My son listed a couple of things for me for sale, a 60 sheets of old roofing tin and a 75 gallon transfer fuel i had been trying to sell for quite a while and sold the tin in 45 minutes and 2 days for the fuel tank. Both were good buyers to deal with. ------------- CA WD WD45 D17 D17 Diesel 7060 8050 8070 |

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. ------------- I need more than 200 characters for my "signature." I'd love to see that changed to 250! |

You can put as much,or as little personal information on facebook as you prefer. One advantage over CL,is that you can view the persons profile to see what kind of person you are dealing with,as opposed to flying blind on CL.

People don't need to work very hard at getting your personal information. It was just revealed to the public, that the State of Illinois DNR released( actually just made public, if you looked) the names, address and social security numbers of anybody that has a registered boat in the State. They claim they have fixed the problem, Pfffttt! ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We-Chank-Wash-ta-don-pee" rel="nofollow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We-Chank-Wash-ta-don-pee

When I advertise on FB---I state item is as pictured and is as priced and is as described! ---no need for other conversations about it. -- either you are interested or you are not--IF not dont message me! That usually cuts down on most of the spammers. ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |

Typical slippery slope argument. You give that, it’s just an ID or back up ID verification. Then what? Before you know it, your chip is required for every transaction you make, or is accessed while making the transaction whether you agreed to it or not. Doesn’t have to be from outer space, just near enough, and it ain’t hard to do. Go ahead, but not for me! |

I’m well aware of how they work. We put them in our tools we manufacture. Just think about a little bigger picture a little farther down the road. What information will be put on there and required for what purposes. |

Facebook marketplace is pretty eye opening. I think it’s cleaner because your Facebook profile is available to buyers and sellers. I found an AC 920 diesel ten miles from me. I was the back buyer. Someone had already looked and was going to “be back” . He did too. Seller was more than willing to let me pen hook the guy though. Picked up a 54” GT deck for my Cub Cadet great transaction. Also a great source for second,discounted or over stocked construction materials. ------------- Learning AC...slowly |
