Facebook Marketplace

Only place to look anymore.  Craigslist is so full of junk and spammers.

Not TOO late, Tom - getting there is getting there lol. I just "discovered" it back when I put out a "Wanted" on Craigslist, the eventual seller contacted me and told me to go to Fakebook Marketplace, I've had an account for years but rarely use it and had no idea about marketplace. So I bought that All-Crop 13-7 grain drill from him. NOT a lot of Allis stuff there, but it's better than anywhere else including CL. At least locally.

Just go to   https://www.facebook.com/marketplace   on the internet. you can choose your area etc.  That is what I do.

john(MI),  as always,  buyer beware.

Yeah that's that hash tag game everybody thinks will draw more lookers to their posting. I think it is abused myself.

I ain't a Facebook member. I can only see the listings. When I click on them, they will not load.

can you look in other areas beside just the 100 mi from your sign in area?

I'm on FB, ---Bout to quit again--- the whole fb is the biggest scam out there. CL is a much better place.---Ya scammers on there too, just gotta watch yourself.

I've heard so many horror stories over the years about that facebook, that the wife and I don't even get involved with anything like that. These scammers, all they do is work at getting into peoples accounts all day. They need to get a real job and stay outta' peoples business. The next thing ya know, they have your SS number and that's all she wrote!

I have stayed away from it also in spite of the prodding that I needed to get up to speed.  After seeing Tom's posting, I decided to take a peek and liked what I saw on the Market Place.  So....... I weakened and signed up.  Apparantly they have a "probation" period and now I can't access.  I can not even follow up on a couple of "messages" I initiated execpt those that had progressed off the site.  Thought I would just use "chaskaduo" suggestion again and now blocked there also. Easy fix, just delete the membership and found that is not as easy as the couple of "clicks" it took to sign up...By the way, "chaskaduo," is that like Chaska MN/Twincities/Mpls/St Paul?  Dale

Yep Dale, that's Elliott Chaska Jr. They hung my Great Great Grandpappy at Fort Snelling. No just kidding. I'm not sure if I have much Indian in me. I hear tell that the Indians would name their son after the first meaning full thing they encountered in the morning of the birth, and that my ancestors were traders along the river and so the son was named Chaska, who later became a Chief of the tribe. This may not be true, I don't know for sure, but it sounds just as good as they hung my Great Great Grandpappy at Fort Snelling of which I understand there was a hanging of such but it was all a mistaken identity thing. OK more than you wanted to know. I think I'm just a regular Ol Heinz 57 myself.

My Great Great Grandpa was a Union soldier at the time and was called upon for that duty of the hangings or more so he was present as one soldier of the 6 companies of soldiers present from the Tenth Minnesota Voluntary Infantry Regiment. He was pretty fresh from Norway just a few years earlier, coming to America at the age of 16.
