    The only thing keeping my meta account alive is Marketplace. Unfortunately, it’s much busier than Craigslist in my area.

    Facebook has become a dirty flea market for me.

      Yeah the world moved from Craigslist to marketplace before I did. I found out the hard way when nothing was selling.

      One thing I like about marketplace is you can view someone’s profile to see if they are an actual human that lives near you.

      Marketplace needs to die, it’s got most of the downsides of craigslist except for making it super easy for prospective purchasers to spam “still available?” Ad nauseum

      Same. I live on an island and the only way to sell anything is on two fb groups. Craigslist is there but half the time you get people on the big island and have to take a ferry to sell. I’m thinking of starting a small website/app, not sure it will take off though.

        If you cant get people on craigslist, the most well known fixed rock of online classifieds…I don’t know that your app will take off. OfferUp and the other one also tried to knock out marketplace and failed.

          Offerup, letgo, mercari, etsy, there’s a million online 3PMs. (3rd party marketplaces). Refine the idea or scrap it. This guys right.

      One can hope it turns into a flea market. Off the side of the hideway everyone passes but few seldom go.
