The practice of finding stupid postings on craigslist and replying to see who can get the funniest responses.

(n) a craigslist buyer who responds to a craigslist post numerous times asking if the item for sale is "still available", then not responding once they learn "it is available". 2) a craigslist buyer who asks for the sellers home address, then once receiving the information does not respond, nor show up for the appointment.
The burglary victim suspected a Craigslist Flake committed the crime, and gave a list of email addresses to the police.

What happens when you anonymously answer then screw over the person who places an ad on Craigslist by not showing up or being a bullshitter, only to have the same thing happen to you later on when you post something.
Aaron-I cant get any replies to my ad to sell my car
Jim-Well considering you answer ads just to mess with people, you are getting back Craigslist Karma.

The good deals and fair treatment I give when selling items on Craigslist entitles me to equally good deals when buying items on Craigslist.
This includes responding to emails, selling in order of response, helping people get items to the car, being reasonable when setting up meet times, and deleting the post after it has been sold, etc.

I got a great deal on this desk from Craigslist, plus they helped me carry it out! It must be my Craigslist Karma after listing that couch in the free section last week and delivering it.

Something that someone who is really trashy thinks a rich person would own. Oftentimes best exhibited by furniture listed on Craigslist including the term "classy" in the description. Features of the item may include garish floral / animal patterns, a liberal use of tassels and/or an overabundance of reflective surfaces.
An example of a Craigslist Classy listing:
Priced to go - One giant black lacquer and gold mirror mounted to a leopard print coffee table. This is such a classy piece that will definitely spice up your living room!

Personal success philosophy based on the observations that
a) any g-rated women-seeking-men Craigslist ad will be met with dozens and dozens of e-mails that are just penis pics, and
b) a "real" email will automatically be better received than the penises.
The wisdom of observation is that a little effort will automatically put you ahead of all the idiots. From personal finance blogger Ramit Sethi.

According to the Craigslist Penis Effect, wearing khakis, not sweatpants, to the fleamarket will make you super stylish by comparison.
