Facebook Marketplace

I have found some great AC stuff on Facebook Market place. I like it.Craigslist around here has only horse stuff on it most of the time. Tracy

I’m well aware of how they work. We put them in our tools we manufacture.

Just think about a little bigger picture a little farther down the road. What information will be put on there and required for what purposes.

Typical slippery slope argument. You give that, it’s just an ID or back up ID verification. Then what? Before you know it, your chip is required for every transaction you make, or is accessed while making the transaction whether you agreed to it or not. Doesn’t have to be from outer space, just near enough, and it ain’t hard to do. Go ahead, but not for me!

I have used both but CL works the best for me. FB folks know a lot about alice clabers just ask them.

My Great Great Grandpa was a Union soldier at the time and was called upon for that duty of the hangings or more so he was present as one soldier of the 6 companies of soldiers present from the Tenth Minnesota Voluntary Infantry Regiment. He was pretty fresh from Norway just a few years earlier, coming to America at the age of 16.

I have stayed away from it also in spite of the prodding that I needed to get up to speed.  After seeing Tom's posting, I decided to take a peek and liked what I saw on the Market Place.  So....... I weakened and signed up.  Apparantly they have a "probation" period and now I can't access.  I can not even follow up on a couple of "messages" I initiated execpt those that had progressed off the site.  Thought I would just use "chaskaduo" suggestion again and now blocked there also. Easy fix, just delete the membership and found that is not as easy as the couple of "clicks" it took to sign up...By the way, "chaskaduo," is that like Chaska MN/Twincities/Mpls/St Paul?  Dale

I've heard so many horror stories over the years about that facebook, that the wife and I don't even get involved with anything like that. These scammers, all they do is work at getting into peoples accounts all day. They need to get a real job and stay outta' peoples business. The next thing ya know, they have your SS number and that's all she wrote!

I'm on FB, ---Bout to quit again--- the whole fb is the biggest scam out there. CL is a much better place.---Ya scammers on there too, just gotta watch yourself.

can you look in other areas beside just the 100 mi from your sign in area?

I ain't a Facebook member. I can only see the listings. When I click on them, they will not load.

Yeah that's that hash tag game everybody thinks will draw more lookers to their posting. I think it is abused myself.

john(MI),  as always,  buyer beware.
