Los Angeles Craigslist Too Much Of a Hassle

Los Angeles Craigslist — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:44:46 +0000

I remember about nine months ago there was an 18yr. old girl who met someone through a listing on Los Angeles Craigslist, and then disappeared shortly after meeting. I have been wondering lately about the safety of that site, and if they ever found that girl. She was pretty too. Right now I’m looking around trying to find an alternative to that site, because threes seems to always be shady characters on that site. I kind of hooked up with this new site that doesn’t seem to have nearly as much hassle as Los Angeles Craigs list.

Los Angeles Craigslist Gets A Solid Competitor

First and foremost let me tell you that I am an excellent investigative bargain shopper. I was on Los Angeles Craigslist snooping around, and ran into a terrific sounding deal for a washing machine. It said little things like..as is….and that it was in fair condition. In the past something as benign as that description would have been enough for me to scoop it right up. But knowing what happen to me the last time I bought something online, I went on the site www.adlump.com and found the same washer being sold at a much better price. If I wasnt so saavy I may have been out of some serious cash. Check out that site…it’s better than Craigslist.

The woes of Los Angeles Craigslist

Los Angeles Craigslist — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:58:05 +0000

I have heard many tales of things going wrong on Los angeles craigslist. By now you would think that they would have their multi-talented team of investigators working around the clock weeding out those undesirables who keep making it so damn hard for us regular people who want to surf the classifieds unpeturbed. Los Angeles Craigslist needs a big time improvement on the way that they do things. I wonder if they are a member of the Better Business Bureau. Anywho, something has got to be done. Is there anyone out ther brave enough to stand with me?

Craigslist Los Angeles. Why Are They Monitoring

Los Angeles Craigslist — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:16:03 +0000

Why did craigs list Los Angeles start monitoring the service section so much? I have been playing around with craigslist Los Angeles for some time. Now while posting in services I now have to enter in a phone verification number. I know that craigslist has had some issues with the erotic services section, but why am I getting affected by that. I am in the health and beauty section.

Craigslist Gets a 5 billion Dollar Evaluation

Los Angeles Craigslist — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 16:08:06 +0000

I guess I have to retract that statement I just wrote about Craigslist’s Value. According to Blodget craigslist is worth 5 billion dollars. Of course this is not based on its actual revenue, but based on what they would be worth if they were run differently with an eye towards maximizing revenues—which, of course, could impact how consumers interact with them, which in turn would impact their valuations.

Los Angeles craigslist competitor

My opinion on the eBay law suit against Craigslist and all of its sub communities, losangeles craigslist and so forth is simple. On craigslist blog that was named “Tainted Love” , they failed to answer on simple question. Did they attempt to dilute eBays shares or not? If you were to ask my personal opinion I would say yes. Two reasons why:

1. I doubt eBay would file a frivolous lawsuit after owning 28% stake for 4 years, when craigslist is for lack of better words, NOT A HUGE MONEY MAKER.

2. Why won’t craiglist answer the simple question? Did you dilute the shares or not? Everyone wants to sit there and cry the big bad wolf is trying to kill the sheep. Bottom-line if you try to rip anyone off for what they bought, you will eventually get caught

Craigslist expands without fanfare

Los Angeles Craigslist — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 21:31:02 +0000

The classified ads site that has destroyed newspaper business models across the world, Craigslist, has just got 27% bigger. Its founder, Craig Newmark, quietly announced two days ago on his blog: “Well, we just added what looks like 120 new cities, bringing it to 570, I think. (got to confirm) “

As Seamus McCauley remarks, that probably amounts to a 27% expansion of Craiglist’s global footprint and “immediately introduces a major competitive threat to newspaper publishers and any other media businesses relying on lassified advertising model, online or off, in those 120 cities.” It surely does.

In other Classified news, a new and upcoming classified site named OLX raised 13.5 Million in funding, bringing its total funding amount to 23.5 million. Look for OLX to be a major competitor to craigslist worldwide and look for adLump to be a competitor in the Los Angeles Classified market

Los Angeles law enforcement is concerned about craigslist

The Internet is a valuable tool for many people. It can be used to find valuable information but it is not always a safe place for children. It can lead them down a road of illegal activities. Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating a prostitution case involving a 13 year old korea-town resident (west downtown la)

The prostitution allegations she’s involved with are a result of some ads she placed on the losangeles.craigslist.org the los angeles page of craigslist.

Craigslist is different in the fact it’s main purpose is for classifieds as opposed to social networking. However it’s still considered an unsafe website for teens. We are recommending all parents monitor craigslist and all orher Los Angeles Classifieds use, the way the L.A.P.D is doing
