For me personally I have more tech and hardware stuff but also just general items. I used Craigslist back in the day but that site now seems even worse. Am I correct or do I just need to rethink how I post? It’s never been good but it’s seemed like it’s never gotten better. I’m aware of Facebook market place but I really want to stay away from anything meta if possible.

I’m scared of getting scammed selling online. With all the nonsense sellers can say, the fees to eBay or whoever, shipping costs and hassle, online and shipped is the last resort for me unless it’s something small and simple.

Do I have to take my stuff to the flea market, set up everything in my trunk, and hustle?

    OfferUp is full of spam, but as long as you use an email alias that you can delete later and meet at one of their designated safe seller spots (mostly police stations), it works ok. Probably not “the” answer, but it’s another possibility to add to the collection of shitty options. I sold some stereo stuff on there recently without issue, other than bargaining down a bit.
