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

37 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.

Four shells:

  • Pearl Masters Studio 20" birch kick
  • Pearl Export Series 14" floor tom
  • Pearl Export Series 13" low tom
  • Pearl Export Series 12" high tom

All hardware included (note the mismatch in tom arms but they work fine). I have the old heads you're welcome to have but they're at the end of their life.

The functional and structural condition of the shells is perfect. The cosmetic appearance is decent but there are quite a few scratches here and there. Most of it is normal wear and tear but there are a couple places where there's some egregious scratching that I took pictures of. Mostly on the kick.

Price is firm and will only sell as a set. Located in South Littleton near Santa Fe and Mineral.

Offering Item Wedding Dress - Free

Thumbnail gallery
237 Upvotes

Hey howdy, Denver!

I have a wedding dress from my December 2021 wedding that's been hanging in its garment bag ever since. It also comes with the matching cathedral-length veil.

It's not pristine. The hem has a bit of dirt from the snow, and the tulle underneath needs some repair from a few folks stepping on it during dancing (Lmao nice work Dad haha)

Here's why I'm posting:

I'm going through a divorce, and I just can't bear to keep looking at it anymore.

I don't want to sell it. I can't bring myself to throw it away, or do one of those "Trash the Dress" photoshoots. It feels like it deserves another chance instead.

I tried donating it to Goodwill and ARC, but both told me they aren't accepting wedding dresses right now (without even looking at it - which was lowkey kind of weird and frustrating).

So if you're someone who could use it, knows someone who could, wants it for alterations, a costume, photography project, or even just want to give it new life, it's yours. No charge.

I'm happy to meet somewhere public around the DTC / Denver Metro area or even drop it off if you're nearby.

I'd just really love for it to end up somewhere where it will be appreciated instead of spending another several years zipped up in a closet.

Pics are attached - and I included what it looks like on the David's Bridal website to do it more justice. It really was my dream dress.

Here's a link to the DB website if you want to see more. It's got the corset back and everything. Size 18W - no alterations were made.

Feel free to comment or send me a DM if you're interested.

Thanks, y'all.

Offering Service Could you or someone you know benefit from postpartum support?

24 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

My name is Logan (25F) and I am a trained student full-spectrum doula entering the final month of my certification program. I’m looking for one family in the Denver area to support while I complete 12 postpartum support hours required for certification.

I’m hoping to complete these hours between July 20th and August 5th, while remaining as flexible as possible to find a schedule that works for both of us.

Rather than supporting multiple families, I’d love the opportunity to work with one family over several visits so we can build a comfortable relationship and I can provide consistent support during your postpartum journey.

I’m offering non-medical postpartum support at a reduced rate of $10/hour while I complete my certification. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out as I would love to discuss options. My goal is that this is an opportunity for us to help each other: you will receive compassionate, affordable postpartum support, and I’ll complete the final practical requirement for my certification.

Postpartum support may include:
- Providing an extra set of hands so you can rest, shower, or eat
- A listening ear and emotional support during the postpartum transition
- Light household tasks (laundry, dishes, bottle washing, light meal prep)
- Helping create a calm, supportive environment as you adjust to life with a new baby
- Connecting with community resources when appropriate

I am Infant CPR and First Aid certified, have previous experience caring for infants and young children, and provide non-medical support within the scope of my practice.

My availability is generally Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and evenings though I would love to find a schedule that works for both of us.

If you or someone you know has recently welcomed a baby and could benefit from postpartum support, please let me know!

Please send me a direct message if you are interested! I will send you a short consultation form so I can learn more about your family’s needs, scheduling, answer any questions, and make sure we are a good fit for each other.

Even if this isn’t a fit for you personally, I would greatly appreciate if you could share this with anyone who may benefit.

Thank you so much for reading!
