    Buying things online in 2005 was certainly better. Ebay was a wild place. You’d get in bidding wars going a dollar at a time. Sometimes you’d walk away with a pretty great deal. Not like now how you’ll go to a garage sale and some dude wants retail for his 4 year golf clubs. That’s in large part due to fb marketplace. It’s straight ruined garage sale finds

      Sorry, what exactly about Facebook marketplace? Too low prices, or too high? Or do you just mean the fact that theres no bidding on there? Haven’t been on there in a while so not sure what the correlation is.

        Marketplace ruined (affordable) great garage sale finds.

        Now some girl will want 300 dollars for her 2 year old vacuume cause that’s what some moron actually paid

          Before the internet there were still people who thought their stuff was worth more than it was. I do feel like garage sales in general though have declined so thats a bummer.
