    Honestly Marketplace is the best argument for FB today. How it has usurped Craigslist I don’t understand, maybe because it’s easier to navigate, but you’re right that it is the defacto modern market.

    I don’t use it so I forget about it, but this is a good counterpoint.

      I believe a major reason is reputation tied to a person’s account. OfferUp has also superceded Craigslist in my area and I think the user history and reputation system plays a role there. Same with other stuff like eBay, Mercari, StockX. Craigslist is too anonymous
