we’re using it a lot because we’re clearing out to move. It’s way easier than ebay, you tend to shift stuff a lot sooner, and you don’t have to pay ebay fees so it’s a winner all round there. But what @pervo said about it being stressful and intense is so right, you get so many messages, and lots of them a pricks as well.
Venting about rude people, bit boring tbh
We put a couple of Fred Perry tracksuit tops up on there last weekend (charity shop purchases by me when I was a teenager, realised very quickly it was a terrible look but hung onto them for 10 years because I knew they had value) had seen those same tops going for £50+ on ebay but thought right we just want rid of them so we’ll stick them on fb for cheap and they’ll be gone by tomorrow, put them up for £25 each. Her Indoors put the first one up and immediately somebody messages her just with “tenner” and nothing else, ignored that, rude bastard. Next person at least says hello and asked if she’d take £15, she politely says no because we knows we’re offering a bargain already, he says “used isn’t it?” she says yes it is, then he just responds “£15”. Ignored him, rude prick. Third guy was alright, asked for £20 but was happy to pay the £25 when she told him. So I listed the next one because she’s had enough of these wankers, immediately I got a super polite message off one of the men who’d been rude to her asking if I’d possibly consider £15, when I told him no he agreed to £25 but I told him I’d sold it because I didn’t like that he’d been rude to a woman and polite to a man. A nice person bought it like a day later.
