There is a lot of debate about whether or not to use craigslist. There have been attacks and even killings surrounding ads listed on craigslist. But it is also a place where people can find jobs and stuff they need for cheap. And listings are free, unlike sites like eBay or Amazon. What are yout thoughts? Do you or would you use craigslist - why or why not? Have you had anything go wrong using craigslist or do you have any craigslist success stories? Please share!

I use Craigslist a lot for looking for a job or an apartment. It is also useful for buying things, like lift tickets for skiing. I got one lift ticket for more than 50% off of the price you pay at the ski resort! Overall it is a good site for finding stuff. However, I would not use it for online dating. I am not sure what kind of people use that site for finding dates and I don't think the quality of guys would be good.

I have used Craigslist with great success. I have many things on Craigslist. I have rented apartments and got information for a job and so on. It is not the site itself that is bad but some of the people who use it. Some of those people are on this site and others just waiting to take advantage of those who are weaker or too naive. Users need to take more responsibility for their own actions and stop being helpless victims.

I have relatives that use craigslist and they didn't have any problems with it. My uncle was on there lookin for a car and found one and had my mom n step dad go look at em for em. I guess t just depend. You just have to be careful at what you do and what not. Nothing is safe anymore!

I actually found great furniture on the site before.
I have a gf who use to find her one night stands on the site as well, matter-of-fact, she found her fiance' from the site as well as well as her new apartment :)
So, I guess it works for some and not for others :(
