Overpriced bootlegs and shitty used toys for toddlers

.buncha ass wipes that waste your time if you get any hits at all. I've sold one thing in two years, a box of mmpr stuff.

I don't deal with Facebook at all. It's just too annoying, and Zuckerberg made his billions off of Facebook being the world's largest data-harvesting site.

Ditto
It's lazy ass yard sales and not worth the other BS just to occasionally possibly find something

Has it ever been any different? Back when Craigslist was the place, if you managed to get that 1/10 person who even responded to you, 90% they’d never show or show and try to stiff you for a lower price than agreed. On ebay people renege on auction wins all the time, it’s so gd annoying.

Yup. My last almost sale ended with me loading the shit up in the car and on my way dude flaked out.
After I took $10 off btw.
Idk, I might try mercari

I haven't even touched facebook in literal years

Same. Deactivated my account when I was in high school half a lifetime ago to escape all the E-drama and never bothered with real social media again.

ebay is annoying but is the only actual alternative since people here allowed B/S/T to die.
Once this board become infested with assholes, bots, /pol-tards, and people who just want to shit-post and settled in /toys/ because /co or /fit or whatever else ran them off or banned them due to better janitors, B/S/T has become a mostly inactive shell.
Y'all fucking shit on hate on reddit but the only things I managed to sell in the past six months (admittedly with very little listing because I haven't updated in years) was two toys on EB but $100+ in flipped Joe's to one buyer on reddit.

That’s why I stopped doing Craigslist or Marketplace. The wasted time was a constant frustration. That, and the prevalence of people expecting you to ship or deliver items to them.

eBay would be so much better if they made the filter controls easier. The app is gimped, you literally have to go through a labyrinth of menus in your web browser to be able to filter out foreign buyers, who always fuck things up, no question. Also, eBay should get serious about banning accounts that engage in bad faith practices like bidding on multiples of the same item before reneging on almost all the auction wins.

Some cool stuff. My state has a toy meetup group that has a market show every month.

Local sales are best for things that would cost too much to ship but anything cheap and easy to ship is always cheaper on ebay or reddit. I've gotten some good speaker deals on FB, either by people who have no idea what they have and want to clean house or people who do know what they have and price accordingly. I can't imagine there's anything else worthwhile on there

It's definitely on marketplace, but the hobby as a whole. People seem to think that if something is "old", it's worth money regardless of condition. The amount of shitty low-res photos of a bunch of 90s toys in a box that look to be mostly McDonalds Happy Meal toys or common shit and they're like "lot of toys $500 bucks."
But the thing that pisses me off most is "VINTAGE RARE!" Just because you say it's rare doesn't mean it is.

I keep thinking about trying my hand at Facebook marketplace. I made a run at selling as a business, complete with a distributor account and relatively normal prices, several years ago. But my online sales ended when eBay went down the shitter so I've only been going to a handful of conventions for the last few years. It's a bit slow going working through old inventory, sprinkled with newer stuff, like when I have to order two of something for free shipping because there's literally not even a second different toy for me to buy instead.

Unfortunately, I see the opposite problem from OP. Online, people are so poor, unwilling to pay anything for anything, and the fees from the marketplace for access to such people is like burning 5 barrels of oil to find 3. That's not workable at the low end. At the more expensive/valuable end, where even selling at a loss can still reclaim a decent amount of money, you're at very high risk of fraud where you send the item and walk away with _no_ money, courtesy of those venues' high fees.

Specifically, I've got a few Haslabs that I'd like to sell off because they didn't do anything for me but are virtually impossible to sell because shipping is insane, fees are insane, and locals just can't afford them.
