Facebook Marketplace...

I've heard some really good and really bad things about it. As someone who wants to buy less new things, I really like the idea of it. However, I saw something happen outside a thrift store once. A woman was waiting with a bunch of merchandise. We caught glances as I entered the store. When I was leaving I saw the same person yelling at a man to 'go get the money for the items.' I was a little confused at first and then realized what was going on. People also keep telling me that I need to go with a second person to sell or buy anything. Have a 'buddy system' in place. I thought about getting these nice wall decor pieces from a lady selling them on fb marketplace. I later changed my mind only because the drive would be too long. Maybe you have heard of Homeworthy on Youtube. Lots of folks appearing on the program seem to have gotten many of their most unique items from Marketplace. I'm still a little nervous about it...
