craigslist is fine for apartments/buying/selling. bought plenty of things - powerrack, weight set appliances, other misc. things. found some insane studio/rent areas. got a sick little backhouse $250 month couple years ago when my dad made me move out
for jobs 90% of it is bogus. BUT you can find legit shit jobs. i mean the $10/hour type stuff. you can spot the fake shit easily. anything straight to the point is usually the real deal. but do a crosscheck with their email and phone
a while ago i found work at a carpet cleaning company and and work tiling. both basically just trained me in an hour
