Original Nazi Era German Heavy Metal HITLER Plaque - $1,250 (Youngstown. Ohio)

I don't use CL so I really could just be missing some common knowledge about how it works. I was trying to get a set of electric drums, figured I should buy used since I don't have previous experience or real preference besides working and not too costly.

Included was a short response which contained:

• interest in buying
• city, so they know I'm relatively close or in the same city even
• availability ie; I'm free anytime this Friday/Saturday
• phone number in case they wanted to text back details
• asking where to meet

I was polite and did NOT try to

• lower the price
• offer some exchange
• ask them if they'd deliver it to me instead
• tack on anything irrelevant

My boyfriend was originally who messaged. After getting a reply back pretty much instantly but no contact info, I gave the seller the benefit of the doubt and messaged myself after a few days thinking the seller got side tracked and just forgot. Nothing. The others didn't even reply back after the initial inquiry. I'm almost convinced now that CL is just nothing but bots trying to get information or maybe people that just keep items they've already sold up, and ignore messages they get rather than taking down the post. FB Marketplace was also a bunch of no reply back. I'd like to know for the future: do people really sell things used still or am I just committing some buyer faux pas?

I recently have a residential parking space available for rent listed on Craigslist, and (so far) I had two responses expressing interest.

First one from May 14 (exact words): "Hello! I am interested in renting your parking spot. What is the address?  Do you accept direct deposit?" I answered those questions about payment, but did not provide any of my contact info until she replies back. As of this post, she has not.

Second one from May 15: "Hello, I am interested in your posting for the parking space. My vehicle is a Toyota Camry. Is the space still available?" I replied that yes, the space is still available and we can discuss further. I have not heard back.

What's funny to me was I responded to their e-mails just minutes after receiving them. Is waiting 24 hours after their last e-mail message more than enough time for me to move on and either call them a Craigslist Flake or a possible spammer who wants to know my e-mail address (and other contact info) that they could exploit? I remember doing a Craigslist post several years ago, where this actually happened and I got flooded with spam e-mails for weeks. If they are not spammers and actual real people, why would they flake out so quickly when obtaining private parking spots in local neighborhoods, at least in my area, are hard to find and in demand?

I was trying to sublet a condo and now see that it’s a scam. The owner has been emailing me and their replies are suspicious. Like others have posted, they immediately asked for my personal email address. This is my first time using Craigslist and I didn’t know that was a red flag. Now that I do and I see that their reply is suspicious. What do I do now? They have a throwaway email account of mine - do I delete it? They also have my first and middle name (I used the middle name as a fake first name, and now see in my reply I signed it with my real first name by mistake). I feel bad, but I honestly didn’t know. Can they steal my identity with my first and middle name? They were trying to get me to finish an application and send funds too quickly.

I live in US, interested in buying item listed in Canada. Listed price is USD, right?

I am selling a heavy item and a buyer reached out saying he would send an Uber to pick it up but he will not be there for the exchange. He said he will pay via Zelle before I hand off the item to the Uber.

How risky is this? Since I’d be paid up front I didn’t think so, but I’m always skeptical since I’m new to this.

This seems so extra. Am I being scammed in some way?

Buyer emailed me this:

“Thanks for your heads up. I'm interested and satisfied with the asking price/condition and ready for it to be picked up. I will add $50 extra to your asking price for the hold-down fee and consider it sold to me. I'll overnight a Certified Bank check and have my mover pick up the item after the check has arrived and cleared.

I would have loved to come and take a look and purchase with cash, but my work frame { supervising manager } is tight and can't work out for me. Regarding this, kindly get back to me with the below information for the check to be made out.”

I'm looking for something and have seen multiple posts from the past week or so, and have contacted multiple people by email but have not gotten a response. Are these items not available anymore, but the postings are still up? Do people just leave them up?

What are some of the Do’s and Don’ts when posting Creative Gigs..

Can i post in a different city than the one i am in..

Thanks!

It looks like sir Craig Newmark isn't a believer of CSS3 and JavaScript. He became a billionaire but he hasn't spent any money on front end development.

My craigslist has the same 4-6 people, posting the same overpriced items, every single day, for years sometimes.

I always saw craigslist as some sort of area-wide yard sale but these guys have ruined it.

For instance, this one guy has had the same ocean fishing rod for sale, for the same price, for 3 years. We're a 3 hour drive from the ocean. He hasn't lowered the price at all over these years. At least once a week he reposts his ad. He's had the same lot of adult diapers (like 8 boxes) for sale for pretty much what they sell for in the store!

I started flagging his ads. By the time I was done he had well over 120 ads up. All "for sale by owner."

I'm not hating the game, but they shouldn't be masquerading as "owners." They should be paying their $5. If they were, craigslist might not be underfunded and would have the resources to fight the spam problem we all know about.

What can we do?

So have my bike posted. I’m in NJ and this person from NY says he’s interested and will pay full asking price.

Is asking to come see it and if he likes it will give me cash in exchange for title and keys. Then after getting insurance and registering in his state will come back to get it.

Not sure I feel comfortable with that as I would have preferred a cash and carry or most people would just take it then and there and tow it.

What stops him from reporting it stolen as once he has the title it’s legally his and I’m the fool storing it.

