Buzzetta Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 eBay fees don't bother me. Someone made an offer on something yesterday morning. It was $145. They offered $107. Told them this is a take it or leave it offer of $125. I probably should have sold it for $110 but the way I see it is that the extra $15 compensates for the fees. I have bought on FB groups but never sold. One time I tried to sell and the buyer flaked and never sent the money. So... Maybe I will try it again.

Gatchaman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I started my own local only FB group which includes WA state, Portland and surrounding, and one of two members in ID. There are almost 1,000 members and a lot of them are doing deals with each other through PMs and meeting up. There are stores who are members, con sellers, and collectors. One seller told me that his sale jumped greatly since he joined. Just an idea. https://www.facebook.com/groups/959471804100536/?ref=bookmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just sold a comic that sat and sat on here! Taking the advice and chatting people up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Less Blob Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 After 36 hours I may need to turn off notifications. Too much. A lot of overpriced stuff and bad photos with no grades. Which means that there is probably treasure to be found if you look enough. And then I see people replying in threads undercutting sellers offering their own books!

AGGIEZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Serious question....since these are mostly closed groups, is everything that is posted only visible to those in the group? I don't want my real friends know how big of a nerd I am... jeranimal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) No I do not think so. I had no facebook before but used a fake last name for this. (My name is long so we use Walsh when making reservations so I did that.) Edited January 3, 2019 by Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mijael.Levy Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Most of people are not 100% commited at FB . They send you private messages telling you "i am interested" or "i will take" and when you reply them with paying instructions and you never hear feom thek again.

I have had a few "is this still available" and then nothing but I am mostly tired of everyone liking my posts but not buying!
