Ebay is still the best. It sucks that local thrift stores are such garbage these days. Goodwill, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, they're all pretty crummy these days. Goodwill went super corporate and became more like Big Lots (buying unsold department store stock) rather than a perpetual garage sale like it used to be. And prices for anything good are Ebay level.

Facebook marketplace seems to be a bunch of scams these days, not to say it isn't useful for some stuff but I've noticed niche items are often scammers/fakes. Not sure what their goal is. Craigslist depends on location but in my area it's shit now.

So since Ebay charges to list and sell stuff it's still best since that weeds out most scammers and you'll probably be paying Ebay prices wherever else you look at these days.

    I needed a new old motherboard and was able to get one on ebay... and then my account was suddenly suspended without explanation. Guess it's good that I already got what I needed out of it?

    I've managed to sell a couple of things on offerup recently, but man am I having trouble buying anything from it. It seems like people post there and then abandon the app forever while their listings just stay up indefinitely.
