I bought something silly on facebook market place last night. I hope it's not a scam but I am supposed to pick it up this weekend. Send me all the spare good luck you have.
When we moved from Salt Lake to west Georgia, I made daily trips to the county dump or the local charities. Our living room furniture was nice but very bulky. We had a set of 1987 Encyclopedia Britannica which were very nice but basically pretty redundant. The wife is a Facebooker so she decided to go on Marketplace.
Bam!
Most sales were same or next day. An attorney took the Britannica set to class up his office for video conferences - $25. A sofa out the door to a lady trying to outfit her son's apartment in Grand Junction, CO. Another $25.
A loveseat to a BNB owner for $20.
Same for end tables and other accessories.
You cannot give your junk away but people will gladly shell out cash if they think they're getting a bargain.
