If you do skip CL and just use FB classifieds, or FB classfieds and Nextdoor. The majority of the stuff I’ve sold in the last couple years has been FB classifieds. I always list it on both and all CL generates is scammer txt’s. Several friends swear by Nextdoor as well.
Just sold a nice built in microwave last night from a FB classifieds lead.
I’ve actually made a mix of sales recently using CL, FB, and Nextdoor. They all took some time but I eventually got the miscellaneous items sold. Had some lowballs along the way but that’s to be expected anywhere.
