for the furniture, services etc… I mean you can’t go wrong. No pushy sales people — no one hassling you about warranty or upsell — I get to shop from my couch! I love it!
I sold my 67′ Mustang, half my furniture, and random items on this site for years — I truly don’t know what I did before Craigslist. And just this year??? I scored a job as a Marketing Director — where did the head hunter find me? From a responded Craigslist ad…
There is a dark side to Craigslist — so beware. Do NOT let people send you checks and have you send them the extra — it’s a scam. And be careful ladies. We have all heard about the craigslist killer of the couple of women that have been assaulted when responded to an ad. Use good judgement — go with a friend… bring some mace?
And if not — bring the deals on for me!!!

You really can review anything on Unilocal can’t you.
Craigslist has always been there for me when I’ve needed to get a coffee table in a hurry or sell my ex’s porn collection he left at my apartment.
Its found me multiple jobs, and I’ve even made a few friends on it. It found me a date once but that didn’t work out so well (mr. creepy was sooo not aware that skinny ties went out of style about 15 years ago)…
And its set up so ghetto any geek in the world must love it but dear lord would you guys update your user interface?!

I’ve bought/​sold, found apts, jobs and events on CL for about 10yrs.
The buying part is fairly easy. However, why post an ad if you do not respond to emails?
Selling stuff was easy too, I think I was lucky that my people weren’t flakes.
Getting employment via CL was also a mixed bag. At the time I applied to dozens of positions, and maybe 25% got back to me with interviews (I guess that’s still a good return). Some never responded after applying, which is very annoying and unprofessional. The job I got there was crappy but I was there for a year, it was something to do.
It’s usually worth a look to their events tab to see if there’s anything good, or you can post something of your own.
But it takes time to sift through all the junk there. I find that CL buying is best when you aren’t looking for anything specific. Example: We have been looking for a dining set. I set up the filters and clicked through the ads, which sometimes list other items for sale. I caught a glimpse of a blue wingback chair in one of the pics. it was for sale! We have its mate, purchased 10yrs ago. So we made arrangements to buy this one.
We’ve also purchased a red English phone booth, a whiskey barrel bar, and a cool wine rack/​storage thingie all from CL… without specifically searching for them.
We have NOT found a dining set (specific item) and decided to buy from a real store. Boo’urns.
Anyways, CL is a nice time suck. It has a simple interface that you can view even under the slowest of internet speeds and their Rants/​Raves and Missed Connections are amusing to read.

I have used Craigslist for a few years now and it works if people are willing to work with it. There are so many flakes or people who will try to lowball you on prices, it can get frustrating at times. Another frustrating thing is the fact that there are so many scams on there. We were looking for a house not too long ago and almost everyone I responded to replied back with some scammy stuff. Not cool. The scammers are everywhere on CL… the selling section, job section, and the housing section. And what someone else said about never getting replies about jobs… that’s SO true. I have responded to countless ads for employment and for every 1 reply I get back there were 9 that didn’t bother. But like I said, if you can weed through the scammers and flakes CL can be a useful tool.

Craigslist I love you! If you are one of the two or three people remaining in the world that don’t know about craigslist — get on it! Even the Pittsburgh CL is an active community of people that buy, sell, offer services (of all imaginable kinds) and discuss things. The skies the limit with this website!

It’s simple!
It works!
I furnished most of my apartment with items from moving and garage sales from craigslist.
I have tried to date from c/​l.
I have volunteered from c/​l.
I found a part time job through them. I got another on-​call job from c/​l.
Scroll it, troll it, find interesting things which round out your life.
** NOTE It is an internet service. I do advise using caution. don’t give anyone there or anywhere else your social security number.
Decide if you wish to use your entire contact info when submitting resumes to blind ads.

OK so its a free site for the most part
and you can go there and sell shit or buy shit or just vent about shit, or just be the evil hateful shit head that you are and post mean shit.
but most people go here to sell stuff they don’t need anymore or to get enough bucks to pay the bills when short or they just need a hook up you can get that here too weather it be weed or ass
or maybe you just don’t want to pay full price for something like me, I scored a new I-​Pod 80 gig today with video for a bill and a half, and they even gave me some portable speakers with it Score !!!
I have used it for all the above probably over the years except for the weed I don’t partake anymore even tho I think it should be legal but that’s a whole other box of worms in its self
and if you need a good laugh read the best of section

Craigslist is the shit, yo! I’ve gotten my place and my J-​O-​B through craigslist. I’ve met great friends, had great dates, and not so great friends and dates through craigslist. I got into pole dancing through craigslist (classes NOT a job, folks). I sold a new entertainment stand real quick. I did try to sell some jeans with no success but hey, I still gots nothing but love for this site.
Craigslist can pretty much get you whatever you want. Want a BBW? A place in Capitoi Hiil? An old hipster bike? Someone to hook you up with the green? Try craigslist!

Craigslist IS great. Get a job, post a job, buy a dog, a frog, or even some used logs. Need some love, post an ad. Need tickets to a gig, check out craig, he’s got everything just to make you glad.
Seriously, craigslist is a neato place to buy or sell many things… but what’s up with Craigslist flakes? Can we start a thread entitled «this one craigslist flake…» I’m sure we all have at least 3 stories, right? (like the guy who showed up 4 hours late, and drunk and his excuse was that he was shopping at Fred Meyer?)

Craigslist is the best. I have found my house, job, car, snowboard, bikes, and various other items from this useful free classified posting service. F-​ebay go Craigslist.
the free section has some entertaining offers from time to time to kill odd some office boredom.
