Craigslist.org

#220−2106:
Craigslist can be both an amazing way of finding free/​inexpensive items for your house (couch, bread machine, table, chairs…) and a big pain in …
Being a free website, you are bound to find questionable items, shady people and a pletora of not so greatly shaped knickknacks.
The website is subdivided into several parts, there is a bit for just about anyone. And there also is a social part (friendship and relationship alike). But, are you sure you truly want to take your chances there?
Electronics are also another part I wouldn’t recommend you ventured into.
But, overall… not such as bad site. However, every city has their own which means oftentimes some cities have much more to offer than others.
Oh, and that is clearly more so in the US/​Canada region than elsewhere

Something to sell?
Skill to share?
Looking for a hookup and Tindr is failing you?
Trying to find that person you locked eyes with across the subway station?
Want to buy furniture cheap?
Craigslist. The offerings here are vast. People use it for all sorts of things. Buying, selling, sex, and more.
As a result this site has gone many renovations throughout the years. They have had some issues. They now need to manage their «adult pages» better.
But, pretty much whatever you are looking for, if it’s legal, can be found here. May take a little time, but it will probably turn up eventually.

Craigslist is the best website to sell things on and sometimes good for spotting something good to buy.
All the jobs I applied for was through this site and they were legit too. I found my first laid-​back job at a Country club through this website. Such a wonderful job, I can say the best one I had in a long time and I also found my ADT sales rep job on here which wasn’t so much of a good job, but amazing pay.
My favorite is «free stuff», «jobs», «best of craigslist», and «farm and garden».
The farm and garden selection is always full of great vegetables and fruits for cheap. I used to buy my plants from this guy out in West Houston, he had a jungle of plants, mostly rare plants like purple tomatoes. He sold me 10 bushes for only $ 5.
My banana tree was purchased from a landscaper for only $ 10.
I recently spotted this lady out in Manvel selling organic plants for $ 2 per pot. She had all kinds of vegetables and even a makeshift greenhouse.
Also, the free stuff selection isn’t always good, but they do have some cool stuff mostly curb alerts that aren’t ever in my area, of course!
Now one section I haven’t had no luck in is strictly platonic. Since its inevitably difficult to find real true friends in Houston, TX, I figured making a post to find friends. I did actually talk and meet up with this girl who was a vegan, she was nice, and pretty, but suddenly stopped talking to me which is considered the NORM for Houstonians.
I’ve given up on searching for friends since living in the big city for 6 years, so you can basically say I live a sad mundane life.
Anywho, the site is really good and viewed as bad because of the «Craigslist killer».
I’ve never had a dangerous experience with anyone I’ve encountered through this website. I’ve always met up at a public place with other people around.
I will continue to use this site for future selling and buying.
Speaking of buying, if you are a college student, Craigslist is the best spot to find cheap textbooks. I’ve bought majority of my textbooks through this site especially a brand new chemistry book being sold for $ 350+ on the web, but the guy sold it to me for $ 65. Good deal!
The best of Craigslist is good for laughs, just go scroll over there to see for yourself.

Craigslist works quite well. What makes craigslist not work so well, are flakey people, late people, time wasters.
California i heard is notorious for having the highest percetage of flakes. So if you live and do business on craigslist here, thats what your going to deal with. I cant count how many times people call to set apointment then they flake on the time they set. Not bothering to call back
. I honestly beleive their is a rogue element or 5^th columnist organisations that hire scum to do this. I also believe in addition to harmful pharmaceuticals and poor mainstream medical practices, chemtrails, mainstream media programming, weaponized food products, water flouridation, may also play a factor in why theese persons act this way.
The reliable folks make it worthwhile though.

