Is Craigslist still the go-to classifieds site in some places?

Around here it’s (very sadly IMO) been almost completely replaced by Facebook Marketplace, to the extent that people make Facebook accounts just to use Marketplace.

I sell on CL and FB Marketplace. Some items that I listed for months on CL sold in days on FB, but I prefer CL. FB search results are inferior often because FB posters created misleading ads and don't delete ads for events that have already occurred. Never tried Nextdoor because they required I give them my cell phone number. My landline number was not enough.

I use ND first, then CL. I've used FB a few times, but mostly it's been scammers (though I have friends who swear by it).

That was not apparent.

Nor was your pun, at first!

But it's more likely to be apparent to someone who is a parent (the alternate meaning of my handle).

CL is a killer app!

I've been told that it is a regional thing.

I only sell on Facebook marketplace because being able to see someone’s profile means a lot less time spent selling the item.

Yes and you can see feedbacks. Makes things so much easier.

I found Karrot to be a better experience than FB Marketplace.

Karrot the food-sharing/organization-organizing app that just got an NLnet grant? Or something else?

I use both in the Bay Area and have never succeeded in selling anything on FB. Craigslist usually connects me with some buyer and if not I go to eBay.
