Craigslist Chicago Knowledge Base
Other than Craigslist, what other options do I have in Chicago for selling heavy and large furniture? I have two large desks, a dining table, and several bookshelves, and a bike too that I need to sell before moving. What options other than Craigslist do I have for posting and selling these things. I would much prefer an open market or something along those lines or a website for local sale only. I have a car so I can move these things around, but the cost of shipping things outside of Chicago is prohibitive.

Hello, this question is for craigslist users... Specifically Chicago craigslist... (And PayPal)...? Alright, I am selling my iPod on craigslist. I originally had it listed for $100 and had a few offers, but one offer was from someone saying they would pay me via paypal, and an extra $60 to ship the iPod... but they gave me an area code to ship to in NIGERIA. Now, I have it relisted at $120, and I got an offer for $220 (An extra $100 to ship "overseas"). Now, what I want to know is how am I protected with PayPal, and is this a scam? Because this offer is hard to pass up. Thanks for any help... Also, If I give them my PayPal account ID, and they DO send me the money, is there anyway they can like take it back or anything? Thanks...
Who do I call to report defamation and harassment on Craigslist Rant /raves section in chicago? Ok im just a stay at home mom but I go and look at what people post in rants/raves section in the chicago part of craigslist ONCE in a while. Someone keeps posting this guy's whole name, first and last, and his town, and says the guy is a sexual predator ONLINE. I'm getting sick and tired of these people accusing and defaming someone. Innocent or guilty, you don't type someone's name on there. Then me mrs. peabody tries to do something about it and all I get from Craigslist is an automatic response after I have copy and pasted two things the people have posted. It says to call your local police. Then I call that guy's police department from his town and I get transferred to the "records" department and I leave a message there with some lady's vmail. Did anyone ever try to good for the world and the world just shit right back in your face? Just so you know I called Craigslist and all I get is this recording and I click "o" for operator and I eventually got hung up on. I think Craigslist needs to be revamped, you can type someones information on there and no one gives a damn. All Im getting are dead ends!!! It is a real name I looked his name up and it was true. I wouldnt go through all these lengths if it wasnt. If you don't care about this why do you even answer my question? Just go on to the next question and collect your 2 points.

Does anyone notice that it's EXTREMELY hard to find an apartment in Chicago?? I was planning to move out of my apartment Aug 31st. I've been looking since like July 1st. I have only 2 weeks and I have no idea where I'm going to be living. I'm looking for and affordable 1 bedroom. Any place I find that has good prices says they don't have any 1 bedrooms available. I'm really worried that in 2 weeks I won't have anywhere to live. Originally I thought it was the area I was looking in but I'm trying various areas in Chicago and still having no success? Has anyone else been through this? I've tried newspapers, craigslist, chicagoreader, etc. Still no success. Any suggestions?????? I have viewed apartments that I liked and were in the price range I was looking for and when I went back a few days later to apply, they tell me there's none available anymore. Or, I see places that are in the paper that say they have 1, 2, 3 bedrooms etc and when I call they say they don't have any 1 bedrooms AVAILABLE. They have them in the building and they mention them in the ads but there are none available.
Help!! Craigslist and Western Union Question? Okay, I went to Chicago craigslist (where I live) and I was selling a Calbo Robelli guitar or something. I got an email from a guy saying that he was very interested in the guitar. I was happy to get the sale of the guitar for $125 so I emailed back. I later found out that he just moved from Chicago to florida and he had a plan. Here is what he said: 1.) I will mail a check for $150 ($125 for the guitar and $25 for handling) 2.) Once you receive the check, you can go and cash the check and get your money (I liked the idea of me cashing the check first) 3.) After you get your money, my mover will go to your residence and pick up the guitar because I just recently moved I saw this plan and did this because I thought that I couldn't lose! So I told him to send out the check and I will be ready to give the guitar to the mover. I got an email just today saying that he sent out the check and his secratary made a mistake (he said he was a buisness person) He said that instead of writing out the check for $150, she accidently wrote it out for $1500. He said that it was a problem that could be easily fixed. He told me that once I recieved the check, go to the bank and cash the check and keep $175. (He gave me a bigger bonus for the hassle) He then said that you should wire the remaining $1325 with Western Union and do the rest as planned. I personally have never used Western Union, I was thinking to myself on how could I lose? He wants me to send the money out to him. I was just curious if anyone could help me what to do! What should I say when I email him back?!? I really don't know how I could lose, but just please help me on what I should say and do. So basically I'm saying: What should I say when I email him back? What should I do about the Western Union situation? I also have a paypal account, but I don't think he does.' I need answers fast!! Thanks you all!
Is there something wrong with the craigslist site? I am trying to go to chicago.cragislist.org and for some reason it is not working. It it just for me or is it not working for everyone else as well?

Buying a car from Craigslist? http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/car/535827265.html honda civic si, 2007, 6900 miles. for an AMAZING $4399. But the seller lives in UK, and the car is in New York, he says he will ship for free and let me "test drive" for 10 days. still waiting for response if he has a carfax report or not. should i trust him? and on the other hand, does anyone have a carfax account? Adam D, the link still works for me...I haven't bought it yet, I'm still communicating with the seller. Yes I realize it's sort of fishy, but this car is in perfect condition, and it sort of makes sense why he's selling it for so cheap, seeing that he lives int he UK, no more use for it anymore. So no one has a Carfax account? so you guys are right, the listing has been removed...i don't know maybe he'll e-mail me back soon and let's see what he says...
Do these look like good aparments in Chicago? I'm moving to Chicago in a month or two and I'm trying to find a place online before I move. I've got a dog and a cat and I'm hoping to find a studio or one bedroom under $800/month, in the city (not suburbs), but still relatively safe. I found a few apartment listings on Craigslist that fit everything I want AND include free heat and water in Rogers Park. I'm thinking there's gotta be a catch... is the neighbourhood really bad or something? I've heard some people say Rogers Park is perfectly safe while others seem to think it's kind of sketch. Are these places probably located in a really bad part of Rogers Park? I don't mind dirty or ugly or small amounts of petty crime like radio theft, I just don't want to get shot or harassed by drug users, lol. Here's one of the listings I'm talking about: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/apa/740743791.html

I need help apartment searching in cHicago!? I'm trying to find apartments in chicago. Preferably in the pilsen, little village, bridgeport, areas.

Are there any groups for young, bi women in the Chicago area or suburbs? I agree that it truly is hard for a bi woman to find someone! Chicago has an area dedicated to gay men, and I heard temptations closed down. I'm looking for bi women in their 20's..Do you guys know any groups or clubs dedicated to that? These dating sites want you to pay, and we all know what craigslist is like lol.
How much should I pay for this motorized scooter? I drive a large van because I need it for work, but I hate driving it when I need to make a short trip to the store and what not. So I want to get a scooter to save on gas money. But at the same time I don't want to spend much. I found one that is only being sold for $600 but I think I can talk him down to a much lower price. It's a 1986 Yamaha Riva 80cc, w/ 945mi on it. Only thing wrong with it is the battery, that's $60 to replace. I went to kbb.com to find a price but they didnt have this model. I looked up the 125cc model and it said it's worth $750. That's perfect condition with a decent amount of miles. So the fact that this is an 80cc, has a lot of miles, and needs a new battery should really knock the price down that I should ask for. I was kind of thinking around $450. What do you think? here is the link: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/mcy/411397492.html
How do you advertise commercial space for rent? I want to advertise as cheaply as possible an office space for rent in the downtown of a Chicago suburb, besides craigslist and an agent is there other ways to reach a lot of potential renters?
