Dingdingding. I moved in with my girlfriend, and I am wanting for us to be very intentional with the furniture/house purchases we make, buying used where possible. So, I tell her to use Facebook Marketplace (RIP CL for the normies). A day later, she’s excited to go pick up a mirror from someone on there, and without looking at the posting, I go accompany her to pick it up from this stranger. When we get there, it’s someone selling cheap chinese mirrors from out of a shipping container (while dodging taxes and other regulations I am sure!) She loves the mirror and wants it anyway. Super flimsy, overpriced, bad materials, ecologically damaging, publicly damaging (no taxes!) This is not what I had in mind when I wanted her to buy high quality pre-owned furniture, but this kind of cheap scheme is winning out over and over again.
