I'm thinking about creating a (or re-activating my old) facebook account for the sole purpose of accessing FB Marketplace.

I've scanned a tutorial on locking FB down and think it might be worth a shot.

FB Marketplace seems to be the hot place to sell things.

Comment/suggestions on this idea?

FB marketplace or local pages ie (your county) for sale FB page...was a place local thieves to turn their stolen items when I worked larceny/burglary.

Always meet in a safe place, my PD had cameras in the parking lot and advertised it so people could safety swap money/goods
