Why are there so many strange responses in Craigslist when you give away or sell used stuff? They almost look like bots and sometimes they don’t respond after the first message. So weird.

#Craigslist

Okay! Another two cubic yards of volume reclaimed!

Making progress!

I've now unearthed one of the six outlets I need to be able to get to in my upcoming electrical upgrade....

#Craigslist #ZeroWaste

Woo Hoo! Just reclaimed *another* cubic foot of space!

TFW you make a date for someone to pick up a thing you're giving away and then...nothing? Like, two different people?

#Craigslist

So I have this neighbor who's wonderful and helpful. I said, "I'm having trouble finding enough boxes of the right size to give away my magazine collection."

THE NEXT DAY, I am buried in boxes 😂

I just let him know that the ones I didn't use just got gifted on to someone who needed A Whole Lot.

Neighbor's response: "So, should I collect some more boxes for you?"

"If you invoke it, you have to dispel it!" 😂 ❤️

#Craigslist #MutualAid

Oy vey.

Just unloaded all the unused boxes. I'm actually beginning to be able to see portions of my living room floor again that haven't been visible since early July.

Just doin' my bit to keep the matter stream moving....

So, is the function of Human Life, just simply schlepping stuff from Point A to Point B?

#Craigslist

#Craigslist Life:

"Do you still have it? Can I come get it?"

"Yes. [My location] Please text [phone number] when you arrive to pick it up."

"This looks just too much like a scam if you want me to text when I arrive. If it's
real, then I guess I lose out."

Okay, wait: I'm giving this away for FREE, & I want to know when you arrive so I can bring it out to you?

What would I be scamming you FOR? Also: you now have MY physical location & MY phone. Who's more at risk?

Dude, seriously, wtaf?

Woo hoo!! The magazines have left the house!!!

I now have a new 1 or 2 cubic yards of Fresh! Empty! Space! in my house!

This makes me kind of ridiculously happy.

#Craigslist

What's the Craigslist protocol if Person A says "I want it! I can pick it up tomorrow night!" and then Person B says "I want it, I can pick it up now!"

My inclination is that the first person to actually physically come get it is "First Come"?

What do you think?

This whole gifting thing on CL is more nuanced than I would have thought.

#Craigslist

Okay! I now have a shiny new 3³ft of unoccupied space in my house.

And confirmation that People Don't Read.

Dude. I *explained* all that in the ad!

#Craigslist

I should have taken a picture, but at the store the clerk showed me his #Ibanez #HRGiger series electric guitar from behind the counter. I was a huge Giger fan in my late teens and, weirdly, had JUST discovered the existence of these yesterday morning when I stumbled across one on #Craigslist, so it was wild to see another one in person the same day.

The clerk said a guy had brought it in for consignment and he had personally purchased it from him on the spot.

This looks like a great deal on a grocery getter in #Madison #Wisconsin. It’s just up the road from the #CargoBikeShop.

With all of the fediverse tech from Lemmy and WriteFreely to Pixelfed and Mastodon it seems like nobody has considered an ActivityPub Marketplace.

We need to bring Craigslist into the fold.

Someone answered my #DocSavage novels #Craigslist ad mentioning they're in Oregon, by Potrland, and my brain ran a few clicks on "but I thought I posted in the Vancouver BC Craigslist and not the Vancouver WA one."

I can ship from Point Roberts, but I hadn't considered anyone in a nation of 390 million, within driving distance of Powells Books, would answer my ad.

A step towards productivity:
Photographed six estate items, four, one being a 1946 paperback collection of Chas. Addams cartoons with Boris Karloff Foreword, are on #craigslist, offered to an #AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons collector "Mertwig's Maze".

Watch nobody signal interest.

I'm clearing out the junk I no longer want here at Casa Graham. Pretty good response to the #CraigsList and FB Mktplace ads! Rly on a roll.
My god - what CAN'T i sell?

Hey @liaizon – @grindhold introduced his federated #craigslist alternative software “Flohmarkt” (German for #fleamarket) at #fedicamp today, and his audience was instantly hooked: https://codeberg.org/grindhold/flohmarkt

The #Flohmarkt logo needs some love. It's the double arrow you see in the upper left corner e.g. of this pioneering Flohmarkt instance: https://flowmarkt.ola.lol/

It would make a fine addition to your list of #SVG logos of Fediverse projects. You showed it to me but I can't find it now.
