The best marketplace for local deals is surprisingly... Facebook. Safer than Craigslist, you deal with people you know (if only through friends or their profile) and you don't need to risk your money as a buyer or your items as a seller.
Fobo's initial price is also iffy if you're selling a customized item...
- vegashacker 13y agoIs there a particular Facebook app you use, or is it more a status update kind of thing: "Hey, any takers for my old iPhone 4" ? I guess that would work for a one off thing. But selling stuff to my friends I feel that I have to give them an exceptional deal. And I wouldn't want to pollute everyone's feed with a bunch of items.
- mcintyre1994 13y agoYou could try a local private group, there's probably one for sales/swaps/freebies if you search.
- jotm 13y agoNope, just local groups, there's plenty of them everywhere. Not as convenient as a dedicated app/website, but it's good enough for occasional deals...
