But, that's about all they're good for. That's about it. However it quickly gets lost in the sea of for sale posts of jerseys in leagues you barely or never have even heard of.

Bears1000 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Reddit > Facebook I have yet to make a sale on Facebook, but I have been pretty successful on Reddit. There's also a lot less dummies on there and people seem to be genuinely interested in other people's collections. They don't ask if what you posted is for sale every time, which is my biggest pet peeve about the Facebook groups. I feel like this is how every mailday post goes on Facebook: OP: "Got these in today" 30 people replying: "is it for sale?????" 10 more people: "how much??" OP: "not for sale" At least 1 more person: "I'm also interested. I've been looking for this style for a long time." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I check Reddit here and there and all I usually see are authentics and not gamers. Do people sell gamers on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 And when people are interested in what you just picked up, they will only be willing to offer 60% what you paid for it. I generally only post stuff I would be open to moving (not actively shopping, but if a good trade or offer came up, then why not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr_Puck Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Facebook selling makes no sense. I tend to sell the most random junk out of my collection but some of my decent jerseys (especially those above $250) get no movement. But we all know the secret to successful selling is to either 1) Bump your post every hour or every day or 2) Simply delete a post and then re-post the same thing a week later. Courtesy is not often a consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlereFlammam Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Didn’t even see your bump. I’m convinced that most posts actually don’t show up. It would be nice if they show in chronological order.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsguy Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) It's pretty funny how many people took that post seriously. At the same time it is telling at how much of that cr@p actually happens where for many it is hard to distinguish someone doing it sarcastically or someone just being an idiot. FB is the worst place for this hobby to be on simply because FB makes it so hard to see what you want to see and what you don't want to see. I hesitate to even view the comments of certain posts because once I do that, the stupid FB algorithm will automatically think I am super interested in that post and will kick it near the top every single time I am in that group. That's an awful way to sorting and wish there was a way to turn it off so everything is sorted chronologically. There are brand new posts on there that I have to scroll through about a dozen or two old posts that I previously clicked on 2 weeks earlier for a minute just to get to that brand new post.

The worst is when FB will decide to alert me of a new thread in one of those groups... that was posted like 12 hours ago. Like, WTF??

Devilsguy Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Do you guys use the FB app or use it in-browser? I typically use the app on my phone and that's where a lot of problems arise. When viewing on a browser it seems the alerts and organization is overall a lot better than on the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
