As I said above, I haven't used FB but I suspect it is similar to Craig's List. I've sold a ton of stuff on CL over the years and have never had a problem.

The key is to keep things simple. Cash only, no trades, no Paypal, Zelle or any of that crap. If you are uncomfortable about strangers coming to your home then meet at a Wall Mart parking lot.

I've sold my $6000 four wheeler, a Ford pickup for $12,000, several tractor implements well over a grand each, all for cash. No problems.

Hell, IDK, maybe I've just been lucky.

I have used it before with good success. Definitely the way to go for larger items that aren't practical to ship or too expensive to ship such as furniture or appliances.

I've sold a couple of couches and fuel cans on it.

I found a nice 100w Marshall Plexi reissue on FB in Virginia for $1500 shipped. It was listed by some Goodwill-like place and they took credit cards. I knew there was no risk in paying with my Amex. Sure enough, they hit my card about eight times and didn't respond to any messages. No big deal, Amex handled it.

I did a cross-country Craigslist deal for another Marshall amp, but had a phone call with the seller first, got a good vibe from him and had him drop it off at FedEx and had them pack and ship on my account. I Zelle'd him $1300 and it worked out fine.


I found a Vox AC15 custom classic locally last year. Got a pretty good price on it, in my opinion. I only have cheaper electric guitars though, still sounds great plugging a Bullet Strat into an AC15. Big Grin
