The site that quite literally has it all. From trucks, to fridges, to phones, heck you might be able to come across a brand new TV. Yup, I’m talking about Facebook Marketplace. The place where you can go on an endless deep dive to find just about anything. 

 To be honest, if you asked me a couple months ago, I’d probably not have much to say about Marketplace. “Ya, it’s cool I guess” , is the response you would’ve gotten out of me, but now I have to say, I could be their number one fan. I scroll through that thing for hours on end with no particular item in mind I want to purchase.. The other day I caught myself messaging a guy about horse trailers. I wish I was kidding, it’s embarrassing just saying it cause 1 I don’t own a horse, and 2 I don’t own a horse. So why was I asking Ron from the Fraser Valley if his horse trailer was available? Only God knows. I mean I guess my thought process was storage, maybe a camping trailer flip, the possibilities are endless and it was a STEAL, but I passed on the horse trailer (sorry Ron.) 

I became really addicted to Marketplace in December when I was convinced a pickup truck would be my next big life move. This obsession with trucks lasted a week, asking everyone if their truck was still available even if there was no “serious inquiries only” notice, I mean hey, at the time I thought I was serious… until I realized this is just another one of my Marketplace fixations.

And yes I do feel bad for all the people I ghost and I know it’s rude and I have to stop and I’m getting better I swear. But when the price is right you have to strike fast on Marketplace, people snatch things up quick, not my fault I want to beat you to the punch.

I dabbled into the selling side of things for a bit, selling old clothes, shoes, honestly whatever I didn’t want at the time, it was kinda exhilarating. Until I was looking for my green sweater and remembered I sold it to Jen. I hope you’re enjoying my sweater Jen… so I took a hiatus from selling and I’m back to just the buying (well looking) side of things for now until my adrenaline from the selling madness wears down. Is this Marketplace addiction totally normal or am I just crazy? I can’t be the only one who loves a bargain! It’s like thrifting from the comfort of your own home!
