Every one one of my friends and family use it daily. And a huuuuuge sell is marketplace. Literally no one touches Craigslist anymore. So if you wanna buy used from people, you literally need marketplace.

Which is also fucked, since the likelihood you have a legit transaction is low. The scammers are most active on marketplace.

“Literally no one?” My partner and I just picked up a couch from a couple thru Craiglist, all of us aged around 30 years old. We both love to read the Missed Connections posts on there. I agree that facebook’s marketplace has a good hold on ubiquity at the moment, but nobody “literally” needs it.

Lol you do not need fb marketplace. Thrift stores and flea markets are great for furniture. For everything else there’s eBay. Stop making excuses. Stop giving this evil company your money.
