    Thanks, everyone.


    THe concept of this thread, if I wasn't entirely clear in the original post, is for everyone to take a minute or two, flag those posts, and look at your local Craigslist and get everyone to flag your local BYBs as well.

    I don't ever go on craigslist at all; this was the first time I've ever visited the site.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    Craigslist is great, especially for folks like myself with young children because you can buy used items for next to nothing. It's wonderful. You can also re-sell the stuff your kids grow out of or no longer use. I Craigslist (when it's used properly of course)

    When I click on each of the links in post #1 I get

    This posting has been flagged for removal
    (The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)

    The one in #54 specifically says "please don't flag" ...

    How do I recognize a byb on Craigslist? Is this one?

    Hmmmmm....that might be an alternative way for millers to get around us.
    It does say "contact for more information".
    Could be genuinely trying to sus out good homes, could also be a way to inform people that the pups cost X amount of dollars.
    A hard one.
    What do you reckon LH ???

    They say please don't flag to try and avoid getting flagged, even though they know they aren't supposed to be advertising on CL.

    For the most part, someone legitamately looking to rehome an accidental little will post a fee, mainly low to cover the cost of vaccinations and spay/neuter.

    The post you linked is almost definitely a BYB. No stated fee, details upon contact, etc.
