On the one hand, it's a great platform for finding affordable deals and unique items. But on the other hand, navigating through the endless listings and scammers can be frustrating and overwhelming. I've had good and bad experiences using Craigslist, from finding my dream apartment to dealing with dishonest sellers. It's a love-hate relationship. Still, I'd recommend using this platform.

5/21 I used Craigslist to find a local mover. It worked out excellent! Not only did Larry show up 10 min. Early, he and his partner worked fast and efficiently. I would recommend Budget Moving Service in Grand Rapids. I wish I could go on his ad and rate him there instead of doing it this way.

Tip for consumers:
The owner of the moving co. returned my phone call within minutes. He is honest, hardworking and very skilled at moving. In 3 hrs. the contents of the 2 bd. rm. apt. was moved 30 miles to new home. Larry is the owner. He listened to what I needed done. He gave us the choice to help move stuff with him and his helper or they could move it all. He was laid back and super easy to do business with. I highly recommend Budget Moving Service (Grand Rapids area). He was half price of any other mover.

I just moved into the Addison at Universal in Orlando, FL and this is best place I have ever lived. The staff really cares about the place looking nice and clean. I live facing the pool and on the weekends it is busy but I can assure you the office staff are on it regarding residents and guests not tearing up the amenities. Everyone is super nice and it is like living at a resort. Very pet friendly and they even have a pet spa. Office closes at 6pm but they have someone that works until 9pm so the pool, technology room, and inside amenities are available. Don't waste your money on these other over priced complex, here you actually get what you pay for! Thank you staff!

Got a lawnmower from a guy in my county, no troubles at all, showed on time and the product was used as shown in pictures and in working condition! And the price was right!
Good alternative to lowes or amazon imho.

Great place to find things locally, I have successfully bought and sold here. But be careful! People can be dishonest and Craigslist does not guarantee anything (how could they they don't charge). Treat it as if you were responding to a paper add in the newspaper or posted in a public place.

This service seemed to me pretty flexible because it offers vast variety of opportunities. I found it when I was searching for new apartments, because my apartmenes were too old for me and I believed that it would be better to buy new apartments rather than renovate my previous apartments. So, I found here some offerings concerning apartments and bought new ones. I am really thankful to this service that it provides people with various opporutunities, people can even find jobs due to this service. Amazing, without any complaints.

We recently purchased a 2020 Chevy Blazer from Piehl Motors in Princeton and was very pleased with the experience. The entire experience was professional and easy to make the deal. Larry Lucas was our salesperson and was professional and knowledgeable. This is the 3 vehicle that we have purchased from Piehl's and would highly recommend the experience to anyone looking to purchase a car.

Great place to find unique items and good deals! There is always a certain risk factor when meeting a stranger, so take the necessary safety precautions when a sale takes place. Meet in a public area for the exchange, make sure you are never home alone, only bring enough cash to pay for said item, and be aware of your surroundings. Either way, I have had MANY great exchanges via this website! Great idea and I highly recommend using!

My son's renters moved out and the inside needed painting. He lives in Minneapolis and and the house is here in Portland so he found someone to do the work and asked us to help. My husband and I showed up at the appointed hour but the painter did not show up. I called my son and he found Francisco Munoz on Craig's list and gave him a call. Francisco showed up within an hour with equipment and a big smile. He painted living room, dining room, hallway and 2 bedrooms. He did several applications in the bedrooms because the old paint was very dark. He also added texture to the family room and painted the ceiling. When we returned all the holes and blemishes had been covered up and the house looked like new. I was astonished! He worked so fast and yet so well. I could see his sense of pride and how much heart he puts into his work! Francisco is a treasure! I cannot recommend him any higher. Also he only charged us $430.00! What a deal! I wish he did everything for a house!

Carlton Edwards was awesome as a salesperson. I purchased a used 2003 Honda Accord Coupe and he went out of his way to assist me. The car was a good deal with low mileage and he helped me reach my final decision. The car had a slight damage in the front bumper. He even assured me to get that fixed at a future date at a nominal price. A very helpful salesperson and I will go back to him for future trade in and buying a new vehicle. God Bless him. Ronnie B.

I love this site! It is great for selling furniture or even for picking up a good deal here and there. After my son told me about it, I was able to sell a whole heap of things we had sitting in our garage. Very happy with the overall experience and the best part is that it is free! Thank you Craigslist.
