Wow. Have you noticed the HUGE amount of stuff for sale here lately?

Man, you don't know how strange this sounds to us Canucks. Is i really that rough down there?
Depends on where you are down here. Houston is bad and has been for years but is getting worse ever since Hurricane Ketrina when all the scum from 'Nawlands' came here. I lived in Houston for 11 years until I got tired of the flooding and the BS and move out in 84 to where I am now which neighbors Houston but live on the far side of that new town. Houston back in the 70's and early 80's had a response time of 45 minutes for police but where I am now, it's 10 minutes or less and usually less. Been here 40 years now this April and so far so good but I still 'carry' everywhere I go and sometimes even on my own property. Better to be ready than not.
nah, nah. if i didn't meet you at a show, thru a friend or thru the board, i'll meet you at the starbux parking lot.


I quit meeting people years ago unless it involved jewelry and I don't mess with that anymore. When I was still married to my X, if we have a nice ring or something for sale, we met at our credit union.
Yes, it’s getting real bad for both sellers and buyers on FB….scammers popping up everywhere! Rob and I belong to a MoPar scammer feedback page and everyday there are posts showing scammers and who to watch out for. Also a great place to educate yourselves…too many good honest people getting scammed by scumbags in Cameroon!! Most of the scammers are on the group pages, don’t really see much on local FB marketplace though.
Can you post up the link to the feedback page? Never hurts to know the latest scams that's happening.
What specifically do you all mean by "scammers" ?
I've seen and dismissed the "Is the item still available" texts.
I never fell for the BS where the part is $100 and the guy wants to send a check for $150 and I'm supposed to send the part and the $50 difference.
What other scams are being pushed?
The 'is the item still for available' is a system generated response on FB. It doesn't mean a scammer is asking or someone who is on the up and up.
I am not sure how that is going to work for people who aren't resellers and just an individual trying to get rid of some junk in their storage.
If you have something for sale and a reseller responds to your ad, they usually offer you 1/2 or less of your asking price.
At the big WPC swap meet this past weekend, stuff was flying off the tables at an incredible rate. Stuff I never thought would sell was being snapped up like crazy. And stuff I thought would sell…..well, it sold! If stuff is not selling in online posts, it would undoubtably be because shipping is way up. My opinion and personal experience anyway.
There were times when stuff flew off of my tables at swap meets and times when hardly anything moved and that was happening in the 90's and early 2000 but I usually didn't venture all that far from the Houston area back then. Couldn't see loading up and driving more than 100 miles on way for a parts swap meet and being down south, going north was just too far and not cost effective.
