100% agreed. I guess the only saving grace is that CL won't outright disappear since it appears to be a nonprofit so as far as I can tell less traffic makes it easier to maintain. Maybe in a few years people will get sick of zero-effort screencap-of-a-screencap-of-a-screencap-of-a-text-of-a-picture posts with no/wrong information and will start using CL again. One can dream.

Got it home plugged it up flipped the switch and the chuck makes like two rotations then stops and if you leave it on it starts humming louder and louder. Is this fixable?

I was just gonna spray it down with oil and see if it unseizes but I didn't know if it would cause some kind of slippage somewhere or something

The welding rod ovens are a rip off. I soaked both 6010s and 7018s in a bottle of water over a weekend. Welded fine. Ground open welds and not a hint of porosity. I was in welding school at the time and I showed my instructor. His response was “I have no explanation for that”.

I think it’s a wives tale that the people who make the rod ovens are too happy to continue.

Yeah I put it up in the last one too. Apparently that guy keeps his "heavy equipment" up on Craigslist constantly. Kek!

Heavy equipment, tools, auto parts, etc are some of my most frequently browsed sections of Craigslist.

>Heavy equipment
i remember when they first added this section circa 2014ish. i scored so many killer deals and free shit from suburbanite ladies cleanout the garage. best was a brand new 13hp honda commercial pressure washer for free from a lady in a ritzy mcmansion
biz/comm seems to be the only remaining category that yields the occasional gem these days and it takes wading through a lot of shit

I like in a city of about 120k people. CL and Facebook are quiet. Not dead, but not doing well. Nothing moves and people list shit thinking they are selling on eBay. More then once I have seen a listing, waited a few days, given them a lowball offer, and then have them come back after a few weeks and see if I am still interested or just have it perpetually listed for months. Did everyone more to a different site or is the economy for used goods just over with?

I've noticed there isn't as much stuff for sale right now too. Or if it is for sale it's either completely clapped out or listed at an exorbitant price. I think a lot of people are holding onto what they have because the economy is so volatile right now. A lot of "extra" stuff has probably already been unloaded due to craigslist and facespace marketplace being a thing for so long now. The people that wanted it gone have sold and the people that want it have it now, and aren't planning on letting it go. I've noticed yard sales are not as common anymore, and a lot of consignment auctions get mainly junk brought to them compared to years past. Estate sales, and estate auctions can still be good though.

I still haven't gotten them, but I do know he still has them. I drove by and saw them sitting there on Wednesday. I happened to be right there getting some cattle lick tubs and salt blocks with the dump trailer on after hauling a couple tons of scrap steel to the scrapyard. Checked a different listing of his on facespace and it says he is only there Friday-Monday. So maybe I'll see if I can snag them this weekend...

Went and picked them up this evening. Already got them stripped down. 18 cast feet, 9 T-bars (like half an I-beam) forgot to measure how long. A gallon coffee can about 3/4 full of nuts and bolts, bunch of plastic chairs for the burn barrels, and metal seat frames that I'm unsure if I can cut and salvage anything from, or just scrap out. Took maybe 30-45 minutes to process them all. Not bad for free.

the volume is irrelevant to the situation. it could be 1 shovelfull or 100k yds

i fibbed a bit. i got 4x the distance which would be 28 but a 2x4 is 3.5" which is 30. either way its a midget bench and probably why hes selling it and conveniently left out mentioning the height

I showed up, and the person said to bang on the door to get their husband to answer. There was no scrap or husband, and I was banging on the door like a psycho. At the end, I could hear rustling inside behind the security scree, and the door behind the security screen was open the whole time. I think someone was watching me. I fucked off out of there and talked to a neighbor who said a bunch of people had come by. I should have known, but I was blinded by the scrap.
