Can I sell stuff on facebook? - Demeter - 04-08-2014 08:27 PM
I have a ton of stuff - clothing, shoes, books, bags, and so forth - that I want to get rid of. I'm planning on taking most of it to consignment stores and doing a garage sale when it warms up, but I also wanted to use social media.
Would I be able to post a picture of the thing that I'm selling, on Facebook, with some info about it, say that I'm selling it, the rough amount I'm asking for it, and contact info if people are interested? I'm curious if this is legal and if anyone has had experience with this/sold stuff to their friends on Facebook before.
Thanks in advance!

You prbly can but it wont be that effective... My best thign, would be to use craigslist and put out a garagesale ad in your area and just take a picture from a distance of all your stuff and give a brief description

Yes, as already mentioned do a FB search of around where you live and you might be surprised at all of the various garage sale type groups. I live in a rather rural area that we're not even listed in Craigslist. But surprisingly we had like 4 garage sale groups.
Your goal is to find something local especially is you use Craig's List. If not local, then try selling on eBay.
Good Luck!