Thoughts??

I have several websites for sale and don't want to go on Flippa and pay to list and to sell!

This is my first time selling on Craigslist, and I received a message at almost midnight regarding a bed frame I'm selling. The message says. “I need it. Can I meet you anytime tomorrow to pick it up? I Don't check cl chat again. So, let me know at”(persons e-mail) I am fairly certain it's a scam but I wanted to know other people's opinions. Is it a scam or is it my anxiety?

I can't post pictures in the craigslist as I try to sell some stuff. Each of them is under 15 MB. Solutions?

I selected the gmail option to send initial email and we've had some correspondence this way (I only see the craigslist info for their email.) And am wondering if they get a notification that their email has been read when I open it? They just did some extra work that I didn't ok and I would like to go look at it before responding. Since I wasn't expecting an email no reason to assume I've read it yet, unless they get can tell when it's been read. I know sometimes clients have that feature.

Is it acceptable to put up a miner for sale on Craigslist?

Just curious but usually are the vehicles being sold as owner that have those paper floor mats a sign it's really being sold by a dealer? I just don't know why an owner selling a vehicle would go buy something like that and use a sheet of cardboard instead if they wanted to keep the inside looking clean.

I’m trying to hire someone on Craigslist, but some folks don’t want to share their info with me in the case that I could potentially be a scammer. Likewise, I hesitate to share my information with them in the case they are a scammer; even with just my full name you could do a search on Google and find me.

Is there a safe way an employer and an employee can share their information each other on CL in a safe way?

I have never sold anything on Craigslist before. I've tried selling a couch on several platforms all with the same issues. They want my phone number or they ghost me. I've received two emails back with an image of a phone and then a question mark. Am I to assume they want me to email them my phone number? Honestly I'd almost rather do that then give my email address. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

$600 leather couch. Driver wants a delivery fee of $100 up front via Venmo and I tried paying but the app declined the payment, as if Venmo believed it to be a scam.

I am posting several for-sale kids items. If it matters, have had the CL account for years selling, a few things a year, no flags or problematic posts.

My ad is up, and is correctly displaying <i>italics</i> and <b>bold</b> text - but when I add something like <a href="http://www.example.com">The Mfgs Page</a> it is not displayed in the preview. Further, if I click publish, then go back and edit the post - the href is not present in my html text at all.

https://www.craigslist.org/about/help/faqs/html confirms links are supposed to be supported - any idea what gives?

Thank you!

Craigslist buyer wants to buy a conf table and have the movers give me a cashier’s check when they pick up. Offered an extra $50 for holding it till pickup. Is this a scam?

1. Check any housing/apartment available section in any major/mid/small city

For example, dallas would be https://dallas.craigslist.org/search/dal/apa

2. search "pricing and availability"

3. you will see the format they use. its got callback links for tracking as well.

They probably have like 50,000 listings, atleast. the problem with this is that it destroys the spirit of craigslist, which is to keep things local and balanced. any mom/pop looking to rent their house or looking for a house will lose value by using craigslist when 80% of the posts are from an automated spam post company

Hi guys

I’m trying to sell my camera on craigslist rn and I haven’t used craigslist as much. I got an offer and the individual has sent me a check for my camera.

The check is 3k but we agreed on a 780$ price for the camera. I was shocked, I asked him what the other money was for and he asked if I could etransfer it to his account bc the money is for the ‘movers’ and he will be getting them to buy a car after my camera.

I’m a bit skeptical so I went to the bank and they verified the check as being real. Is there something fishy going on? i feel as though he wants me to send the money back for ulterior reasons.

I posted an ad for free windows (scrap metal). They were in the backyard of a rental property I own. It’s currently vacant.

I gave the guy the address. He got to the property and sent an email stating “ the ladders too.’

I quickly replied not the ladders.

He ended up taking the ladders.it was an expensive extension ladder and an 8 foot ladder. I had them locked with a bicycle lock. They were locked together.

I’m going to make a police report. The messages he sent were from the Craigslist relay system, so I don’t even have his email.

is there anything else I can do?

I've received quite a bit of response to my items using the newer chat option. Unfortunately, all of them have been scammers. I'm closing down the chat option in my listings.

Are we allowed to just talk and discuss or can we arrange to make friends and meet up on potential similar interests. Does this meet the guidelines?

r/craigslist is open again. Please post.

So I've been looking for this discontinued Ikea mirror and found it posted on cl pretty close to me. I REALLY want it. like REALLY REALLY want it. In fact I would pay double retail if I could.

It was posted two weeks ago, I emailed the seller a few days after it was listed.

Since then, I have followed up twice, made two new gmail accounts to email from (incase mine weren't going through), however NO RESPONSE!!!!! They don't have any other contact up so this is all I can do.

I thought it got sold, but it was updated 6 hours ago (I have been checking the post daily) (Still no response).

I just emailed again and left my phone number.

Does anyone know what I should do?? I need this mirror so badly. I have been searching cl, offerup, and fb marketplace for the past 4 months. Nothing in my state but this.

Is he scared of me? so confused why I got no response on all 3 emails. What did I do!!! If anyone knows what I should do please LMK. I would do anything for this mirror.
