Found a Place with more stupid people than CL!

[Stimw]

I have been using Facebook Market Place for about a month.
I have a boat part listed for sale and yesterday a guy said he wants it, ask if I could hold it for him when he gets off work a 4 pm.
Said he will have his sister go to the bank and get the money then bring him to get it. (he has no licence to drive)
They call at 4pm, I give directions, they show up 3 hours later, guy is drunk then wants to argue and complain about the price! No sale.
Another lawn care item, guy has called me 6-8 times wanting lower price.
Wanting me to deliver it 30 miles away or pay someone he found $100. to come get it for him!
I told the price is what it is, the item is where it is!!
Am I missing something????????

I lasted on Feces Book for a whole day. That was enough for me.

I checked the site out a few times back when I was on FB and very quickly came to the same conclusion. I never listed anything, but some of the ads left me scratching my head.

Same thing happens when you put cat food on your porch for stray cats......coons, skunks and who knows what else will come around.
No need to negotiate until they are standing in front of you. A simple response or addition to the post that you will only negotiate in person should save you a lot of time.
I know I’m on the extreme end but I don’t buy or sell on any site without a reputation tracker- eBay, Gun Broker etc.

I tried listing on it a couple of times. I agree it is plagued with idiots. I will stick with CL.

My neighbor swears by Facebook Market Place.
I don't do Facebook, or Twitter

The best description I ever heard of Facebook was written by greasemonkeyok years ago.

A fictional place where narcissists go to stroke one another."Look at me, aren't I wonderful." "Yes yes, you are, now look at me and tell me how wonderful I am."

Actually, if they responded to each other would be a step up.

There's an old saying 'takes one to know one' .... ya' gotta be one to go there to begin with. I never will that's for sure.


That said, that's how I got my log splitter. One neighbor who knew what I wanted saw it listed by another neighbor and passed the phone number to me. So, I got it from there without ever going there.

Is that there-there? Lol
We put up new garage and I was looking for 8' florescent light fixtures, and was using facebook marketplace, ackually didnt have any issues other than driving up to Tupper Lake for the farthest bunch of them. But, embarrassingly I must admit, when I'm selling something and they or who are on my way or close to where I work I will deliver the selling item, and for one I am in control, two, I'm on their property they have no idea where I live. I get a little nervous with unknown people driving in to my home on a cul-de-sac in the woods. Two pick ups in Vermont, one in Rhode Island, Tupper Lake, oh, and trailer guy in greenwich gave me 6 more to boot 48 fixtures and counting.
