Any of these kinds of transactions, I'm on high alert the whole time. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 05:31 9
- yeah, like I have my dad's stamp collection which near as I can tell is probably worth something, but like I don't *really* know anything about it, - mafic Mar 28, 05:46 1
  - It's all the gluing. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 06:38
- for that much money I am kind of shocked he would let the person into his house. I meet at a store to sell $10 worth of stuff ffs -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 28, 05:32 6
  - here people tend to meet at subway stops a lot, but picking up from someone's house isn't unusual. -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 06:44
  - I'm surprised anyone sells anything on Facebook Marketplace -- nm* - oblique Mar 28, 06:40 4
    - it is really big in Canada. Kijiji is a ghost town as everyone uses FB -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 28, 06:48 1
      - and you can spot a lot of scammers too, just watch for the recently created bios and with the FB activity people get outted pretty quick -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 28, 06:49
    - Sadly, it's one of the most popular sites for selling used goods. I don't use it but so many do. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 06:43 1
      - We use it for high value Barn Sale items but they have to come to the Museum for the purchase. People here also use Police Station lobbys. -- nm - Meg Mar 28, 07:45
Oof. I'd be embarrassed as much as mad. -- nm - Krusty Mar 28, 05:27
