Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Everyone here pretending like the FB marketplace isn't the best option for used items now that CL is dead
Yeah but you just use your spouse's facebook acct for that
Haha, yeah, I don't use Facebook or anything, but my partner absolutely uses marketplace and "buy nothing" groups on there.
Did something happen to Craigslist or just old age?
In my area it's aged out. People that use CL are either scammers or trying to make a quick buck, as opposed to the FB marketplace which has both of those PLUS people who just want to get rid of shit and have no idea of the value or don't care about the value of their items.
It's slightly less popular for cars because they started charging for those listings
That would be ebay.
Fees are too high, and global market reach means prices are set at a global or national level rather than local. FB still king for cheap local stuff.
