Do people still use Craigslist?

[Anonymous]

I had sort of forgotten that it exists but a friend was just telling me he used it to hire a photographer and sell a bike. Does anyone use it? Is it better and more reliable for some things than others?

Yes

Facebook market place or Nextdoor. Craigslist is dead.

Lots of con artists. Never, never, never try to sell a car on Craigslist. The ad will attract every car thief in the area and far beyond. If you do advertise a car on Craigslist NEVER let a potential buyer test drive it (they will strip parts in a few minutes) and wear driving gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. Not kidding.

+1 And there was the sweet, trusting older couple in southest Georgia that got murdered by a small town con artist when they went there to buy a vintage Mustang.

I use it for consumer focus groups announcements; they are legit

I used it recently to buy a glider and ottoman. I'd been trolling Facebook marketplace for a couple of months and didn't find anything I liked or it would be sold super fast. Was ready to order on pottery barn, about to hit submit and decided to check craigslist. I found the glider I wanted but never thought I'd have because it's $1600 plus $400 for the ottoman, for $500 for both. So--craigslist is still around and it worked in my favor since it wasn't listed on Facebook.

As a frequent seller, I’ve had far more luck on Facebook Marketplace lately.

Sounds like a great way to catch car thieves!

Agree Craigslist is dead

It was busy during the pandemic but since then it seems dead. Facebook marketplace seems more popular.

Good if you get some easy money, but doing consumer research on the nice Craigslist users is not great info for business.

Nope. FB Marketplace and Nextdoor feels more reliable to me.
