Facebook Market shoppers are so dumb compared to Craigslist

Facebook has basically killed good ol' Craigslist, and I hate it. Craigslist shoppers were smart and knew what they wanted and how to do it. I've been trying to set up a meeting place and time for 30 minutes now with this chick. This is the second time this week I've had trouble with Facebook users.

I hate Facebook.

Im buying a kayak Sunday that I found on facebook marketplace, and coincidentally the three emails I sent out on Craiglist this week have gone unanswered.

Are you trying buy a whore online and complaining it’s taking too long?

I had a lady text me about buying her horse. I advised I didn't contact her about buying a horse. She said I did. I said OK send me pic of your horse. She did. I said can you send me a pic of you riding the horse topless. Never heard from her again.

I loved Craigslist. Simplicity itself.

Facebook algorithm only shows certain items for sale. I have to search for various terms just to find the items I want. Also, the distance seems to be truly bizarre. It throws up items that are halfway across the country.

Got a buddy that constantly helps FB buyers with BASIC addition.

For instance, he lists an item for $150. They will message him and it looks like this

Item still available?

Yes

$90

+$60 = $150

They're the fricking worst. My wife(no pics) is always trying to sell kid stuff we don't need anymore and these stupid bitches are so flaky. Setting meeting times and just flat out not showing.

Facebook Marketplace is the worst. I had something listed and about 3-4 times I had people agree to a price and they’d never show up. Or they just throw out offers which I’d agree to and then they’d say “ok I’ll let you know”. I forgot to take the listing down and two weeks ago someone asked if they could come over to check out the item. Yes, I’m avoiding friends and co-workers but I’ll let some fricking stranger in my house.

Why not meet at your house, that's what I do. On Facebook you have all the buyers info and a pic of them.. If I don't like the person I just don't answer them. Also I have guns and cameras at the house, why leave that to meet in a parking lot.

People on Facebook are very dramatic about it too. I once got scolded in the comments section of the listing because a woman claimed I skipped her, ignored her message, and that she was "next". She messaged me with some weird story about how she was in Arkansas but would get her brother, who lives in Alexandria, to drive down and get it.

This listing was not a big-ticket item. It only saved a person about $40 compared to just going to Home Depot and getting a brand-new one, so I ignored it as a favor to her brother. She even reported me for abusing the rules or whatever and continued to harass others who commented.

Another time I sold a fully assembled baby crib and even specified that a truck or trailer would be needed. The listing had pics and dimensions. They showed up in a Toyota RAV4.
