Is Craigslist still a thing? In my area, was the vice city classifieds. The hookers are gone, but so much obviously stolen stuff was posted there.

It is somewhat surprisingly (still) a $500m+ revenue[1] company, with very minimal employees and expenses. They're printing money on house and car listing fees.

still had good successes with CL as far back as 2019 for selling a car, and picking up used servers.

that said, general consensus at least where I am in WA and Canada is FB Marketplace is the new CL. which is a same because FB sucks
