Craigslist still exists. Use it.
Craigslist exists like my totaled car exists: yeah, it's technically there, but it's a shell of itself and doesn't actually have anything worthwhile. Maybe in large metros it's still a viable option, but even in a 250,000 people metro it's a ghost town.
Can't buy things if no one is selling there, can't sell things if no one is buying there.
I just bought a great bike using Craigslist in February. Maybe it's a locality thing, folk use a different platform near you but it still gets plenty of traffic here.
Yeah, I hate that I had to use Facebook market as it was probably the first time I had logged in in years. But there were easily 20x more results when I was looking for a server rack on there than CL.
I still use Craigslist! Have alerts set up right now
