Less scammers on Fakebook but CL still sells stuff. I list parts on CL on a regular basis. There are real people who actually show up and buy stuff from CL postings but there are also a lot of weird scammers or phishers who respond to almost every ad. I've never quite figured out the scam since they usually just reply with a quick "is it still available" or "I'll buy it today for $50 cash" message. I delete all of those responses and just wait for a real person to reply with a real question. Real people are easy to spot on CL since they'll provide a name, tell you a time that they will come buy the part, confirm that cash is okay for payment, etc. The scammers never provide a name, never say when they'll come get the part, etc.
