It blows my mind that no one has managed to create a decent alternative for buying/selling used stuff locally. So many people I know hate Meta... but still use Facebook Marketplace.
The problem isnt a technical issue, its a social problem Short of bringing your stuff to a physical local swap meet, there will always be issues in coordinating some meet up time. There will always be something with low balls, i know what i got mentality, scammers.
There is a reason why second hand shops and thrift shops are still in business.