You can find a few useful things from Craigslist if you really look. I have gone to the tickets section and traded a few different concerts or basketball games in the past. Just met with the person and decided to how to conduct business. I have gotten free movie tickets, free food, free storage boxes, books, and a free Nintendo game boy advance game in the past and stuff.
Also found some decent 1 day paying jobs with anything from moving stuff around to extra work in a Rap Video in brooklyn to extra work letting you know how to get paid just by being in the audience of popular tv show. A friend and I also saved the day once at a bachelor party and hired some fine latina strippers on a dime from the site and they got there pretty fast, lol. Very entertaining and saved the day in a non-​sex for every guy kind of way.
I actually enjoy reading the Missed Connections section, it is really funny. I have even thought of posting there once or twice, but figure I would only get unbelieveably stupid responses. I have also found really cool people who just wanted to hang out over a weekend when I was bored out of my mind and really lost. Not saying I trust people that much, but it worked out when it did. I am kind of a freak but even I don’t look for bedroom partners on the site, that is a bit too much I think. You never know I guess, but there are some crazy fucking people in NY, that just increases your chances of crazy and will probably cost you 200 «roses» as they say on the site.
I am actually still surprised how much stuff is in the «free» area, check it out sometime.

All the things I’ve found on Craigslist:
1. husband
2. dog
3. best friend
4. apartment
5. motorcycle
6. car
7. job
…and a host of other sundries.

People will hate me for saying this but… I «heart» you Craigslist!
Effectively, craigslist has changed my life. I found so many treasures from Craigslist. I have also successfully sold items like furniture and concert tickets on Craigslist. Hell, I even found a roommate on Craigslist! When you’re looking for items and don’t want to pay retail, Craigslist can be the answer. A) its free to post B) It’s free to browse. It’s great!
Yay for Craigslist!

«WOOO! GET HOOKED UP!» That’s what they should rename this site.
I have found all of my employment and free furniture on this website. I could’ve gotten by in San Francisco without it, but not without terrible hardship.

Craig’s List find me a job
Find me a match
Find me a roommate
Find me an apartment
Find me a couch
Find me a DSLR camera
Find me a find!
I’ve been utlizing their services since my post-​college life for various categories. Their job postings appears legitimate, while their responses for furniture ads are fraudulent.
I rate Craig’s List four stars as they do not filter out unwanted spam as I was trying to sell large pieces of furniture from an ad posting only to receive fraudulent responses. I achieve immense success of old fashion advertisment by printing flyers in MS Word to be posted in laundry rooms in my building as well as word-​of-​mouth.

There’s really nothing wrong about this website! =)
It’s a wonderful idea to help people around the world to use it for all kinds of things from finding their soul mate to finding a job…
It’s very useful and user friendly!
I’ve sold many, many designer things on here that I wanted to get rid of. =) My bf and I got a lot things to fill up our house instead of buying it… The prices for some furniture are ridiculous…
There’s some things that I don’t like on there. And you guys all know what I’m talking about…=p

Craig’s List is like a never ending labyrinth through which you have to maneuver so as to not contract an STD. So when you’re attuned to how it «works,» it can be a best friend. I’ve used it for about two years.
If you need a couch, you have to be incredibly selective; a friend of a friend mentioned something about a friend getting crabs. If you need a one night stand, you have to be incredibly selective; a friend of a friend’s cousin may have contracted gonorrhea.
Okay — I jest, a little. I love reading the «Missed Connections,» section, where, when the person doesn’t have the juice to start a conversation on, say, the F train, with someone with potential rapport, they post it on CL. «We had the visual eye secks, but I was too shy. You’re probably never going to read this, but I love you.»
I’ve gotten some rare books, my Palm Treo after losing my LG chocolate at a B&T bar (shudder), and met people through CL. Their «best of CL» section once made me laugh until I half-​snorted at work. Many friends have successfully brokered living quarters here too. So, yeah, kill some time, make sure you bring protection, and use Craigslist.

So helpful. I mean — what can I write that the HUNDREDS of previous reviewers haven’t?
I have gotten dog walkers and baby sitters (after a thorough background check — lots of idiots out there) from Craigslist and also sold a hard to sell item.
Yay!

