Whats so good about craigslist?
 
never been a big fan of craigslist ever since its inception. sometimes i browse the site if i'm looking for a laugh or two in the personals section.
do people actually buy and sell stuff legitimately there even though half of the stuff is stolen or black marketed goods/fakes.

so tell me why craigslist is still so popular. the site has got one of the most unappealing designs. am i the only one who thinks it sucks?
:confused:

When I moved overseas and needed to get rid of furniture and electronics, Craigslist was the fastest option.

Unless you are buying items at way below market value (and then you should know it's a rip off or stolen goods) CL is a pretty nice marketplace.

craigslist gets a lot of traffic

but a lot of stolen stuff is sold on there because its free to post

No, but the market for legit stuff is pretty big.

v1nce 02-18-2009 06:24 PM

AsBannedAsItGets 02-18-2009 06:26 PM

ionno its like at least here you know they have feedback ratings and i doubt there's many psychos on this website but craigslist could have like weirdos or serial killers
whats with their tacky website layout. for being a popular website they need to get new website engineers

it used to be good a few years back when it wasnt flooded with fucking whole salers and ppl selling fake shit

u could actually post stuff and have it sold.. now it gets pushed back a page because of so much traffic you pretty much need to make a thread a day to keep up... so fucking gay

Gridlock 02-18-2009 06:36 PM

Craigslist made me 50k last year alone. Total paid to CL? Zero.

Blasted out a bunch of shit in the free section where people actually came and picked up stuff I would have had to pay to dump.

Yeah, I think its a pretty awesome deal.

Zheff 02-18-2009 06:52 PM

I sold quite a bit of my junk on there.

Just hate it when I post an item for a certain price, example asking $100, the actual item cost like $150+tax, an a$$wipe replies with $20. ~.~

Culture_Vulture 02-18-2009 06:52 PM

CL sucks now.
It used to be a pretty legit marketplace where you don't have to worry much about getting scammed. Now...I beg to differ.
Of course, I haven't used it for ages, but CL's gotten quite notorious for scammers and fucked up sellers.

LOL. Well said. Thank you.

ZhangFei 02-18-2009 07:17 PM

has anyone seen the ad where it says something like

GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC OR DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK AND YOU KEEP THE ITEM

is that a catch 22?

Jason00S2000 02-18-2009 07:21 PM

CL is a good example of internet culture.

Jassanova 02-18-2009 07:36 PM

use kijiji instead
