Topic: Bitcoin and Craigslist (Read 9355 times)
If we could customarily do post "we accept bitcoin" to pages where we sell, it might encourage people to also use bitcoin. and will also inform those who haven't yet heard of bitcoin.
There is almost nothing worse than Craigslist.
Maybe waiting in line at the DMV or getting a root canal.
I try to avoid that site like I avoid women with adams apples

Is anybody actually buying bitcoin through craiglist? Or is it mainly for selling goods for bitcoin?
I'd suspect they use it for electronics like mining equipment or even just normal everyday stuff.
Now if the hookers on Craig's List would accept bitcoin then all would be right in the world.

Yes. No.

I made one posting and I got a buyer for 100BTC in 24 hours.
Nice to get actual cash for bitcoin.

For real? I know that you are smooth trader. I've lurked and learned. Seriously though; you got a buyer on craigslist for 100BTC? Recently? Someone handed you $60someoddthousand for 100BTC off craigslist? I follow most of what you post and would like to know more about this.
yeah that sounds spotty.. i don't want to give that info out to strangers, could get robbed/kidnapped. it's like putting a target on your back.
Oh, no.
I sell cars on CL all the time.
Once sold a Rolls-Royce on CL for over USD $20K with no problems.
For things like jewelry, sports tickets, or other valuables it would be much more risky as these types of things are much harder to trace.
Sorry but you do not know what you are talking about.
I have sold many cars for USD $10K and up and have always dealt exclusively in cash.
uhh, so have I. I think you meant to quote hollowframe
oops
I have sold "several" Bitcoins from a contact I made on Craigslist.

Pretty soon there will be people accepting BTC in the "casual encounters" section of craigslist...lol
No. Bitcoin is too traceable for low end prostitution.
High end, they are usually smart enough to have a way to clean it between accepting it and spending it, but you don't find high end on craigslist - and they will only want cash because cash is anonymous.

Yeah, I am assuming that high-end and craigslist are probably like oxymorons when it comes to escorts

Perhaps a single use address that goes to an exchange right away and gets changed
But probably cash will still remain king in the causal area lol.

I always note that I accept bitcoin in my ads. The only bite I ever got was some guy asking me what else I had to sell for bitcoin, "party favors?" That was last year.
I've also noticed a direct relationship in my area of the amount of ads mentioning bitcoin to media hype (online and others) right now it's pretty quiet around me.
Couple things to reduce spam:
List in the ad that any responses that you get MUST include a phone number, otherwise they will be ignored. Any serious buyer won't have a problem with this. It's not hard to delete emails. Plus I get to control when the phone conversation takes place.
FLAG ADS!
I flag for : keywords that do not specifically relate 1:1 with the ad, no price listed or wrong price ($1), multiple ads
Craigslist really is a roll the dice, i've sold computers cars etc on there and you really have to be careful. I guess you have to be attuned to how the person is acting about the trade. I personally would never sell bitcoin on craigslist
The spam one gets from craigslist is enough of a deterrent for me to stay away unless I'm having or looking for a fire sale.
Disable email replies, put in phone #.
Yeah a lot of spam from there, and the other problem is taking an ad down but it actually not being "down" until weeks later so if you've sold an item it's still listed. It's ridiculous, I got a phone call not a couple weeks ago about a phone I listed probably half a year ago. Of course I don't have that phone.

i've been burned from craigslist once.. bought an android phone, and all worked well.. except the usb port was fucked up and i couldn't charge. now i have to use a qi/wireless charger.
Ah thanks for giving me an idea mines been acting up a bit as well so I should consider a wireless charger.
Probably wouldn't use Craigslist though unless it was really close or I couldn't find it anywhere else kind of a gamble on what you find there.
