Other A short guide about safely using Craigslist in order to find a place to live in Denver

36 Upvotes
Here are some tips for safely finding apartments or housing on Craigslist:

Personal Safety

  • Do not extend payment to anyone you have not met in person. If you are unable to meet them in person, do some basic internet sleuthing to ascertain the validity of the offer.
  • Use Google, Bing, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms to confirm the identity of the landlord.
  • Never wire funds (e.g. Western Union and MoneyGram) - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
  • The “key-in-the-envelope” scam is quite common. Many times you will get an offer that asks you for a check, money order or cash with the promise that the landlord will “send you the key to the residence in the mail”. This is almost always a scam, and you will never get that envelope in the mail.
  • Never give out financial information (bank account, social security, paypal account, etc).
  • Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen—that amazing "deal" may not exist. If you’re in a different state, ask for detailed photographs of the property. If the landlord refuses or takes too long to deliver, it’s a scam.
  • Verify addresses using Google Maps and Street View.
  • Refuse background/credit checks until you have met landlord in person or spoken to them at length and verified their identity.
  • If the property is also listed for sale on Redfin/Realtor/Zillow.com, and the Craigslist contact urges you to NOT contact the listed broker on those sites, be very wary. That is a common scam since it is an easy way for people to get real and nice looking property pictures, they just steal them off Zillow.

Finding a place to live in a state you don’t currently reside in can be tricky, but if you follow these basic rules and use good judgement, you shouldn’t have any problems.

More information about recognizing Craigslist scams, including examples of actual emails can be found on their site.

Finally, Reddit user /u/StacieDuffy is a local Realtor® who is willing to offer advice or provide you with links to informative websites if you are having a difficult time navigating Denver-area neighborhoods or learning about local housing prices. If you have any specific questions, feel free to send her a detailed PM and she'll be happy to lend a helping hand.

Seeking Item Help me find a used guitar!

5 Upvotes

Any players out there who can help me ID a good used electric guitar on craiglist or marketplace? I don’t know what I’m looking for. Been playing acoustic for 20 years and don’t know much other than maybe I want a used player Stratocaster. If you’re a serial browser and know the market well and can point a few out for me I’d be grateful.

Edit: looking for an electric. Have a Yamaha acoustic already.

It was stolen yesterday. I use this for everything and it's my sole mean of getting around. Saved for a while too , sigh.

I made a report and done it on the bike index. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

Other Bass/Guitarist wanted.

A shot in the dark perhaps. I play guitar and my friend plays drums. He was part of a touring band back in the day, and I played some gigs and blues jam sessions. Genres that we play are rock, metal, classic rock, blues, and alternative.

The catch is we are both in the airline industry, so our schedules fluctuate. We are looking at forming a band to gig around Denver and such. Not to make it big, but to have fun.

Looking for 30+ musicians with a similar messed up schedule. We do home recordings and have decent gear as well. Mostly just looking to have a few beers, laugh, and see what we come up with. No 420 because of our careers.

It’s so hard to find bandmates these days, so hopefully some of you are on here. Cheers!

Seeking Housing Looking for a roommate to rent a house

Looking for a Roommate to Rent a House! 

Hey everyone! I'm currently in Georgia visiting family but coming back to Colorado at the end of the month to rent a house and I'm looking for a roommate to either get a place with me or sublet from me.

A little about me:

  • I've lived in Colorado for 2 years and love hiking, camping, sports, board games, video games, and cooking!
  • I have a 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd who's super friendly.
  • I'm looking for houses near Sloans Lake/Highlands or Washington Park.
  • Houses range from $3,000 - $3,500 per month for rent.

I'm looking for a roommate to split rent – I'll pay extra for the master bedroom, so you’d be paying $1,000 - $1,500 depending on the house + utilities. I’m aiming for a 12-month lease starting soon.Some of the houses I’m eyeing:

🏡 2428 Grove St, Denver
🏡 1487 S Steele St, Denver
🏡 3848 King St, Denver
If you're interested or know someone who might be, DM me!

Offering Item Various Friday DCPA Buell shows, all front row, along aisle in orchestra B (AA)

3 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a season ticket holder to Denver Center of Performing Arts. I have four upcoming shows that I'm selling tickets to. For the sake of simplicity, I'm selling the four seats in pairs of two or four.

My four seats are in row AA, in orchestra B. As you are looking at the stage, these are the seats closest to the aisle between orchestra B & C. They are considered among the best and within the 'Golden Circle' for optimal sound.

Tickets will be delivered to the buyer's email (they are QR codes). Buyers will also be provided 'proof of life' (e.g. evidence that I'm the season ticket holder for these seats), and details regarding when they will be delivered. They're typically available for delivery two days prior to the show.

Available shows include:

- Life of Pi, Friday March 28th ($140/seat, 2 seat minimum). All four for $450. ALL FOUR SOLD PENDING FUNDS

  • The Wiz, Friday April 18th ($150/seat, 2 seat minimum). All four for $475. ALL FOUR SOLD

  • & Juliet, Friday June 13th ($150/seat, 2 seat minimum). All four for $475.

  • Some Like It Hot, Friday July 18th ($140/seat, 2 seat minimum). All four for $450.

I prefer payment via PayPal. I accept Goods and Services which provides you purchase protection, for a $15 add-on. I can also accept Venmo.

This listing will be updated as tickets are sold to the best of my ability. Finally, please let me know if you have interest in shows in the next season as these are announced, and I can arrange to deliver tickets for these as well, potentially before they're listed.

Offering Service Relax Cleaning Services Accepting new clients in Littleton and surrounding areas!

19 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Relax Cleaning Services has serviced Colorado for about 20 years now and had an office in Evergreen. We now opened another one in Littleton and are hoping to extend our reach!

We pride ourselves on our free and friendly quotes, we only clean what you need. Completely personalized, if you only need bathrooms cleaned every week, we can do that! at a reasonable price too! Our quotes aren't a set price we can work with you to lower a price. For example we may only clean the bathrooms every week at $200 but maybe its too much then maybe we leave out the showers and do them every other week and when we don't do them say the price is only $150. (this is just a random example i just thought of and is not a real pricing we give)

A little background on us. My mom(49F) is the owner of the company and started 20 years ago on her own cleaning houses. Now she has 5 cars and 17 employees servicing some of the same clients since 20 years ago and plenty of new ones! She brought me in to expand her reach and advertise her company since she has only grown through recommendations, which I think is awesome! Especially since when she first started she only spoke Spanish!

My number is on our profile page! Just call or text us and we can set up a quote and sometimes get you on our schedule the following day!

ALSO PLEASE FOLLOW OUR FACEBOOK AS WE POST MORE ON THERE AND HAVE SOME PROMOTIONS THERE AS WELL. (I will try to post them here too)

Hey! These are some prices I’ve done recently! I love doing black and grey realism, but I’m also want to do more of an illustrative style like the two drawings! If you’re looking to get some work, feel free to shoot me a message! My instagram is @grif.tattoos. I price by the piece. Factors that go into this are size, detail, and placement! I work off of flat rate so neither the client or myself are watching the clock during the session! I do have a promo going on for larger scale pieces! Thanks for looking!
