I've used Facebook marketplace and it's OK but it's totally overrun with scammers, and loads of people that will click the "is this still available" button and then never respond back. Takes way more work to filter through all the bullshit than Craigslist where someone has to go through the trouble of typing up an email to you.

I recently tried FB Marketplace and it's almost all scammers now. They're all running some dumb Venmo scam where they to get you to send them money because they "overpaid" or some nonsense. They're not even local to try to get the item.

I had a pretty good luck with FB marketplace. Yeah, there are scammers, but most so unimaginative and uninspired, it’s pretty easy to ignore them. I haven’t run into any choosing beggars yet.
