Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted December 10, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 10, 2022 They are still too worried about censoring people instead of trying to get rid of all the fraud going on. All the fucking ads now too...place is just about 100% shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I haven't used Market Place to list anything for a while, but I've had good luck with it. The last sled I sold, I only had one contact that appeared to be a scammer but it was easy to tell and I just ignored/deleted the message. It's definitely better than Craigs List, and if Market Place is a pile now too .... I'd be curious what the next best option is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Craigslist used to be f'ng great... Marketplace ruined it. eBay used to be great too until it turned into a retail store. Have bought and sold several items on marketplace with success, just have to weed through the losers and scammers. I miss the days of the local buyers guide and newspaper but I'm vintage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