You can find everything and anything on craigslist! Even if your just bored and want a good laugh, I recommend reading the best of craigslist (
).
simple and very fulfilling =)

Where else can you: get a free TV while renting an apartment, find a local softball game while selling your pog collection, and arrange a «casual encounter» all within 4 – 6 mouse clicks?
No where!!!

Having had a bad experience when I was younger with craigslist and some revenge tactics, I’m not the hugest fan. I have tried to do several transactions via craigslist but have yet to go through with more than one. I think it’s definitely a great place to get stuff and sell stuff when possible.
Recently, I managed to list some car parts on craigslist which received great hits in my email box and I’ve begun looking for an SUV to purchase where craigslist was highly helpful in my search.
I just wish they would come out with a PETS section now!

Love it. Hate it. Use it constantly.
Found my new place through it. Advertise the restaurant I work at. Put up anything I want to get rid of (laundry card, starbucks apron, etc.)

I thought about writing a «Missed Connection» once…
A few years ago, as I was going through a dark and ugly bout of «just f*cking leave me alone”-litude, I met a girl.
There I sat, brooding, sulky, and somber, staring at the bottom of a never-​ending gin and tonic (…thank you, Sim, girl! You will forever be one of my favorite b’tenders… you’re so hawt too, geez…). And despite my disgruntled demeanor, introverted posture, and palpable «F*CK OFF”-edness, this beautiful and svelte slender thang sided up next to me in that empty [D&B] bar.
She smiled as much with her eyes as she did her lips.
She talked.
I listened.
She talked.
I grumbled.
She talked.
I murmured.
She talked.
She talked.
She talked.
… and then I laughed.
For the first time in a long time… I laughed.
The rest of the night…
WE talked.
WE giggled.
WE laughed.
We vibed till the lights came on and the parking lot emptied.
«Get better,» she said.
«I will.»
«Good night.»
‘G’night.»
Yeah, I thought about writing a «missed connection» once, but sometimes you gotta just let things be what they are…
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
We crossed paths in a crosswalk a week ago.
Familiarity. Then slightest glimmer of recognition.
We paused… but sometimes you gotta just let things be what they are.
She still smiles as brightly with her eyes as she does with her lips…

Hmm, craigslist is a 3.5 stars in my book. I’ll put it at 3 because of all the penis pictures I get sent to me when I’m making an ad giving away free books.
Other than the occasional flake and weirdo, I’ve had great success with craigslist. I’ve found apartments to rent, platonic friends, people willing to do the random things I want to do, purses to buy, free things, activities, and late night amusement as I read best of craigslist.
Negative things are the psychos that are desperate for girlfriends and send form e-​mails to any post that is put up. The person who thinks whatever you’re writing is some kind of front for casual NSA sex. Spammers. Flakes. And the sketchy.
My advice? Buy mace.

Below is a list of things I’ve aquired from Craiglist over the years:
Bakers Rack (free)
Boyfriend (free, but there were taxes and he expired after half a year)
Kitchen table (free)
Bookshelves ($ 10 each)
Three roommates (First, Last, and Security)
The ability to rant about anything (free)
And things friends of mine have aquired:
Stereo system ($ 50)
Leaf blower ($ 20)
Really big bookshelves ($ 20 each)
Living Room Set ($ 190)
Queen Size Bed Frame ($ 45)
Random NSA Sex (Free)
Long-​term boyfriend as result of random NSA sex in another state! (seriously, this happened)
Also, I’ve sold a bunch of stuff, including some furniture for more than I originally paid for it.
Craigslist rocks.
If they could weed out the recent surge of spam posts, I’d give ‘em five stars.

Dear Sexii Panda nom nom. I am addicted to your posts. I’ve been neglecting my work and on the computer too much eagerly awaiting your comments. I’m too scared to go to DYL because of my awkwardness. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be… like a rare orchid to be admired from a distance. I tried to stalk you at the waxing parlor and dressed up as the technician to do your brazilian on your nether region. I think you knew the gig was up because I wasn’t wearing gloves. I’m so embarrassed.
I LOVE YOU. 5 stars. :D :D
