There is no 72-hour rule.

You may not post the same item more than once in 48 hours. Until February of 2006, this rule wasn't strictly enforced. Now you will not be permitted to re-post until fully 2,880 minutes have elapsed.

Note that it may take about 15 minutes before a new post is accessible to users.

Hint: Bringing up your post as submitted, by clicking on its heading on your account page, will disclose the date and exact time posted, two lines below the head.

Update. As of this writing, Craigslist is requiring about 15 minutes more than 48 hours before allowing a re-post, in this quirky fashion: It will allow you to delete and resubmit (if the 2,880 minutes have elapsed), but at the end of the resubmission process it will disallow the new post as too similar to another recent post (!). To avoid this situation, add 14 or 15 minutes to the 48 hours, before reposting.
