Found lots of great stuff on eBay. Great prices for normally expensive items! Real people and the site supports good customer service and has guarantees if anything goes wrong. You get your money back if anything goes wrong with the transaction or you didn't receive the item or item is damaged or not as described. Safe secure payment and you also can have items shipped to your door or pick them up locally if in your area. Overall great safe place for shopping!

Never got to rent but got to inquire about rentals: didn't end up renting becuase I canceled the vacation I was supposed to go on due to having to work. The people were pleasant and friendly. Also it's a safe and secure way to find legitimate rentals. Would come to AirBNB for a short term or vacation rental if I needed one.

People are real, products are worth the money. Love the feature where you communicate within the site rather then give out personal contact info. Safer shopping experience on Offerup.

Used this site, all you get are scammers, bums, thieves and flakes. Many of the people are a waste of time. Tried to adopt a cat from some Asian girl out in the Seattle area and she decided to waste my time by saying she changed her mind, instead of sending a text, she wanted to tell me in person. Now that I think about it she was likely on something and couldn't text, she seemed like she wasn't all there anyway. Charged her $20 for wasting my time. Another time got a couple who were renting a room in Omaha Nebraska when I needed to rent a place while there on business and they kept changing the rent and bumming for money, and the woman was a nutcase, her boyfriend just did whatever she wanted him to do. I left within a month after the woman stole stuff out of my room. Reported them to the police for theft. If you try and sell stuff you get people wanting cheap and near free stuff, offering lowball prices or worst yet, they don't show. Get weird often stupid questions like they're coming from a little kid. Try to buy a service you'll get people who change the price last minute from the agreed upon price for the service.

Most people on Craigslist don't have real jobs, have mental issues, or addiction issues, or are simply bums and thieves and lie to get their way. I hate Craigslist, the people that use the site take my adds down via flagging, even though they don't violate anything. The site is useless. Use Offerup for buying and selling, much better place, or do it the old fashioned way, put flyers out in your local area. If wanting a place to rent, go to actual sites that specialize in rentals. AirBNB is a good site for short term rentals and vacation rentals. Craigslist is sketchy with a sketchy crowd. You use Craigslist at your own risk. The site should be shut down. Very few legit people use the site, though there are some legit people who use Craigslist, just not that many like on the other sites like AirBNB and Offerup. The legit people who do use the site treat you with suspicion because it's Craigslist which I understand but it makes it impossible to want to do any kind of business. Recommend using the local community hangouts and gathering places to post announcements or other community related stuff instead. If you want to adopt a pet go to a rescue or shelter, or use sites like PetFinder, and RescueMe or simply ask around in the community if someone is looking for a new home for their pet.
