    Best of luck to ya, then.

    Just passing along advice I got from someone who sells stuff for part of his living. But hey, what does he know?

    Always wanted a sealed floor. How slippery is it wet? Never know coming in on the Road king could be hazardous. I have to watch out for the AZ dust.

    Fair enough if you have the patience for it.
    I dont.

    I dont have fb on my phone and coming back to a dozen "do you still have this" messages, responding to all of them and only getting one response back that reads like they either typed it with their face or had a stroke drives me nuts.

    My strategy for the last few years has been posting detailed well written adds on CL and deleting any responses that dont match the effort I put into my add. I wind up engaging with very few people and the ones I do tend to be pleasant and trouble free.

    Of course TW Classifieds is a lot better.

    Hard to say, I was wearing boat shoes while cleaning so it wasn’t slippery at all. This one has some flake texture so I think it’ll be fine in regular shoes too.

    Not saying you are or should, just saying he does it all day and knows they best places to buy and sell stuff and swears by Facebook over the others was all.

    Twitch does bring up a good point though in that he may be more calloused to the messages from inquiries.

    I think FB is not bad if you have the time or patience. It can just be tiresome.
    Likely the biggest issue is the average FB person who sees your phone is scrolling while pooping or otherwise bored, vs intentionally looking for something on CL

    ETA - FB is great for a wider audience, but at the same time you have to engage with more ppl per sale.

    Anyways, sorry for making a suggestion that could help someone buy or sell something. Didnt realize the "Reeee! Facebook!" was that strong.

    Of all the places, Facebook is where I ended up selling my truck, so I agree with you there. I know plenty of people with a blank profile solely for marketplace.

    If it was a suggestion you would have stopped with the first message. Now you are trying to force your opinion (or your bosses?) on someone that said no thank you... Why does it matter where someone who is not yourself decides to peddle or buy their crap?

    I resent the accusation that I like Facebook. I hate Facebook. But if it makes you feel better to think I do, go ahead.

    And your sushi example is backwards. Im telling you to go to the restaurant, you're the one insisting the gas station sushi works for you, lol.

    WUT.. LMAO.. dude.. YOU said Facebook is the best place to buy and sell stuff. I'm saying if I wanted to buy and sell shit.. I would use a dedicated platform.. not a general one that has classifieds..

    My example is spot on. By your Facebook/Buy/Sell logic.. you would be fine getting sushi from the gas station.. because.. well. They have it and it's a good deal. SMH

    So the whole thing started with him saying he doesnt use facebook. A sentiment I totally understand because, to many, they see Facebook as a social media site first and foremost. As a result many (like him) have straight up never even bothered to use it.

    My point was to highlight that Facebook marketplace, at least here in Phoenix, has largely supplanted Craigslist. I dont even need my boss' opinion on that. I used to idly browse Craigslist looking for good deals on anything I might need. Even scored some brand new $300 rear bump stops and a U-bolt flip kit for $50 on there. But I noticed shit was drying up and then learned that the 'book's Marketplace was the place to go.

    As we see here though, it doesnt seem to matter when people want to wear the "I dont use Facebook. Period" as a badge of honor. Even if its unknowingly to their detriment because... Marketplace is flat out better than Craigslist and OfferUp and its hard for me to accept a dissenting opinion from people who have never even tried Marketplace.

    So yeah, sorry its hard for me to take people getting upset with me for making a suggestion that could benefit them lying down. I've met @XPOTRPR before and I know he's a good guy. I got nothing against him.

    EDIT: I hate touchscreen phones. Typos.

    This from the guy who only eats gas station sushi! :D

    Edit for fairness:

    The best place to get sushi is at a restaurant. The best place to buy/sell stuff locally is Facebook marketplace.

    A bad place to get sushi is a gas station.
    A bad place to buy/sell things (these days) is craigslist.
