So, what are your thoughts on Craigslist? Should more regulations be placed on craigslist sekks? What about bootlegs sold on craigslist? Share your opinions on this very sensitive matter.
Craigslist serves more as lulz for me than anything else. It's funny to look up how many meth heads live in your area. Just search tina under personals 😛.
To sort of bump this topic; people on craigslist are really stupid. I mean god damn, I see people selling dvds "of any tv show or movie", even shows not released on DVD. Who the hell still buys from bootleggers?
Craigslist is pretty awesome. Ive sold cars and stuff I dont need anymore through that site. I bought a refrigerator and my cockatiels (birds) from people who put an ads on craigslist recently.
The great thing about craigslist is that it doesnt have that many restrictions and you can put an ad for pretty much anything imaginable on there. Its up to the person responding to the ad to be cautious, ask lots of questions and take steps to avoid getting screwed over.
But usually, it's the same exact thing as say a yard sale or something. As long as you don't send people money via paypal/credit then it's most likely legit.
Craigslist is good for looking for a job, or looking to hire someone for a job since companies are starting to use Craigslist because it is cheaper then putting an advertisement in the Newspaper, and other job listing services like monster.com.
I know people who sold old TVs to other people who use Craigslist instead of selling it to a pawn shop.
I buy tons of stuff on craigslist, I just make sure the person is legit, ask questions ETC talk to them on the phone, then we meet in a public area, library, ETC.
Craigslist is like a giant flea market on the internet. Of course you are going to have people who use it for nefarious reason's and there's no way to police it 100%. I think for the most part people know what their getting with certain ads. So, you either take it down or leave it alone. My vote is leave it alone.
We have the same sort of thing in the UK it is called GumTree
I sold my freezer on Gumtree was free to advertise and my freezer went with 24 hours of posting it which was great for me
I have mostly used Craigslist to do job search, as the volunteer work that I do..... that is my main task. I think it is a great way to find more unique jobs that other sites may not have.
I have been curious and did peek at the M 4 M once and there were lot's of dirty ugly guys on there XD
I think people themselves just need to be very careful.
