Usual Suspects...

But in all seriousness i would never have someone come to my house to buy something i meet off facebook, especially at night. Meet inside a fast food place or parking lot with a lot of people around

I've gotten to where I just give stuff away that I dont need any more; or just throw it away. Not worth the deranged people you have to deal with.

Always go to the nearest police station for those kinds of transactions. Don't have random people show up at your home.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Not true at all. A lot of men are into flipping now. I see just as many men compared to women hitting up yard/garage sales.

Don't be too quick to label this as a jogging.

It could have been LongNstrong motivated by boomer hate.

I've never bought anything from facebook marketplace but I've sold a ton of stuff. I usually just sell all the furniture before moving. I've also sold my $1,000 rower. Always tell them to come to my house, never had any dangerous situations. Lol @ the cowardly miscers ITT. Lol @ grocery store. Lol @ police station.

I’m always fearful of this. I sold a 12.9 iPad pro on kijiji , and the buyer agreed to meet at DQ . The guy ended up being pretty cool and I lol’d when I found out he lives less than a block from my house . I thought what are the odds .
If I knew who he was I could have just walked for 45 seconds and delivered it to his home
Back with my Fam

If I sell something on FB marketplace, NEVER, EVER, sell from your home.

I ALWAYS meet at the local supermarket, or police station, or somewhere VEYR public.


First rule of selling shit.

And always check out their profile first. I will avoid selling to some people if their profile looks shady or they are TOO foreign scammy, you know the unmentionable type, trying to lowball scam you.

I have so much old shit at my house I need to sell – unused brake pads/other car parts, furniture, video games, etc. but I’ve just been sitting on them because I don’t want to get robbed. I’ve already been robbed at gunpoint before (srs). No interest in ever going through that shit again.

I was selling Bluray movies from my house using apps. I won’t do it anymore. I kinda got sketched out the more I did it. Now, I’ll give them an address from a street away.

I've had several gift cards I've been trying to sell to stores that are not close by me or that I flat out don't shop at. It has been the biggest pain in the ass. So many people saying "Im interested" and then asking so many questions about the card unnecessarily. And then the people trying to scam me by asking for pictures of the card on the back so they can then get the number and use it.

This fucker tried to be as genuine as hell and I even gave him my address to pick it up. He then paying me by paypal is easier, and he would be more comfortable getting the card number then he would pay me. He showed me his I.d., his LinkedIn, explaining how he's a father of 3, etc. I almost did but something felt wrong about it. I then thankfully googled him:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1528879457442890/posts/4040945566236254/

I got so angry and wanted to tell him to fuk off, what a POS scum he was, but unfortunately, he had my address so I just deleted the chat and blocked him. I have nothing but negative experiences with FB Marketplace. I've had much better success with craigslist even though it's pretty dead.

This. How you can get to your 40s without knowing this? Basic survival skills. I expected more from a military veteran.

I thought it was common knowledge that criminals use online marketplaces to meet up and rob people, often using lethal force.

i sold a pool table for 700 dollars and you can tell when the profile is fake or the person is sketchy. They always want to take the convo off the messenger or say they can't do cash and attempt the cashapp scam. Anything i've ever sold on the market place has been cash only.. it was two tradies who picked the pool table up from the shop
