Facebook might not be the place to find high-end furniture, but it is everything that Craigslist was, and before that newspaper classifieds were, especially in rural areas.

I've recently purchased these items via Facebook groups and marketplace, all of which were listed no place else:

- the exact boat I had wanted for years

- a ton of home brewing gear

- lightly used children's shoes, at $75 off list price

- a chest freezer

- a 4k monitor

I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it is outrageously effective.
