craigslist 12+

I had not used Craigslist for selling anything before and was hesitant as I had no clue how to post, add pictures or even describe what I was selling. Oh WOW, it was so simple that even a grandmother who rarely uses the internet could follow the easy steps!
I did have someone contacting me that felt very scam like, but Craigslist had made available what to look out for in cases like this. Much like a dating website, if someone shows interest but happens to be out of town at the time and wants your information, 🚩 RED FLAG!
In only 2 days I had the PERFECT BUYER and a huge heavy piece of furniture removed from my home without me having to lift a thing! My suggestion to anyone selling an item is, GO WITH YOUR GUT, post honestly and state your exact stipulations for the sale. My post covered that this piece of furniture would require two strong people and a truck or trailer, that my $200 fee was non-negotiable and when I wanted it gone by. All my stipulation were met!
Good luck!

Used CPlus for years. Glad they finally put out an official app.

-1 star for what's always been an issue with Craigslist, regardless of platform. Abuse and lax enforcement. Most people on there are fine, but occasionally you run into unhinged people, and there is no help or recourse. I understand it's a small (and often free!) operation, but there are solutions. At the very least, they should be scanning for ads which are substantially the same and not allowing them. The most recent abuser I got didn't like that I took 45 min to respond to his text and got it in his mind that I was a scammer. So he copied my entire ad, including pictures, and added "this is a scam" to it, in multiple places. The pics at the very least, particularly in the same city, should be enough to flag based off some hash and prevent them from posting. I emailed the contact us for faked ads and never heard back. I didn't get any responses to my ad for a week until I could flag it enough times from different connections and devices to have it removed. Not cool. Imagine for people who have their contact info revenge posted.

Love browsing thru all the interesting things for same in Craigslst! You never know what you might find! It’s rather like a treasure hunt and if you dig into the ads long enough, you’re sure to find you very own “pot at the end of the rainbow“ as the saying goes.

Besides buying stuff, you can also hire locals for part time gigs Always successful when I need to sell something, listing it on Craigslist gets the job done and when I need to hire someone for a gig or similar such situation, there are always plenty of people to respond to the ad! I’ve hired for all sorts of odd jobs have and for the most part, have had a pleasant experience!

Of course as with all things, you must exercise common sense and weed iut the chattel from the grain but once you’ve taken the time to do so, I’d wager you’ll be pleased with the results!
