[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sell 100% of my items on Facebook marketplace at the price I ask. Not sure why that isn’t working for you? I say no haggling. My prices are very fair.

But I agree with you. As a society we also don’t want 18 year olds working. We want them in trade school or in college. [/quote]

Do you actually make a profit or just recover what you originally paid?[/quote]

Huh? You aren't supposed to make a profit on facebook marketplace. You're supposed to sell used items at 50% or less of the cost. If you do make a profit, you're going to need to pay taxes.[/quote]

There are definitely people who pick up stuff from BuyNothing groups or other giveaways and then try to resell it.

Sometimes I care, and sometimes I don't.  I gave away a somewhat beat up bike (but good brand) and a person came from like Manassas into DC and admitted he would fix it up himself and then resell it.  Seems like a ton of work to make like $50-$100, but it was clear this person was making a run to multiple places in DC and Bethesda to grab stuff.[/quote]
