I know a lot of people here have nothing good to say about facebook, but their market place is pretty good and a viable option now that craigslist is a joke. Listed an old Daytona MIG for sale on there tonite, 45 minutes later I was loading it in the buyers truck. Maybe I priced it a little too cheap, but knowing what basic units sell for now, I'm happy with what I got. I've bought from there too and never have had an issue.

Is this still available? Only because people hit that button rather than type something. That being said though, I've had this issue a lot more with CL.

EVERY response except one was a scam.
That's the problem I run into. There may be that ONE response that's legit, but how many bogus replies do you have to wade thru to find it? It's just not worth it anymore.

We remodeled our house recently. I put our old, builder-grade light fixtures on FBM, they were sold and gone within an hour. The same was true of a wall hanging we no longer had room for because we removed the wall it previously hung on. Our new toaster oven arrived today, and I'm going to list our old one on FBM for $5, porch pickup, and I bet you it's gone within a day. When our new stove and fridge arrive, I'll make an easy hundred selling the old ones on FBM, and I won't lift a finger to do it. The appliance guys will stick them in the garage, and a buyer will no doubt show up with a truck and take them.

Don't know about the rest of the world, but around here Facebook Marketplace is FULL of stolen goods. Be careful what you buy....y'know....if the deal seems too good, it might be worth asking why....
But yeah ... I've sold a couple old beater vehicles and other stuff there. Reading the responses makes it easier to filter out the tire-kickers/time wasters.
....evil is winning....

To "is this still available?" I reply with an equally lazy "yes it is". If no further response in the next day I delete that message. If that's "lazy", what is my standard reply of "yes"?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Speaking of free....... I had a bunch of house paint, 2x4's and 2X6's (cut down), pieces of plywood, some base board trim and a couple of batts of attic insulation. All of it was good, but I couldn't get a nibble no matter what price I put on it. So, one day, I loaded it all into the back of my Dakota, backed up to the curb in front of the house and put a FREE sign on it stating to take everything but the truck. I put a free ad on CL and FB for it too. Not expecting much, once I had it all set up, I left to run errands. Less than an hour later, my neighbor called me and said I better come home and move my truck before that gets taken too. He described the scene like dropping fresh meat into a school of piranhas. According to him, over a dozen people showed up at pretty much the same time, and there was almost a fight over the paint! They even took my 'free' sign I had made.
