15 Weird Facebook Marketplace Finds In Central New York

If you’ve ever been bored and decided to scroll Facebook Marketplace "just to look," you already know it's like the wild west. What started as a simple way to sell your old couch has turned into something much stranger.

Facebook Marketplace has kind of taken Craigslist’s spot. Craigslist's website looks straight out of 1994, while Marketplace is built right into Meta, it’s easier to message sellers, and let’s face it, you can just ignore someone or block them with the tap of screen. The advantage too, it looks cleaner when you upload photos or video, where CraigsList was super clunky.

Facebook Marketplace was launched on October 4, 2016. It was introduced as a way for users to buy and sell items locally within the Facebook platform. Initially, it focused on individual users selling to each other, but it has since evolved to include businesses as well.
