Like a guy I bought a pinball machine from last week on FBMP. I was setting up
the time and date for a visit with him, and right after doing so, he messages
me and says, “I only ask one thing: if you’re not going to show up that you
please let me know so I’m not sitting around waiting on you.”
For supposedly world-class programmers and a company owner that wants to
fundamentally transform the world, the FBMP database functionality is on par
with RBase for DOS. Actually that is being very insulting to RBase, RBase could
actually do database functions like search and organization.
Facebook Marketplace apparently was designed by a group of people who never
actually worked in a real business or ever ran a lemonade stand in their
youth. They designed the entire platform so that the seller and the buyer
have no easy [or hard] way to ever actually meet and exchange goods for
I’ve had mixed results with FBMP but more positive than negative. It seems to
be populated with marginal morons in many cases but some decent folks in
others.

This is the hole that FBMP is, sadly. Despite the abuse, I continue to check it
regularly for deals. I’ve found a fair number, it’s a PITA, but sometimes worth
the effort.

Okay, so BIL is in Florida, so I figured I'd look for a car to have shipped to
the rust belt. Found a W210 two hours after it was listed. Cool. Message the
guy, no response. Just checked again, found the car relisted (twice), responded
to both ads, still no response. Grr.
I have messaged
